A minimalist perfume with a huge accord of tough hard wearing leather, metallic undertones and a hot rubber background. Inspired by Harley Davidson motorbikes, desert routes and a devil-may-care attitude.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is for close quarters and dry heat: a jacket thrown over bare skin, the engine still warm, the air carrying dust and rubber. It projects a hard, self-possessed presence that feels more road-worn than polished, with a sharp edge that reads instantly.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its leather and mineral facets can stay crisp without becoming heavy. Apply sparingly, one to three sprays, to let the gasoline-like opening and dry base unfold gradually; it wears best when kept close to the skin, with enough diffusion to leave a smoky, metallic trail.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like leather fragrances with an industrial, unconventional twist rather than a smooth or classic treatment. It will appeal to those drawn to raw materials, mineral dryness, and scents that feel angular, rebellious and slightly abrasive.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is an independent French perfumer known for compact, idea-driven compositions that often bend genre expectations. He built his own house to keep full creative control, and his work is marked by a restless, modern style that treats perfume as a living construction rather than a fixed formula. Across his collections, Guillaume is drawn to movement, texture and contrast: saline against floral, mineral against warm, leather against light. That approach suits Métal Hurlant, where he pushes leather into a harder, more industrial register, using metallic and fuel-like facets to sharpen the composition rather than soften it.
Pierre Guillaume Cruise/Croisiere’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris stands for independent, contemporary perfumery with a strong authorial voice. The house favors inventive structures, portable compositions and a sense of motion, often building fragrances around travel, landscape and unexpected material contrasts while keeping production and creative decisions in-house.
Métal Hurlant’s concept
The Croisière project was conceived as a travel-driven collection, but not as a simple aquatic series: it was meant to open perfume toward wide spaces, faraway routes and changing terrain. Métal Hurlant fits that spirit through a rough, mechanical leather accord inspired by motorbikes, desert roads and a deliberately untamed attitude.
Extra info
The title Métal Hurlant evokes a loud, mechanical energy that matches the fragrance’s leather-and-metal character. Although it is associated with the Croisière universe, it does not appear among the named fragrances in the original 2015 quartet of the collection.
