Pierre Guillaume Paris Black Collection (Fragrance Decant Sample Selection)

Brand Overview
Pierre Guillaume Paris Black Collection is a sub-line of the French niche perfume brand Pierre Guillaume Paris, founded by perfumer Pierre Guillaume. Launched as part of the brand's experimental series, the Black Collection focuses on darker, more intense, and nocturnal compositions, targeting the niche market.
History
Pierre Guillaume Paris was established in 2002 by Pierre Guillaume, a chemist-turned-perfumer. The Black Collection emerged as a thematic extension, featuring bolder, edgier fragrances that contrast with the brand's main line. Notable releases include Cozé Noir and other limited or discontinued pieces, emphasizing depth and contrast.
Philosophy & Characteristics
The Black Collection is characterized by intense, shadowy, and sensual profiles, often using dark woods, resins, and animalic notes. It explores the "noir" side of perfumery—mysterious, nocturnal, and provocative—while maintaining Pierre Guillaume's signature precision and balance.
Notable Fragrances
Cozé Noir: A dark, woody-oriental with coffee, patchouli, and incense, known for its smoky, addictive depth.
Other Black Collection pieces (e.g., discontinued or limited): Often feature intense contrasts like leather, oud, and bitter notes.

Unique Aspects
Bottles follow the brand's minimalist, numbered style (e.g., PG 02, PG 19) in black-tinted glass, symbolizing the "noir" theme. The collection is highly collectible among niche enthusiasts for its bold experimentation and limited availability.
