Noir Okoumé by Pierre Guillaume is a modern interpretation of raw, primitive ingredients: woody, balsamic, full and warm. Yet this perfume is also soft, powdery, and at the same time smoky.
This African theme we find in the woody, aromatic notes. This has inspired perfumer Pierre Guillaume before in Aomassaï – No. 10 of Pierre Guillaume Paris numbered collection.
Pierre Guillaume “I have always been fascinated by the futuristic beauty and plastic genius of some works of African sculptures. Mysterious and hypnotic, they seem to have been shaped by extraterrestrial hands. The encounter with a reliquary figurine Fang (Gabon) made me wanted to rediscover the African theme, ten years after Aomassaï…”
Orris, Myrrh, Sandalwood

Woody
Woody fragrances are full of character and indeed very woodsy. They can be warm, soothing and creamy, but also dry and spicy. Key ingredients are cedar wood, patchouli, sandalwood and/or vetiver. Oudh (agarwood), Palo Santo and guaiac wood have also joined the perfumer's palet, just like the fantastic synthetics such as Javanol or Iso-E-Super.
