Pierre Guillaume Paris Black Collection Samples
Beyond perfumer Pierre Guillaume’s ability to turn “linear” into a positive perfume description, his Black Collection — originally named "Huitieme Art" after perfume historian Octavian Coifan’s declaration that perfume is the 8th Art— distinguishes itself in a few other ways.
First, his perfumes make use of a new “phyto-perfumery” technology in which natural ingredients (often exotic plants, roots, flowers, wood and fruit) get “olfactory photographs” taken so that their complexity of scent can be reproduced in extracts and then combined with synthetics to smell naturalistic.
The Black Collection also dispenses with the usual olfactory pyramid structure whereby many notes of varying evaporation rates combine to produce a perfume that progresses in stages. In this line, Guillaume wanted “to harmonize two or three olfactory spheres” and “to capture the innate nature of the plants expressed in these fragrances, their radiance, their soul.”
Please note that for now on Luckyscent, new releases under Pierre Guillaume's brand new Confidentiel Collection will also be listed under Pierre Guillaume Paris Black Collection.
