GRAVITAS CAPITALE BY PREMIÈRE PEAU

Gravitas Capitale, composed by Grégoire Balleydier, is built with a clear sense of precision, shaped by tension, contrast, and a modern edge. As a rising talent at Firmenich, his approach to surreal botanicals brings a distinctive and recognisable signature to the composition. It opens with a sharp, almost metallic citrus note of Buddha’s Hand, quickly contrasted by a green, stripped-back tuberose that feels deliberately austere. The heart avoids any softness, introducing the crisp bite of Japanese shishito pepper. In the base, an urban asphalt accord creates a rigid, architectural structure that feels linear and uncompromising.

OLFACTORY PYRAMID

“THIS NOTE HOLDS PLACES THAT LIVE INSIDE ME: THE INDIAN WORLD, SO PROFOUNDLY MOVING, THROUGH TUBEROSE, AND THE YEARS I SPENT IN NEW YORK, CUT THROUGH BY AN ASPHALT NOTE THAT FEELS FURIOUSLY CONTEMPORARY.”

– Grégoire Balleydier, Perfumer

THE STORY BEHIND THE SCENT

Presence without noise. Gravitas Capitale is an olfactory architecture for those who wear precision like armour. No softness, no seduction; stillness, shadow, and a pulse of control. Balleydier built the scent of power in its quietest form, refined to a stance.
