Huitieme Art

Pierre Guillaume's revolutionary new Huitieme Art collection of fragrances which cross new boundaries in 21st century perfumery. Taking his concept from the proposition that perfumery is the 8th Art (joining literature, poetry, cinema, sculpture, painting, music and dance) and using his skills both as chemist and perfumer, Pierre now offers us his dazzling new suite of fragrances inspired by the natural world.

Since modern perfumery began in the 1880's, so many perfumery classics have owed their creation to chemical molecules and discoveries. Formulas for Chanel, Guerlain, Dior and Caron boasted original molecules sidetracked from their conventional chemical use and used in inspired overdose or application. Now, for the first time, new extraction techniques together with innovative olfactory recreation and photographic methods allow previously inaccessible plant, flower and fruit to feature in fragrance composition.

Huitieme Art uses this new art of capturing scents and essences as the starting point for its creations. Explore with us dazzling and unique ventures into original and sophisticated virgin territory, going far beyond previous olfactory limits.

Pierre has deliberately limited these fragrances to a minimum of notes, and broken away from the traditional structure of developing notes: close your eyes, let your imagination soar and let your emotions lead you where you will...
