One of the best rose oils in the world is obtained from the “summer roses” grown in the gardens and hillside slopes of the Turkish province of Isparta… Hence the oriental inspiration of this floral chypre. Of course, Isparta being composed by Pierre Guillaume, a man who’s never shied away from powerful notes, this Turkish delight is robust enough to chew on. Tinted purple by juicy, jammy berries – a natural facet of the flower – his rose petals are embedded in a rich bed of sticky resins. The sweetness of vanilla and cinnamon-tinged Peru balsam and benzoin is balanced by the darker, woody hues of incense, patchouli and agarwood. Amber and musk conjure the velvety softness of the blossom. Are those thorns or claws? This sexy, swaggering beast of a rose will keep you guessing.

PIERRE GUILLAUME
Created by chemist-turned-perfumer Pierre Guillaume, Parfumerie Generale (a play on his initials) boasts one of the most exciting perfume collections in many, many years. Unusual combinations and an unabashed, pure joy in the creation of fragrances that aren’t overly “intellectual” or too weird to wear (while still offering something utterly unique) are hallmarks of this amazing line.
The bold and inventive Pierre Guillaume style is further enhanced in each Parfumerie Generale creation by technical prowess inspired by his background in fine chemistry: a captive ingredient, or one that is totally new, or a unique production process specific to each fragrance. By exploring new process such as “photo-affinage” (photo-refining or smoothing olfactory peaks by ultraviolet radiation), his creations are imprinted with a ‘vibrant’ or ‘melancolic’ feel.
Full of personality and highly distinctive, every single one of the perfumes in this line bears its own strong character; there’s no fluffy, forgettable ‘filler’ perfumes here. Many of the dark fragrances are set off by something sweet; the lighter fragrances have a dash of wood or tea some other anchoring scent…always unexpected, and flat-out exciting. We know you’ll agree.
