Pierre Guillaume: perfumery as a laboratory
Portrait of an independent creator
Pierre Guillaume is one of the great names of French niche perfumery. Trained in chemistry, he approaches composition as experimentation: rare materials, unexpected accords, carefully worked textures. A prolific creator and founder of his own house, he has established a style that is both cerebral and sensual, in which every fragrance tells a story of materials.
Pierre Guillaume's creations at Soleil d'Or
Soleil d'Or presents Esvedra, a woody aromatic composition he signed for LABORATORIO OLFATTIVO, in which his luminous interpretation of woods unfolds in full.
A woody, aromatic signature
His writing favours woody and aromatic accords, built around materials such as cedar and vetiver, for a clean, vibrant result.
Who should wear Pierre Guillaume's fragrances, and when?
His woody compositions, bright and clear, suit those looking for a fragrance with character, wearable in any season. Those curious about this auteur perfumery will also appreciate Bertrand Duchaufour and Luca Maffei.
