From this connection, the idea for Ormaie Paris was born. A perfume house that sees itself as a place where art, memory, and nature enter into a symbiosis. Their diverse perspectives, Marie-Lise's experience and her son's fresh creativity, united in a shared vision. From the very beginning, the duo was committed to setting new standards with Ormaie. All creations consist exclusively of natural ingredients. Synthetic molecules, which often dominate the traditional perfume industry, are deliberately avoided. Instead, the focus is on the quality, purity, and origin of the raw materials. This decision was not only an aesthetic one, but also an ethical one: Ormaie is committed to transparency, sustainability, and respect for the environment and producers.

But Ormaie's story is also a homage to art. Baptiste describes the art of perfumery as a form of literature or painting. Each fragrance is like a chapter in a book or a picture on a canvas. Inspiration comes from personal memories, encounters, and places. "The most beautiful works of art arise when you talk about something very personal," says Baptiste. This very principle characterizes every Ormaie creation. Another characteristic feature of the brand is its extraordinary design. The bottles are faceted on twelve sides, inspired by sundials, and symbolize the long creative process that each perfume goes through. The colorful wooden caps are handcrafted and reminiscent of modern sculptures. Together they form a collection of objects that are also works of art. Today, Ormaie Paris is considered one of the most exciting voices in the international fragrance scene. With every perfume, candle, and care product, the brand continues its story. A story driven by emotions, memories, and the unshakable conviction that true beauty arises in harmony with nature and art.

Also particularly well-known is the 18-12 Eau de Parfum, named after the founder's birthday. It is a tribute to youth and joie de vivre. Bright roses open the bouquet, accompanied by cherries and almonds, which evoke sweetness, warmth and happy moments. This perfume is considered to be the embodiment of Ormaie's positive and emotional signature. In addition to these classics, the collection includes other works, each of which tells its own chapter in the Ormaie story. Le Passant, an aromatic, gentle fragrance, recalls times gone by and familiar gestures. Papier Carbone, on the other hand, has a smoky, woody signature, inspired by the smell of school notebooks, ink and old notebooks. Toi Toi Toi, with its green, fruity notes, is reminiscent of theater traditions and the gesture of congratulations.

A key detail that distinguishes Ormaie perfumes is their dedication to craftsmanship. The fragrances are produced in France, with respect for the time-honored art of perfumery. At the same time, the house sets modern accents with a clear focus on sustainability and naturalness. Each bottle embodies the connection between art and ethics, between emotion and environmental awareness. The packaging reflects this philosophy. The faceted glass is a reminder of the patience and time that go into each creation. The colored wooden caps are handcrafted and resemble small sculptures, making each perfume bottle a collector's item.

Of particular note is the Extrait Yvonne, which was inspired by the classic chypre tradition. It is a tribute to the great perfume legends of the 20th century, but reinterpreted for the present. Its base of oakmoss and patchouli is refined by floral and fruity notes such as damask plum. Yvonne gives the Extrait an opulent yet modern signature. It is a perfume that exudes confidence yet remains subtle. Unlike many conventional Extraits, which often rely on synthetic enhancers, Ormaie relies exclusively on plant essences, resins, and flowers. This purity gives the fragrances an incomparable depth and ensures that they form an almost symbiotic relationship with the skin.

The design of the Extraits also reflects the brand's artistic vision. This makes them not only olfactory masterpieces, but also visual objects that delight collectors and aesthetes alike. The way they are worn differs subtly from the Eau de Parfums. A single touch on the pulse points is enough to create a lasting presence.

Compositionally, 18-12 is a floral, fruity, and gourmand fragrance that combines lightness with depth. In the opening, rose radiates as a luminous top note, conveying freshness, romance, and vitality. It is accompanied by a fruity sweetness of cherry, which has a playful, almost dance-like quality. Almond notes add a delicate gourmand nuance that evokes warmth and comfort.

The fragrance tells a story that many people can relate to. It's a memory of youth, of lightness, and the feeling that the future is open and full of possibilities. The perfume is intended to exude optimism without ever seeming banal. Its depth comes from the natural raw materials that provide an elegant and long-lasting base. Many perfume lovers see 18-12 as the perfect introduction to the world of Ormaie. It's accessible without being ordinary. It's emotional without being sentimental. And it shows how personal and yet universal a fragrance can be.

The bottles themselves bear the brand's unmistakable design. Even in their miniature form, the twelve facets of the glass are present. This makes the Small Bottles appear not merely travel-sized, but rather independent objects that deserve the same attention as the larger bottles. Whether for travel, for everyday use in a handbag, or as a special gift, the Small Bottles are versatile yet luxurious. Their sustainability aspect makes them a contemporary response to the challenges of the perfume industry. While many brands rely on disposable products, Ormaie creates a system that combines reusability with exclusive design. The glass ampoules, which serve as refills, are easy to handle and preserve the integrity of the fragrance.

Technically speaking, the Ampoule Refills represent a real advance. Until now, the perfume industry has offered few solutions that offer refill options for small travel sizes. Ormaie is breaking new ground. It's an innovation that combines luxury with responsibility and responds to the growing demand for sustainable concepts. Ampoule Refills also offer numerous advantages for everyday use. They are lightweight, shatterproof, and easy to handle. Whether traveling or refilling your favorite fragrance in everyday life, they offer a clean, practical solution. At the same time, the high quality of Ormaie's natural raw materials remains unchanged.

Ormaie soaps are made in Haute Provence, a region known for its long tradition of soapmaking. Each soap is formulated with botanical ingredients and enhanced with 100% natural fragrances. A set of three soaps features a soothing sandalwood scent, which creates a feeling of comfort with its warm, creamy fragrance. Their gentle texture and natural origin make them ideal for daily care without harsh skin irritation.

Ormaie's raw materials are selected according to the strictest criteria. Quality, purity, and origin are crucial. Every flower, every resin, every wood is carefully inspected before it enters the creative process. This uncompromising commitment distinguishes Ormaie from many traditional perfume houses, which often use synthetic components to increase intensity or longevity. Ormaie, on the other hand, proves that even pure natural ingredients can produce unparalleled depth, longevity, and diversity. A central aspect is sustainability. Ormaie works exclusively with partners who manage their resources responsibly. This applies to both cultivation and harvesting conditions. Whether roses, jasmine, woods, or spices – everything comes from sources that respect both the environment and people. Ormaie also consistently pays attention to the origin of the materials in its packaging. Glass, wood, and paper are sourced from environmentally conscious sources. The wooden caps for the bottles come from sustainably managed forests, and the paper is from certified production. The goal is to take responsibility at every step of production while meeting the brand's aesthetic standards.
