Sandalwood enriched by cedarwood and enhanced by just-roasted hazelnut. Tender powdered heliotrope lightens for a nuanced sweetness that’s somewhat leatherey. While a blend of driftwood and sea salt styles this fragrance to delicious a cool pirate finish.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the kind of scent that feels most convincing at close range, where its nutty warmth and salty woodiness can unfold without becoming loud. It suits a confident, slightly untamed presence: polished enough for indoors, but with a dry, mineral edge that keeps it from feeling too smooth.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where the sandalwood and hazelnut can bloom without turning heavy. Apply lightly at first; the fragrance has enough texture to project softly, and a couple of sprays are usually enough to let the salty driftwood and leathery sweetness stay clear on skin.
Who it’s for
For those who like woody gourmands with a drier, more textured profile: creamy sandalwood, roasted nuts, a touch of salt and a faint leathery nuance. It will appeal to wearers who prefer sensuality with restraint rather than syrupy sweetness.
The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught French perfumer and chemist who founded his own independent house in 2005. He is known for composing with unusual freedom and for building fragrances that feel personal, textural and often a little off-centre, balancing wearability with a strong artistic point of view. His work often plays with contrasts: gourmand and mineral, polished and raw, intimate and expressive. As the creator of the numbered collection that includes Praliné de Santal, he brings that same signature tension here, shaping a sandalwood accord that is softened by nutty sweetness and sharpened by salt and driftwood.

PG18.1 Praliné de Santal’s concept
Praliné de Santal belongs to Pierre Guillaume’s numbered collection, conceived as a series of fragrance stopovers within the house’s broader creative universe. Its composition reads like a contrast study: roasted hazelnut and heliotrope warm the sandalwood, while driftwood and sea salt give the scent a drier, cooler finish.

PG18.1 belongs to Pierre Guillaume’s numbered collection, the line formerly known as Parfumerie Générale. The fragrance pairs a praline-like nut accord with sea salt and driftwood, giving the idea of a gourmand sandalwood a cooler, more maritime twist.
