The inspiration
Ten years after creating L'Eau Guerriere, an incense-based fragrance, Pierre Guillaume is once again on the path to this wonderful ingredient. This time, using as a starting point an extraordinary material, inspired by the fumes of burning Indonesian oud flakes: Kyara wood.
The scent
Of all the raw materials, incense is undoubtedly, due to its history and the religious symbols associated with it, the ingredient that most fascinates the perfumer. Its woody, mineral and slightly spicy smell brings a mystical dimension, a sacred aspect to any composition. It was considered in antiquity as more precious than gold and the incense route from the Arab kingdoms to the gates of Indonesia has participated in the fortune of entire civilizations.
The name
Its sillage constitutes a talisman, a powerful and brilliant olfactory armor…
