The soul of the place
Resulting from tailor-made collaborations, the furniture designed by Léa Zeroil and Casaetna’s graphic identity extend the changing aura of the Opale Noire. Every detail awakens the senses, including the exclusive fragrance created by Paul Guerlain, a blend of mystery and sensuality, which adorns the place with an invisible and memorable trace. The Opale Noire reveals itself as a secret jewel in the heart of Paris, a space of passage and contemplation where the depth of black enhances the light.
Thomas Fournier
"Designing L’Opale Noire was for me more than just a project: a sincere and inspiring collaboration with its owners, giving full meaning to my first hotel signature. A beautiful story of creation and encounters, resulting in a setting where, like the precious stone it is named after, subtle contrasts, deep materials, and shifting reflections reveal an intimate and mysterious light."
Léa Zeroil
"The decor was the starting point of my creations.
Imagining this custom-made furniture, crafted by French artisans, was a true pleasure and a beautiful adventure of encounters, where every detail was designed to harmonize with the space and enhance the unique soul of L'Opale Noire."
Apolline Risser and Tiffanie Sibille
"The identity of the hotel is shaped through this mysterious but precious stone, the idea of unique, ever-changing, shimmering nights. The Opale Noire is a Paris frozen on the canvases of the Musée d'Orsay, shining brightly in the streets leading to the Seine, these passing memories kept within as treasures."
Isabelle Noc
“L'Opale Noire is an inspiring, almost sacred place, where each sense finds its light in a delicate alchemy. I had the privilege of accompanying this creation with a presence combining concrete accuracy and deep intuition, laying down my sixth sense in echo to the six-pointed star that unites this family. The deep and vibrant soul of the place is revealed thanks to passionate people, where know-how and savoir-vivre harmonize in unison.”
Paul Guerlain
“Opale Noire is not a place like any other, it is one of those places whose soul transports you, for a night or for life. In creating this perfume, I sought to shape, to cut this jewel to keep only the essence. The intoxicating juniper berry blends with eclectic black pepper while swirls of incense flirt with irresistible patchouli, for a night or for life. If perfume is the most intense form of memory, I hope that L'Opale Noire will leave an indelible mark in the memory of each of its travelers.”
