Brand «Corps Volatils»

In the world of niche perfumery, where every new brand seeks its voice, Corps Volatils emerged as a bold scientific experiment. Founded in 2020 in France by Florence Lacroix and Alexandra Vinogradova, this brand declared from the outset its ambition to deconstruct and reassemble the very essence of fragrant materials. Their philosophy, reflected in the name ("volatile bodies"), is built at the intersection of perfumery art and advanced chemistry. The goal is not just to create a pleasant scent, but to study, transform, and "synthesize" familiar notes, revealing their new, unexpected facets.

Scientific Approach as Perfume DNA

The DNA of Corps Volatils is a deep research approach. The brand actively uses innovative methods, such as fractional distillation and CO2 extraction, to isolate the purest and most expressive molecules from raw materials. This allows perfumers to work with entirely new chords that cannot be obtained through traditional means. Each fragrance is the result of meticulous laboratory work aimed at "hybridizing," "replicating," or "magnifying" a specific material. Such scientific romanticism attracts connoisseurs seeking intellectual depth in their bottles.

This avant-garde spirit is also emphasized by an eco-friendly stance. The brand strives to minimize its environmental impact by using recycled glass for bottles and sustainably sourced ingredients where possible. Thus, the philosophy of Corps Volatils is a synthesis of future technologies, respect for nature, and uncompromising creativity.

Star Perfumers at the Laboratory Table

Realizing such an ambitious concept is possible only for virtuosos. The fragrances of Corps Volatils have been created by a whole galaxy of outstanding "noses" of modern niche perfumery. Among them are the talented Jean-Christophe Hérault, known for his precise and elegant compositions, and Domitille Bertier, whose works are often distinguished by sensual complexity. Masters such as Nicolas Beaulieu and Julien Rasquinet, as well as Nicolas Chabot and Caroline Dumur, have also contributed.

Each of these authors brought their unique vision to the collection, interpreting the given scientific concept through the lens of personal artistic style. Their collaborative work with the brand founders led to the creation of a capsule collection where each bottle is an autonomous study, not rigidly tied to a common line but united by a shared methodology.
