{"title":"Pierre Guillaume Paris Black Collection","description":"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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst, 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.” \n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease 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.\n","products":[{"product_id":"aqaysos-by-pierre-guillaume-paris-black-collection","title":"Aqaysos","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is the scent of crystalline wood? This concept, of the strange geometry that might exist somewhere between nature's most versatile material and one of it's most fascinatingly exact, is what inspired Pierre Guillaume to create Aqaysos, a scent which casts a fascinatingly illusive prism that alternates between spicy, fruity and woody notes. The result is an elusive, versatile and sneakily powerful fragrance that wears like a suave, modern, and refreshing take on a certain wildly popular fruit-inflected masculine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhich isn't to say Aqaysos is another dull Aventus knockoff. In fact, quite the opposite- while the juicy, explosively fresh lime and bergamot opening is sure to delight, it's cut with an aromatic dose of coriander, lending a metallic quality to it, at once mathematically precise and yet intriguingly otherworldly. A unique heart of little-used sansho berry, with its lemon-peppery spiciness, adds fiery depth to the sweet, juicy blackcurrant. And growing ever stronger as it dries, a robustly woodsy and musky base is given subtly bitter power with a dose of cocoa bean, which asserts itself in unexpected rhythms. Lovers of fresh, fruit-and-wood driven masculine scents will surely find a new go-to with Aqaysos.

Monsieur is a powerful, complex, and vibrant scent permeated with an organic sensuality.  It is both dry and green, mixing elements of grass, earth, crisp air currents, and damp stones.

This time, the Ugandan vanilla alone contains this sensory duality, Pierre has simply amplified each of its facets.
