French niche line Pierre Guillaume has introduced 17.1 Dilshad, a new tuberose fragrance. Dilshad is the second fragrance in the series that started with 17 Tubéreuse Couture.
THE INSPIRATION Tubéreuse Couture 17: a killer in majesty. Pierre GUILLAUME’s first approach can be seen as an anatomical study of the flower: a surgical dissection of its fundamental olfactory facets, whose formula has no other aim than to tell the story of and glorify tuberose from the top to the base notes. Tuberose is the star and sole protagonist of a tailor-made scenario. In this new opus, the tuberose is put at the service of a story and shares the stage with a young leading lady…
THE FRAGRANCE A pistachio and tuberose accord. The complexity of tuberose and its voluptuous strangeness make it a difficult beauty to marry. When macho accords of animalised leathers don’t try to silence it, we surround it with stooges. Jasmine and orange blossom often play “diplomatic supporting roles”. It’s in pistachio that Pierre GUILLAUME has found an alter ego who can match the floral Diva blow for blow. The bitterness and green notes that naturally resonate within them create the link cultivated by the perfumer. The tuberose flowers seem to infuse a bath of musk and almond milk, a delicate evocation of the enfleurage technique.
THE NAME DILSHAD means “The one who brings happiness” in Persian, a reference to the Iranian pistachio.
Additional notes include opopanax.
Pierre Guillaume Dilshad is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
