Indochine by Pierre Guillaume Paris is a rich woody amber fragrance, spiked with spices and resins.
The central hero in the composition is benzoin Siam, a natural resin of great olfactory richness which is rarely used as a central theme in perfumery. The golden warmth with honey-like and resinous tones is beautiful; Pierre has recreated every facet of the benzoin balsam with great precision.
Complimented with rare ingredients such as Kampot Pepper, Burmese Tanaka or Laos honey, Pierre Guillaume succeeded to treat us with this smooth and comfortable eau de toilette.
Honey, Benzoin, Vanilla, Incense, Cardamom, Pepper
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.
Woody amber
The best of woody scents combined with the warmth of the oriental scent family. Here flowers do not play a leading role, but wood notes dominate. Take sandalwood accompanied by patchouli for an earthly character.

When he was just 25 years old, Pierre Guillaume launched his first perfume called Cozé.

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.
