Why we stand behind it
Obsidian is a warm, amber-woody extrait de parfum designed for grounding, clarity, and quiet strength, blending bright aldehydes, pink pepper, and elemi with layers of incense, myrrh, leather, and rich woods for a deep, evolving scent experience. Created by master perfumer Camille Chemardin, the fragrance draws inspiration from volcanic glass — both a mirror and a shield — capturing a balance of light, shadow, and inner resilience. It opens with a crisp, almost electric brightness before softening into a resinous, meditative heart and settling into a smooth, woody base that lingers close to the skin with understated intensity.
We stand behind Obsidian for its high concentration as an extrait de parfum — offering a more intimate, layered wear — and its carefully composed structure that unfolds gradually over time, revealing depth and nuance with each moment. Suitable for both day and evening, it is especially compelling when seeking focus, grounding, or a sense of calm presence.
Each extrait de parfum is crafted from meticulously selected raw materials, including distinctive, sustainably sourced essential oils and natural extracts, elevated by safe, high-quality synthetics that bring depth and nuance to every composition. The result is a fragrance with layers — evolving, shifting, and staying with you. Every bottle is hand-blown, and each cap is made from upcycled rice husk — a tactile reminder that sustainability and luxury can, and should, coexist.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
On clean skin, spray fragrance once or twice on desired areas. Do not rub the fragrance on the skin, as this will alter how the fragrance develops.
Pro-tip
For a more dimensional scent experience, layer Obsidian over well-moisturized skin or an unscented body oil — this helps the fragrance adhere and unfold more slowly throughout the day.
Layer Obsidian with Pyrite to bring light into the depth — creating a balanced scent that feels both radiant and grounded.
Layer Obsidian with Turmali for a softer, more intimate expression — where warmth meets openness and the scent settles close to the skin.

Osmé creates extrait de parfums of rare depth and lasting power, treating scent as a space of transformation. Conceived around an elemental stone and developed in Paris with a master perfumer, each fragrance reveals an intimate world on the skin- at once grounding and radiant, instinctive and expressive. The compositions move through memory, mood, and presence, turning fragrance into something deeply felt rather than simply worn. Every detail — from hand-blown glass to caps cast from upcycled rice husk - is an extension of this philosophy: that true luxury lives in intention, not excess. Driven by a quest for timelessness, Osmé imagines fragrance as a daily ritual of return — to beauty, to self, to presence.
