A note from the perfumer
“A fragrance is the most intimate accessory one can wear. It announces you before you enter a room, and lingers after you leave. At AURA, we compose scents the way a poet composes a line — with patience, restraint, and an obsession for the exact right word.”

— The AURA ritual
Fragrance is composed,
never applied.
Our perfumers suggest pairing two or three extraits from the maison to create a singular scent — a signature that belongs only to the wearer. No two rituals are alike.
Step 01
The opening
Begin with N° III on pulse points. Rose de Nuit unfolds in two hours of soft, powdery light.
Step 02
The accord
Layer with N° V across the collarbone. The saffron threads the rose into smoke and resin.
Step 03
The trace
A whisper of N° XI on the wrist. Vanilla absolue lingers for fourteen hours, like a memory.
— Inside the atelier
A house in
the 6th.
Behind an unmarked door on Rue de Seine, twelve perfumers and a single master compose the maison's eleven extraits. Each formula is aged for a minimum of nine months in ceramic vats before bottling.
We source directly from twelve family farms — iris from Tuscany, oud from Laos, vanilla from Madagascar — and we visit each, every year.
