All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a close-fitting jacket worn with ease: composed, tactile and slightly severe, but never cold. It suits a setting where the room is quiet enough to notice detail, and where the wearer wants to project control through texture rather than volume.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its pepper, iris and vetiver can stay crisp without turning sharp. Apply lightly to the chest and neck for a clean, tailored aura; a few sprays are enough, as the scent is meant to read as polished and enveloping rather than loud.
Who it’s for
For those who like structured, dry-spicy compositions with a clean edge: iris lovers, vetiver fans and anyone drawn to modern leather-woody scents that feel tailored, refined and a little austere.
The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught French perfumer and chemist known for composing fragrances that balance technical precision with a strong narrative impulse. His style often plays with contrasts: polished woods, tobacco, spice, florals and unexpected twists that keep the scent moving on skin. He founded Parfumerie Générale as an independent creative platform for his own ideas, and Costume Liquide fits that approach well: a modern, structured composition where iris, pepper, violet leaf and vetiver are arranged with the clarity and tension that define much of his work.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris is an independent French niche house built around creative freedom, technical craft and a distinctly modern signature. Its perfumes are conceived as authored compositions: eclectic, wearable and often built around contrasts, with an emphasis on precision, evolution on skin and a strong sense of individuality.
PG14.2 Costume Liquide’s concept
Costume Liquide belongs to Pierre Guillaume’s numbered collection, a line shaped as a series of olfactory stopovers rather than fixed themes. The fragrance’s name suggests a second skin or tailored suit, and its composition supports that idea with a crisp, peppery iris accord, violet leaf freshness and a dry vetiver base.
