CHAPITRE III - Damas
Chapitre III – Damas continues the Chapitre Collection Sorbier Parfums, an ever-evolving olfactory library in which every creation is born from the heart of a Franck Sorbier Haute Couture collection.
Presented during the 2026/2027 Winter Haute Couture show 'Le Parfum des Globe-Trotteuses',
Chapitre III - Damas becomes its olfactory continuation.
It translates the collection’s materials, memories and spirit of travel into the language of fragrance.
Damask is a fabric of transmission.
Its pattern is never revealed by colour alone, but through the constant dialogue between light and weave. Every reflection uncovers a different motif, as though the fabric’s memory were continually reborn beneath a new gaze.
Through the vision of couturier Franck Sorbier and the olfactory writing of perfumer Olivier Perault, this fabric leaves the world of textiles to become a fragrance designed to be worn upon the skin.
As the third volume of this evolving collection, Chapitre III - Damas extends the dialogue between Haute Couture and Haute Perfumery, where each edition preserves the emotional memory of a collection.
the signature
L'Étoffe de la mémoire / The Fabric of memory
« A fabric of memory and character, where a floral and spicy dialogue unfolds into a deep and sovereign trail. »
This sentence accompanies the fragrance.
It does not describe its composition;
it expresses its intention.
THE CREATIVE INTENTION
Some fabrics tell of an era.
Damask tells a story.
Present for centuries in the decorative arts as well as in the finest Haute Couture textiles, it moves through time without ever losing its evocative power. Its richness lies not in abundance but in the precision of its pattern, the depth of its weave and the way it preserves the memory of the gesture that gave it life.
Chapitre III - Damas draws inspiration from this timeless quality.
Flowers converse with spices.
Woods extend the resonance of resins.
Each material gradually recedes, allowing a more enduring emotion to emerge.
Like damask itself, this fragrance reveals its true character over time.
It does not seek to captivate immediately.
It settles.
It accompanies.
It endures.
Chapitre III - Damas extends an invitation to travel,
where every material becomes the witness of an encounter, a culture and a shared memory.

Every Sorbier Parfums creation is composed exclusively from naturally derived raw materials, selected for their quality, nobility and expressive richness.
Developed in collaboration with Robertet, the composition of Chapitre III - Damas brings flowers, spices, balsams and resins into dialogue, creating a fragrance in which every material naturally finds its place in the service of a lasting emotion.
Naturality is not merely the origin.
It is the very language of this creation.
THE MAKING
Like every Chapitre, Chapitre III - Damas was born from the meeting of two creative sensibilities.
The vision of Frank Sorbier, shaped by Haute Couture and the history of exceptional materials.
The olfactory writing of Olivier Perault, Senior Perfumer at Robertet, whose mastery of natural ingredients transforms that vision with remarkable precision.
Every stage of the creation—from formulation to production—is entrusted to carefully selected French partners renowned for the excellence of their craftsmanship, ensuring that every edition remains faithful to the Maison’s artistic intention.
THE EDITION
The bottle naturally reveals the colour of the fragrance extract, while its silhouette affirms the identity of each edition.
The Edition drawer case, conceived as a protective keepsake, draws inspiration from the world of treasured libraries and rare books.
Together they form an edition in which the vessel serves the creation without ever distracting from its original intention, preserving and revealing the fragrance alike.

Each Chapitre is born from a runway presentation, a theme and a creative vision. It preserves their emotional memory through the language of fragrance, enriching this editorial library season after season, where Haute Couture naturally extends into Haute Perfumery.
