Isparta by Pierre Guillaume is a warm, sensual and intriguing eau de parfum.
The province of Isparta in Turkey is famous for its rose oil, obtained from a variety called ‘Isparta Summer Roses’, which grows abundantly in terraced gardens and fields on the soft mountain slopes. The roses are picked early in the morning when they are half-open. Then the scent is at its strongest; intense, rich, slightly spicy.
Isparta eau de parfum is a woody rose, with a hint of burning resins, embraced by a velvety deep, seductive chord of red fruit, benzoin, calamus, and ambroxan, all resulting in a fragrance with a delightfully ‘dirty’ edge.

Creations from perfumer Pierre Guillaume all have a strong character. This classically schooled chemist is an independent perfumer who works from his studio in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The use of innovative ingredients shows that he has a solid foundation in chemistry and a hunger for creation. One of these innovations he uses is a process called photo-refining: the flattening of olfactory peaks via ultraviolet radiation. This technique gives his perfumes their special characteristics, for example the characteristic liveliness in 02 Cozé or the melancholy in 05 l'Eau de Circé.
Chypre
A classic chypre is characterized by top notes of citrus, often bergamot; a full-floral heart, like jasmine and rose; and mossy, woody notes in the base, such as patchouli, oak moss, and labdanum. For those who appreciate fragranced complexity and layered compositions, chypres are very exciting and worthwhile to explore!

When he was just 25 years old, Pierre Guillaume launched his first perfume called Cozé. Chandler Burr, renowned and respected perfume critic, described this fragrance as 'the coolest of new European fragrances from a young French chemist'. That was the beginning of his career and his own perfume house: Parfumerie Générale, which is now called Pierre Guillaume. Pierre Guillaume uses innovative processes to create fragrances. You can recognize his personal style in his perfumes, with high-quality scents that remain perceptible on the skin for a long time without overpowering.
