Pierre Guillaume Paris
Pierre Guillaume Paris begins with a scent from his childhood. Raised among scientists, he started collecting essential oils at an early age. At twenty-five, he captured the scent of his father’s cigar cellar in a bottle. Smoky tobacco, clove and nutmeg came together in 02 Coze, his first fragrance. He has worked independently ever since, creating each composition in his own ateliers in the Auvergne region. Smoky, spicy and layered, every fragrance unfolds gradually on the skin.

Buy Pierre Guillaume Paris at Skins
Pierre Guillaume Paris is an independent French perfume house, founded in 2005 by perfumer Pierre Guillaume. No investors or external manufacturers – everything is done in their own workshops, in the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park. From blending the formula to ageing, filtration and packaging: every step is carried out by their own team, under the supervision of Guillaume himself.
It is precisely this independence that makes the house so special. Pierre Guillaume sets his own pace, chooses his own themes and selects his own ingredients. The result: fragrances that do not conform to a trend, but to an idea.
Discover 04.1 Le Musc & La Peau by Pierre Guillaume Paris
04.1 Le Musc & La Peau is a fragrance that feels like a second skin. Seven different musk notes combine to form a soft, milky base – inspired by the classic Musc Maori, but without the chocolate layer. What remains is pure: warm, sensual and close to the skin.
Ylang-ylang and a hint of vanilla lend the composition softness, whilst tonka bean, amber and cedarwood provide depth and warmth. Wear 04.1 Le Musc & La Peau on its own, like a second skin beneath your clothes, or use it as a base over which to apply your usual perfume.
Pierre Guillaume Paris: independent craftsmanship from Auvergne
Pierre Guillaume approaches perfume as both a craft and a form of expression. His collection is structured around numbered themes: tobacco at number 02, musk at number 04, iris at number 14. The result is not a disjointed collection of fragrances, but a continuous narrative – each new composition is the next chapter in Guillaume’s story.
