Description

Pierre Guillaume A une Madone Eau de Parfum 100 ml is a unisex woody perfume. ''A Baudelairean Vanilla. A muse of contradictions. Grown on the volcanic hills of Uganda, with two rainy seasons and two harvests, in January and especially in July, Ugandan vanilla is a Planifolia, large and flat, with an opaque color that develops lively facets, notes of leather, fruity cocoa and peaty single malt. A tomboy! The discovery of this contradictory vanilla immediately brought me back to the research for the creation of "Louanges Profanes" (2009). The work of Charles Baudelaire illustrated to me how, in the most beautiful way, human passion can borrow the sacred vocabulary to the point of blasphemy. ''A une Madone'' (a madonna), an excerpt from Les Fleurs du Mal, depicts a ritual in which the Baudelairean woman is at once a shining divinity and a purely carnal being, inflaming her senses with a destructive desire for possession. With "A une Madone" I try to reproduce the contradictory architecture of the Louanges Profanes, in which the innocent purity of Neroli confronted the lasciviousness of Benzoin. This time, since Uganda Vanilla alone contains this sensorial duality, I simply amplified each of its facets. Cardamom and Sandalwood naturally emphasize the greedy and sensual curves of the vanilla pods, while Castoreum, Civet, Myrrh, Styrax, Gaiac and Gurjum multiply their magnetism tenfold.'' - Pierre Guillaume.
