Peau d'Ambre 28 by Pierre Guillaume Paris is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre Guillaume. The fragrance features Incense, Amber, Benzoin, Balsam Fir, Opoponax and Leather. "At the beginning of the 6th century BCE, the city of Corinth began its domination of the perfume trade in the ancient world. Ideally placed between the East and the West, Corinthian perfumers exported their perfumed oils in stone vases called alabasters or aryballs. Perfumes and resins traveled in leather gourds aboard small boats that ran along the shores of the Gulf of Corinth.Imagine for a moment to observe, from the pine forest or the maquis at sunset, the ballet of ships laden with scented oil vases and fragrant gums, their leather bottles struggling to contain the scent of resins and balms of ancient potions. Incense, Fir balsam, Opoponax and Benzoin form the resinous quadrige leading amber and leather to the mineral banks of a Mediterranean twilight." - a note from the brand.
Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance

Incense
Incense, a blend of resins, woods, and gums burned for their aromatic smoke, carries an aroma that is at once earthy and ethereal. Its origins trace back to religious ceremonies and spiritual practices, where its smoky, warm scent was believed to bridge earthly and divine realms.

Amber
Amber is an olfactory illusion, conjured from labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, and other resins to evoke the sun-soaked warmth of the Mediterranean coast. Its scent is both earthy and sweet, with a powdery undertone that mimics the richness of ancient incense.

Benzoin
Resin from the Styrax tree, benzoin exudes a rich, sweet aroma with hints of vanilla and incense. Originating from regions like Indonesia and India, it is prized for its complex character that melds earthy and spicy facets into a comforting embrace.

Pierre Guillaume grew up in a family of chemists, collecting essential oils and fragrant materials from an early age. At 25, he set out to recreate the smell of his father's cigar cellar, producing '02 Cozé,' a spicy-tobacco accord that drew attention across the perfume blogosphere. In 2010 he founded Pierre Guillaume Diffusion, complete with an in-house production studio and raw-material cellar, and Pierre Guillaume Paris now operates as an independent, family-owned House of Composition sold in nearly 390 points of sale across 26 countries.
