Behind the Scenes of Perfume Creation: The Intermediate Stage of Production

Creating a perfume is not limited to assembling raw materials. At Alexandre.J, each fragrance is born from a precise alchemy, but between maceration and the finished product lies an equally crucial step: intermediate production. This is where the fragrant juice takes shape, where the scent begins its journey toward the consumer, and where each bottle is transformed into an object of luxury.

Take Black Muscs, for example: after maceration, each bottle is carefully prepared before moving on to the cellophane wrapping stage. The team ensures that every gesture is flawless, from volume control to precise placement in the box. It is this combination of industrial rigor and artisanal craftsmanship that lends the fragrance its nobility. Similarly, Imperial Peacock, at the very beginning of this intermediate stage, is weighed, poured, and filled with exacting precision. Scales and beakers are not merely technical tools, they reflect human precision and the attention paid to every single drop.

But the art does not stop at the perfume itself. Packaging is a true extension of the olfactory creation. Each bottle, whether full-sized or a sample, is hand-packed, inserted, and protected. Small samples, just like larger formats, offer a refined introduction to the fragrance, conveying the same level of excellence and care devoted to every detail.

This series of photographs offers a rare glimpse into the intermediate production stage at Alexandre.J: a place where the human touch plays a role at every step, and where luxury is born from detail and the perfection of each gesture.
