All about this fragrance

Vibe check

The music is still playing as the sun drops, and crushed mint and strawberry sweetness suggest a freshly mixed drink. Beneath that bright opening, woods and moss give the fragrance a more intimate register: playful at first encounter, with a darker warmth as the evening slows.

How to wear

The lime-and-mint opening makes this a natural choice for warm weather, while its woody, mossy base suits milder evenings too. Start with one or two sprays on skin, particularly in heat, to keep the sweet cocktail accord measured. Allow the opening to settle before adding more; the composition is designed to move toward warmer woods and moss.

Who it’s for

For those who enjoy fruity fragrances but want more than sugary sweetness. It suits a taste for unconventional contrasts: bright strawberry and aromatic mint over earthy woods, resin and moss. Especially appealing if traditional chypres feel too austere, yet straightforward cocktail scents feel too light.

The nose

Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught perfumer with a chemistry background, known for inventive accords and a tactile approach to scent. His work often brings unexpected materials into wearable compositions, as in the gourmand textures of Musc Maori and the spicy woods of Coze. In Mojito Chypre, he balances a deliberately playful strawberry cocktail accord with the darker architecture of a classical chypre.

Pierre Guillaume Cruise/Croisiere’s story

Pierre Guillaume Paris combines creative independence with production in its own French workshops. Its perfumes favor contemporary, exploratory compositions without sacrificing wearability. The Croisière collection extends that approach into imagined journeys, using places and atmospheres—not a single featured ingredient—as the organizing idea.

Mojito Chypre’s concept

Mojito Chypre began with a conversation about the scarcity of strawberry perfumes. Guillaume wanted to explore the fruit without a chewing-gum effect; a strawberry mojito enjoyed in Florence suggested a fresher context. He paired the cocktail accord with patchouli, vetiver, labdanum, vanilla and oakmoss, giving its exuberant sweetness a more substantial chypre foundation.

Extra info

An experimental, noncommercial version appeared at Pitti Fragranze in Florence in September 2014, before the 2015 release, alongside the cognac-inspired Liqueur Charnelle. The strawberry effect is constructed with perfumery materials; the official note description names strawberry aldehyde, not strawberry essential oil.
