‘Fresh, woody, leathery. An aromatic with depth and edge. With Black Oregano, Atelier Materi reimagines the aromatic intensity through a striking composition built around oregano, a rare and unexpected raw material that unveils its wild richness and elusive depth.’ – Atelier Materi

‘The inspiration came from a bouquet of wild oregano brought back from Portugal last summer. As I stripped the leaves, it felt like I was holding the entire Portuguese sun in my hands: it was fresh, radiant, powerful, and vibrant. I felt compelled to give this ingredient center stage, to treat it as a raw, central material around which I could craft a singular, deeply sensual trail. In creating Black Oregano, I wanted to contrast the raw, expressive, and singular presence of oregano with the sensual depth of leather. Using an aromatic note to evoke a warm sensuality might seem unexpected, but it was precisely this contrast that inspired me.’ – Celine Perdriel
