AT THE ORIGINS OF THE DREAM

Founded in 2015 in Northern France by Arnaud Poulain, Les Eaux Primordiales blends heritage, innovation, and French craftsmanship to create unforgettable olfactory experiences. Inspired by industrial aesthetics and minimalist design, each fragrance embodies singularity and artistic precision.

Arnaud Poulain was born in Arras in 1986. He grew up in the countryside in a family of artisans. His father, a metalworker, his uncle, a cabinetmaker, and his grandparents, farmers, instilled in him the values ​​of hard work and artisanal know-how. As a teenager, he developed a passion for science and mechanical engineering. In 2007, he discovered perfumes and was instantly captivated. He then began training in Lens, which provided him with the foundations of the perfumer's craft. It was during his first olfactory classes that he discovered his heightened sense of smell and met Amélie Bourgeois, who became his mentor and continues to guide him today in the technical development of his perfumes.

After a long experience in independent perfumery, he created Les Eaux Primordiales in 2015. Hyperactive, curious and demanding, he demonstrates limitless creativity and does not hesitate to shake up the codes of perfumery to offer unforgettable olfactory experiences.

A visionary artist and lover of the earth, he uses its many facets to craft his perfumes like works of art. Inspiration is born from images that have marked his mind. Reminiscences of childhood or emotions felt in the presence of a work of art, the perfumer uses his visual memory to bring his olfactory creations to life. Painting, photography, and the emotions they evoke form an infinite source of inspiration for his creativity. His constant quest for excellence and authenticity drives him to innovate ceaselessly.
