A poem about the sea, composed wave after wave...
Entre ciel et mer (‘Between sky and sea’) tells the story of the Etesian winds, the azure sky and flying over seascapes at high speed...
Icy, rising and powerful, the first breath feels as if it were shaped by the meltemi – the north wind that blows across the Aegean Sea, with notes of crushed, water-sprinkled leaves and the fruity nuances of lavender, pear and white thyme.
The natural sea water effect of the fragrance is created by the molecular distillation of algae from the Pacific, with iodine-like and animalic notes of white lichen and ambergris. The dry, almost mineral facets are balanced with cedar, moss and sandalwood from New Caledonia.
A surprisingly new interpretation of maritime fragrances.
Collection Croisière - Cruise Collection
With the Croisière Collection, Pierre Guillaume opens a new chapter and leaves behind monothematic approaches – be it oud, tuberose or leather – to focus, among other things, on the least represented and most maligned genre of alternative perfumery: aquatic fragrances.
As a ‘seafaring collection’, the line is naturally inspired by travel, but also expresses Pierre Guillaume's need to start afresh, to zoom out. The raw material is no longer the focus of the theme, but rather the opportunity to tell a story. More than ever, the fragrances of Parfumerie Générale concentrate on their expressiveness.
Far from simply stringing together salty-smelling molecules, the Croisière Collection explores the vastness of space, untamed wilderness and remote landscapes waiting to be discovered. It celebrates the sea, distant islands, the jungle and, above all, movement.
By choosing this theme, Pierre Guillaume invites us to take a fresh look at a fragrance family through the lens of independent perfumery. Aquatic scents become oriental, chypre fragrances become relaxed, and leather – dressed up with chrome – becomes a vehicle for freedom.
