Pierre Guillaume Paris Collection - 10 - Aomassaï

(100 ml Eau de Toilette)

The Inspiration:
Pierre Guillaume sought to compose a fragrance with a bitter, slightly scorched quality. He drew inspiration from a traditional African Voodoo ceremony, as practiced by the Maasai people. "A et O des Massai" functions more as a tribal scent than a conventional perfume.

The Distinctive Feature:
In creating PG10, Pierre treated every ingredient to evoke a charred, burnt character. "A et O des Massai" evokes the aromas of ancient wooden sculptures from the Ivory Coast, blended with gourmand notes and underscored by the intense heat of ritualistic bushfires.

Top notes: Caramel, roasted hazelnuts, spices (cinnamon, pink pepper)
Heart notes: Bitter orange, Tolu balsam (derived from the resin of the balsam tree), vetiver, frankincense, licorice
Base notes: Wenge wood, resins, dried herbs
