O opens Oasis, Manuel Mathieu's second chapter. It all starts with one of his drawings, The Beginning and the End, where patches of colour gather like islands in a desert. The O drawn on the bottle echoes the shen, the Egyptian ring of eternity.

Juliette Karagueuzoglou (the perfumer) built the scent around a desert rose accord, a rose she imagined rather than one picked from a garden. She sharpened it with pink pepper and juniper, then set it over two absolutes, Tunisian orange blossom and Indian jasmine. Cashmeran, a molecule that is both woody and musky, wraps them in soft warmth. New Caledonian sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla give the scent its foundation.

It opens with a salty, almost mineral edge, like desert air. Then orange blossom and jasmine take over, settling onto soft sandalwood. Manuel Mathieu calls it a quiet strength, and that's exactly it.

The bottle
Manuel Mathieu, who also works in ceramics, first shaped the bottle in clay in his studio. Its relief recalls a mountain and refers to Haiti, whose name means "land of high mountains" in the Taino language. Each box carries a detail of The Beginning and the End.

Made in Grasse, France.

Manuel Mathieu

When visual art meets the art of perfumery

Wearing a Manuel Mathieu fragrance is more than choosing a scent; it is welcoming a work of art into your everyday life.

Each bottle, shaped by the artist from one of his own pieces, is a sculptural object you will want to keep and display like an artwork.

On your skin, the notes unfold like painterly layers of light and shadow, memory and presence, creating an intimate bridge between Haiti and Montréal.

To wear this fragrance is to express a singular identity, to support an internationally renowned Montréal-based artist of Haitian origin, and to offer yourself an olfactory story that feels deeply personal and profoundly moving.

Are your perfumes suitable for sensitive skin or allergies?

All our perfumes comply with the strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). While reactions are rare, if you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend starting with a 1ml sample to ensure compatibility.

How does perfume evolve on the skin?

Perfume is alive. It reacts to your skin, your warmth, the air around you — even your mood.

It unfolds in stages:
The top notes are bright and fleeting — they vanish within minutes.
Heart notes follow, more expressive and personal.
Then come the base notes, deeper and lasting, often present hours later… even the next day.

I can’t smell my perfume after a while — is that normal?

Yes — it’s a natural reaction called olfactory fatigue.

Your sense of smell “filters out” familiar scents to avoid sensory overload. As a result, your fragrance may seem to vanish… but it’s still there, often noticed by those around you.
