Xavier Dufourcq - Chappaz is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery. He is the founder, artistic director, and perfumer of the brand Suigeneris Non Binary Essence, a UK - based brand with a unique approach.
Suigeneris Non Binary Essence takes a contemporary and dynamic stance in the essence world, transcending the traditional, often exclusionary and restrictive categorizations of fragrances as strictly feminine, masculine, or unisex. Macerated in the south of France, it combines the highest - quality natural raw materials with synthetic molecules, creating a distinct DNA for each fragrance, much like Morse code forming a unique message.
Xavier Dufourcq - Chappaz has crafted all three of the brand's perfumes, Suigeneris Non Binary Essence 10, 27, and 35, all launched in 2018. His work showcases a diverse range of accords. For instance, Suigeneris Non Binary Essence 35 is a woody chypre fragrance. Its top notes feature metallic notes, rain notes, and saffron, which then blend into middle notes of green leaves, orris, and cade oil, and finally settle into base notes of cashmere wood, oakmoss, patchouli, oak, and musk. It evokes an image of "a stroll along a hot concrete sidewalk... the intoxicating and captivating warm scent of asphalt and motors, embracing the sweet and freshly spicy light."
