A behind-the-scenes peek at the Brume Orpin trunks
Brume Orpin is a Fine Perfumery Maison committed to a sustainable, sensory form of luxury that combines olfactory creativity, eco-friendly chemistry, and French know-how.
To mark its launch, it asked FPM France to design some exceptional bespoke trunksthat showcase its fragrances and candles.
Brume Orpin – a magnetic young Maison
Founded by Tiphaine Cogez CousseauMaison Brume Orpin’s signature blend of aromatic excellence, environmental awareness, and poetic visuals represents the next generation of French Fine Perfumery.Every creation is designed as a tableau –a sensory story at the crossroads of nature and art.
Steered by its rare degree of rigor and its bold ecological awareness, the Maison’s fragrances are made of short-circuit, locally-sourced biodegradable ingredients, from Bulgarian rose to French wheat bran. Working with Symrise laboratories, Brume Orpin develops formulas with limited allergens and devoid of any controversial ingredients.
This approach even applies to everything that surrounds the product: the bottles are made of mass-tinted glass etched without any additives, the stoppers are single-material galalith, the inks are seaweed-based and biosourced, and the cases are expanded cork – all designed in France with partners specializing in niche crafts. The Maison stands out as an ode to sustainable, sensory luxury, holding firm to its values of preserving know-how, rigor, and emotion.
Where craftsmanship meets exacting standards
To celebrate its launch, Brume Orpin entrusted us with making two large-scale, exceptional trunks. These three-fold creations render the Maison’s universe into a sober, sensory and cutting-edge piece of craftsmanship.
“Every detail reflects the founding values of Brume Orpin: respect, authenticity, sustainable beauty. For this launch, I wanted a case that tells as much of a story as the fragrance it contains,” explained Tiphaine Cogez Cousseau.
The structure is made of French poplar plywood,which we hand-painted in our workshop near Paris. The choice of a deep green hue resonates deeply with Brume Orpin’s visual identity.
The trunk’s exterior is adorned with a precisely riveted hot-markedlogo plaque. Its golden hardware draws elegant and assertive lines. A discreetly-integrated folding handle adds a final flourish to the trunk’s careful aesthetic continuity.
Opening the trunk reveals a monogrammed pattern delicately printed onto a pulpboard framework. Hand-painted wooden archeselegantly embrace the space within, while subtle alcoves inlaid with finely grooved gold mirrors reflect light and magnify the fragrances and candles.
In addition to these exceptional fragrance trunks, FPM also designed prop trunks intended as a decorativebackground for the brand’s launch. Made of the same French poplar plywood,these items were hand-lacqueredby FPM France, matching the signature shades of Brume Orpin packaging.
Each piece was sourced and made in Francerespecting the Maison’s ethical, aesthetic and environmental commitments in partnership with FPM. The trunks were drawn up according to eco-design principles, using sustainable materials as part of a carbon footprint reduction approach in line with our targets. They are more than just containers – they are a manifesto for a contemporary form of Fine Perfumery,one that dares to combine creativity, top-level craftsmanship, and responsible innovation.
This collaboration reaffirms our commitment to supporting brands in creating bespoke objects, that convey both meaning and emotion, without making any compromises. And those who haven’t heard of Brume Orpin are invited to learn more about this superb Fine Perfumery Maison, where art, nature, and responsible beauty come together in a show of pure elegance.
