Julien Sprecher’s Modern Classics; Les Extraits

A Story of Light, Depth, and Devotion

The Les Extraits collection captures the soul of French luxury, a meeting point between precision and poetry, where the art of perfumery slows time itself. Conceived by Julien Sprecher, the collection revisits the great families of Haute Parfumerie with flashes of creative audacity. Each Extrait; Carios, Eragon, and Valero is an exploration of light and depth, classicism and freedom. Bound by a shared pursuit of excellence, these fragrances feel like characters whose presence precedes them illuminated by their own unmistakable trail.

Eragon

The Radiant Manifesto

Eragon was born from tension between brilliance and shadow, rebellion and restraint.
Built around patchouli, vanilla, and cinnamon, its heart burns with a molten glow, reimagining amber as something incandescent and alive.

Heart Notes: Cinnamon Essence, Davana Essence, Cypriol Essence
Base Notes: Leather Accord, Tonka Bean Absolute, Vanilla Bean Accord, Patchouli Essence

Valero

The Architecture of Elegance

Valero reimagines the woody fougère with architectural precision a study in movement and purity.
Lavender, Bourbon geranium, and cypress form its aromatic structure, resting upon the strength of patchouli and sandalwood.

Top Notes: Bergamot Essence, Cedrat Essence, Juniper Berry Essence
Heart Notes: Bourbon Geranium Essence, Lavender Essence, Cypress Essence, Nutmeg Essence
Base Notes: Patchouli Heart Extract, Sandalwood Essence, Ambrox

Cario

The Rule Breaker

Carios is a bold reimagining of the fougère that noble backbone of masculine perfumery reinvented with heat and contrast. Red mandarin and thyme bring freshness, disrupted by the sensual warmth of tonka bean and vetiver.

Top Notes: Bergamot Essence, Pink Peppercorn Extract, Red Mandarin Essence, Saffron Accord
Heart Notes: Geranium Essence, Red Thyme Essence, Black Pepper Essence
Base Notes: Cedar Essence, Ambroxan, Vetiver Essence, Roasted Tonka Bean Accord

Design & Detail

The Art of the Flacon

Each fragrance in the Les Extraits collection carries a fragment of the Château de Marly not only in inspiration, but in its very design. The flacons, sculpted from weighty glass, are crowned with engraved caps shimmering with guilloché motifs intricate, light-catching patterns that echo the château’s architecture and the artistry of 18th-century engraving.

Carios bears Les Clous de Paris, a geometric motif reminiscent of royal cobblestones; strength, motion, determination.
Eragon swirls with the Course du Soleil, a radiant spiral lifted from the Royal Pavilion’s fresco; light forever in pursuit of itself.
Valero wears the chevron, recalling the château’s parquet salons, where elegance once danced across polished floors and whispered corridors.

Even the cases tell a story: eco-designed, adorned with their respective motifs, and conceived to be reused as jewellery boxes, watch holders, or travel companions. A gesture of beauty that endures beyond the fragrance itself.
