Atelier des Ors

Gold is both material and symbol. For us, it encapsulates an approach akin to alchemy: that of starting from the evidence of a sublime and fascinating material, gold, and from an exceptional and meticulous know-how to transform and transmute it into a precious imagination. Matter and know-how are merely the starting point for a poetic look at the world, a prism through which the imagination is invited and summoned, a bridge to another reality that everyone is free to create.

Plural, rich in history and values such as universality, transmission, respect and openness to the world, Atelier Des Ors is obviously shaped by the singular personality of its founder.

Our materials and the exceptional know-how behind them are nothing more than vectors towards a multiple elsewhere that everyone can imagine.

For Atelier Des Ors, gold represents a quest for the absolute—an eternal pursuit of beauty, excellence, and emotion. For founder Jean-Philippe Clermont, the union of perfume and gold was an obvious one: perfume melting into the skin like a sensual veil and gold as a jewel that ones wear.

The connexion was also natural, with both sharing a profound connection to the divine. Symbol of fascination across civilizations, gold was used to honor deities and embody the sacred. Similarly, perfume, born from ancient rituals, was once a bridge between earth and the divine, its fragrant smoke—‘per fumum’—carrying prayers to the heavens.

Said to be born from the heart of the stars, gold is a celestial gift: a fragment of eternity woven into the fabric of existence. Like stardust, the 24 carat gold flakes in our fragrances carries the mystery of creation and brings an eternal elegance to each creation for a timeless experience.

For us, gold is also that precious liquid: perfume, and the exceptional materials that go into it. A mysterious liquid, it is the gold of emotions, appealing to the power of olfactory memory. Its evocative power is infinite…

And for an even more exclusive experience, our master gilders magnify our creations and enhance their artistic dimension. The meticulous work of these craftsmen turns our bottles into precious jewels…

This philosophy resonates deeply with our creations, where raw materials are meticulously refined into fragrances that transcend time and evoke emotion.
