Matière Première Metal Lavender is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Aurélien Guichard. Metal Lavender settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cashmeran. Matière Première's Metal Lavender carries a Statement verdict, a musky-led wear.

Prepare for a proper debate: Metal Lavender is Matière Première's most divisive scent yet. Fans laud its clean, modern take on lavender; detractors decry it as an ambrocenide 'chemical weapon' with fleeting lavender. You'll either love its persistent musky-synthetic drydown or find it utterly unbearable.

Its long-lasting, robust musky-amber base means it's generally too potent for office wear, although some find it clean enough. The contemporary, clean scent profile makes it suitable for casual wear and dates, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

About

Metal Lavender opens with a sharp, almost electric burst of fresh lavender, quickly moving away from traditional barbershop territory. This initial freshness soon gives way to a dominant, clean musky-powdery heart, underpinned by the smooth, woody depth of cashmeran. A subtle, cool metallic edge weaves through, adding a contemporary, abstract quality before settling into a persistent, airy musky base that lingers on the skin.
