Perfumer: Nathalie Feisthauer
Note from the creator: “My personal interpretation of the term “privilege” is that it is a privilege for me, to have water, nature, greenery, woods and the sea available to me. In other words, having nature around me is the ultimate privilege. PRIVILEGE has become my tribute to the natural elements!”
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Privilege suits the moment of returning indoors after time near the water: conversation resumes, but the impression of crushed greenery and mineral air remains. Its delicate floral heart and soft woody base suggest an understated presence rather than a dressed-up statement.
How to wear
Its green and marine facets make it a natural choice for spring and mild summer weather. Start with one or two sprays on exposed skin, leaving the opening room to unfold before adding more. In warmer conditions, keep application light to preserve the balance between vegetal brightness, delicate flowers and the woody-musky base.
Who it’s for
For wearers drawn to green aquatics with a mineral edge rather than overt sweetness. Privilege will appeal to those who enjoy lily-of-the-valley, vegetal notes and airy woods, and want freshness with more texture than a straightforward citrus fragrance.
Release year
2022
The nose
Nathalie Feisthauer is an independent perfumer whose work spans major fragrance houses and niche perfumery. Her creations include co-authorship of Hermès Eau des Merveilles and Etat Libre d’Orange’s Divin’Enfant, reflecting a range that embraces luminous woods, unexpected contrasts and richly textured compositions. For Privilege, she translated her personal appreciation of nature into green, marine and mineral facets.
Collaborators
DER DUFT founder Anselm Skogstad helped shape the concept through conversations with Nathalie Feisthauer about the personal meaning of privilege. Their exchange connected her gratitude for access to nature with his appreciation of life and the opportunity to create a fragrance together.
Der Duft’s story
DER DUFT—German for “The Scent”—puts the fragrance ahead of elaborate storytelling. The house gives perfumers creative freedom, avoids trend-led briefs and leaves room for wearers to form their own associations. Founder Anselm Skogstad sees it as a connection between perfumers and perfume lovers, with pleasure and surprise at its core.
Privilege’s concept
Privilege grew from a conversation about what deserves to be considered a luxury. For Nathalie Feisthauer, the answer was access to water, greenery, woods and the sea. The composition became her tribute to those natural elements, bringing vegetal sharpness, marine and mineral notes, delicate flowers and soft woods into a single landscape.
Extra info
The name has a distinct meaning for each collaborator: access to nature for Feisthauer, and life itself and the opportunity to work together for Skogstad. Beneath its green-marine character, the published composition includes carrot seed, rhubarb, iris, palo santo and ambrette.
