L'Objet – Where design becomes fragrance
When you hold a bottle of L'Objet in your hand, you immediately sense that someone wanted more than mere beauty. Elad Yifrach, architect, designer, and aesthete, created L'Objet, a brand that unites craftsmanship, material, and fragrance into a common language. A language that speaks softly but resonates long after. From the finest porcelain, bronze, and glass, a universe has emerged in which every object—and every perfume—possesses a soul.
"The world doesn't need new products. It needs better products – with soul and purpose." – Elad Yifrach
This statement isn't a campaign slogan, it's a philosophy. It explains why L'Objet doesn't chase trends, but cultivates values. Every object, every candle, and every Eau de Parfum is created with the same intention: to make beauty tangible. L'Objet is design you can smell – and fragrance you can see.
L'Objet – Craftsmanship with a Mediterranean soul
In a world that celebrates speed, L'Objet stands for precision and tranquility. Yifrach works with select artisans who preserve traditional techniques and translate them into the present day. Whether porcelain from Limoges or bronze from Italy – every detail exudes dedication to material, form, and durability.
This approach led logically to the world of niche perfumes. Here, too, it's about texture, light, and materiality. L'Objet's fragrances are not decoration, but rather emotional architecture: they recreate the feeling of Mediterranean lightness without imitating it – sun, wind, stillness, movement.
The Fragrance Collection comprises five Eaux de Parfum – Bois Sauvage, Côté Maquis, Rose Noire, Oh Mon Dieu! and Kérylos – composed by masters who understand the dialogue between design and fragrance.
The L'Objet Collection – Five Narratives of Light and Matter
Each fragrance is like a chapter about Mediterranean life – clear lines, warm air, quiet depth.
Bois Sauvage is reminiscent of a walk through the woods after the rain. Bergamot, lavender, cypress, vanilla, and tobacco unfold an aromatic-oriental profile: sophisticated, warm, but never loud.
Côté Maquis takes you to the rocky coasts of Corsica. Labdanum, frankincense, and cashmere wood form a mineral-salty wood accord with a hint of cashmeran – earthy, calm, and meditative.
Rose Noire is the intellectual rose: roses, Ceylon tea, white pepper and allspice berry create a dry, floral-spicy composition; Iso E Super adds transparency and luminosity.
Oh Mon Dieu! takes place in a smoky Parisian salon in 1969. Cognac, cassis, lipstick, caramel and leather dance in an aura of incense and oakmoss – sensual, smoky, iconic.
And then there's Kérylos – the brand's manifesto. A perfume that doesn't make a fuss, but shines.
Kérylos L'Objet – Light, Wind and the Signature of Jean-Claude Ellena
Kérylos Eau de Parfum is the encounter of two masters of light: Elad Yifrach, the designer who shapes objects like poems, and Jean-Claude Ellena, the perfumer who shapes poems like air. Together they created a work that doesn't describe the Mediterranean way of life, but captures it.
“I wanted to capture the light, that joyful, sunny feeling – and put it in a bottle.” – Jean-Claude Ellena
Ellena is considered one of the greatest living perfumers—a poet who creates entire atmospheres with just a few notes. His compositions are minimalist and profound. Kérylos opens with a clear, bright citrus accord of yuzu, mandarin, and grapefruit—vibrant, almost transparent. A heart of green herbs and aquatic notes adds movement; habanolides and helvetolide® provide a silky texture. The base rests on white musk, sandalwood, and Orcanox—warm, velvety, and long-lasting.
The bottle – bell-shaped, made of heavy glass, in a vibrant azure blue – seems like an homage to the Mediterranean. The light dances within the glass, as if it wants to place the Greek sun in your hand. Kérylos is not a fragrance about the sea, but the sea in fragrance form – clear, still, eternal.
Jean-Claude Ellena – The Perfume Poet of Grasse
Born in 1947 in Grasse, the cradle of perfumery, Jean-Claude Ellena learned the language of essences before he could write. He began his career with Antoine Chiris, studied at the Givaudan Perfumery School, and later worked for Haarmann & Reimer (now Symrise). Early on, he developed his distinctive style: transparency instead of opulence, stillness instead of drama.
He is the creator of perfume icons such as First (Van Cleef & Arpels, 1976), Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert (Bulgari), Déclaration (Cartier), Angéliques sous la Pluie and Rose & Cuir (Frédéric Malle) - and of course the legendary Terre d'Hermès (Hermès, 2006).
From 2004 to 2015, Ellena was the exclusive in-house perfumer of Hermès Paris. Under his direction, Un Jardin sur le Nil, Voyage d'Hermès and the Hermessence collection were created – fragrances that taught that refinement lies in restraint.
"A fragrance should breathe. It must leave space so that the wearer can find themselves reflected in it."
With Kérylos, Ellena returns to his spiritual home: the Mediterranean. Here he shows that lightness is not a deficiency, but the highest form of depth.
Yann Vasnier and the sensual language of L'Objet
Besides Ellena, Yann Vasnier also shapes the fragrance world of L'Objet. The French perfumer, trained at ISIPCA and now Senior Perfumer at Givaudan, is known for works such as Tom Ford Santal Blush, Marc Jacobs Bang and Comme des Garçons Green.
For L'Objet, he composed fragrances including Bois Sauvage and Oh Mon Dieu! – scents that rely on texture rather than sheer volume. Vasnier thinks of perfume like fabric: surface, contact, intimacy. His signature is like fine velvet – perceptible, never intrusive.
The collaboration between Yifrach, Ellena and Vasnier reveals what makes L'Objet special: design that you can feel – and fragrance that creates space.
Body Care & Space – L'Objet's Complete Olfactory Concept
L'Objet conceives of fragrance not merely as perfume, but as a way of life. That's why the Apothecary collections share the same aesthetic: hand creams, lotions, soaps, and bath salts – exquisite raw materials, tactile, architecturally designed bottles. Available in Bois Sauvage, Rose Noire, and Côté Maquis, they accompany you from your skin to your home.
The home fragrance objects – porcelain candles, diffusers, room fragrances – also follow this line: clear shapes, natural materials, balance between vegetal warmth and mineral freshness.
Wearability & Performance – Luxury without exaggeration
All L'Objet Eaux de Parfum are unisex, skin-friendly and designed for long-lasting effects.
Kérylos lasts around 6–8 hours, Bois Sauvage exudes a creamy-warm depth, Côté Maquis is resinous-salty and meditative, Rose Noire remains floral-spicy, Oh Mon Dieu! is sensual and smoky.
Precise accord techniques and modern molecules (including Sclarene, Muscone, Cashmeran, Habanolide) allow for a subtle, natural development – not a perfume that carries you, but one that accompanies you.
