MAISONVÉRANE
Maison Vérane · Grasse · Édition 07

A fragrance is twelve hours long.

We compose four perfumes a year and rest each in small oak casks for eighteen months. Scroll to observe the opening top notes disperse, the heart bloom, and the quiet resinous base cling to skin until dawn.

§ 03 — The Annual Editions

Four flacons composed with the turning seasons.

We do not maintain a permanent commercial catalogue. Every year in Grasse, we formulate exactly four editions in batches of four hundred numbered bottles. Once an edition is claimed, the formula is catalogued and retired into the cellar vault.

Nº 1
Top-led18 mo. oak

Première Heure

Iris Calcaire

orris butter, chalk, suede

The house signature. Three-year-aged orris root macerated with chalk dust and pale suede leather. It does not shout; it lingers like an echo in a stone cloister.

§ 04 — The Perfumer's Organ

The Organ: compose your own dry-down.

A perfumer creates seated at an orgue — stepped semi-circular shelves of single distillations. Select one botanical harvest from each tier to assemble a bespoke accord, observe its batch code, and inspect how its sillage evolves through twelve hours.

Tier I — top ShelfSelect 1 raw distillation
Tier II — heart ShelfSelect 1 raw distillation

§ 05 — The Atelier in Grasse

Patience, measured in eighteen months.

Located on Rue de l'Oratoire, our workshop operates without commercial production schedules. Distillates are compounded in small glass carboys, then poured into Limousin oak barrels to soften ethanol edges and allow the resinous molecules to harmonize.

§ 06 — Private Consultations

The Salon on Rue de l'Oratoire.

Consultations are held privately in our Grasse townhouse. We do not spray on paper cards. Each formula is applied directly to warm skin, and we observe the dry-down over ninety minutes with cold mountain water and silence.

You leave with your bespoke formulation ledger and a numbered flacon from the current edition.
