The famed summer rose of Isparta, Turkey gives its name to the 26th fragrance from the esteemed Pierre Guillaume.
Specially picked early in the morning when their alluring scent is strongest, the half open petals still glistening with dew the Isparta’s summer roses has an intense, rich and lightly spicy character.
Opening with delectable red fruits, Isparta starts with a subtle harmonious sweet accord.
The mysterious character of the rose is heightened by balmy and resinous facets, veiling the rose with clouds of incense and smoked agarwood.
With a deep velvety base of amber and musk, PG26 Isparta is an alluring and bewitching rose perfect for exploring the darker side of spring.
Pair this perfume with the indulgent Isparta hand and body wash infused with the same fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a rose for close quarters and low light, where its smoky sweetness can unfold without feeling loud. It suits a polished, self-possessed presence: someone who wants the softness of petals, but with a darker edge that lingers in the air after they’ve left the room.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where the rose, incense and oud can breathe without becoming heavy. Apply lightly at first; a few sprays are enough to let the fruity opening, resinous heart and velvety base develop gradually on skin, with a smoother, more intimate trail in the air.
Who it’s for
For those who like rose fragrances with depth, smoke and a touch of sensuality rather than a bright, airy floral profile. It will appeal to wearers drawn to resinous woods, incense, patchouli and plush, slightly spicy compositions with a romantic but darker mood.
The nose
Pierre Guillaume is the sole perfumer behind Parfumerie Générale and the numbered Pierre Guillaume collection, shaping each fragrance as a direct expression of his own taste rather than a house style by committee. His work is known for blending genres with a free, exploratory hand, moving between floral, woody, resinous and gourmand ideas without losing a clear authorial signature. Across the line, Guillaume treats each scent as a thematic stopover in an ongoing personal project, which gives his perfumes a distinctive sense of movement and independence. In Isparta, that approach suits the composition well: the rose is not presented as a simple floral portrait, but as a darker, more textured study of spice, smoke and balm.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s house is built on creative independence and a highly personal approach to composition. Rather than following a fixed signature formula, the brand moves fluidly across styles and materials, using the numbered collection to explore different olfactory ideas with autonomy and precision.
PG26 Isparta’s concept
PG26 Isparta takes its name from the famed summer rose of Isparta, Turkey, harvested early in the morning when the petals are still dewy and the scent is at its richest. The fragrance frames that rose with red fruits, incense and smoked agarwood, then deepens it with amber, musk and resinous warmth, giving the flower a more mysterious, shadowed character.
