A minimalist perfume with a huge accord of tough hard wearing leather, metallic undertones and a hot rubber background. Inspired by Harley Davidson motorbikes, desert routes and a devil-may-care attitude.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The register is off-duty and slightly confrontational: a leather jacket still warm from the road, carried into a quiet room. Gasoline and metallic accents retain the suggestion of machinery, while the leather gives that restless energy a more intimate, tactile presence.
How to wear
Try it first in mild or cool weather, when the leather and hot-rubber character can feel less insistent. Start with one or two sprays on skin and let the metallic opening settle before adding more. In warmer conditions, apply lightly to keep the industrial accents from dominating.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to abstract leather, mineral textures and industrial accords rather than polished suede or conventional freshness. Its gasoline and hot-rubber facets suit a taste for deliberately unconventional perfumery, with floral and patchouli nuances providing contrast rather than turning it into a familiar floral scent.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is an independent French perfumer whose work combines technical experimentation with tactile, wearable compositions. Known for fragrances such as Cozé and Musc Maori, he often explores unexpected contrasts between familiar materials. For Métal Hurlant, he set patchouli, jasmine and clary sage against one another to suggest metal and fresh paint, building an abstract leather around Suederal and Corinal.
Pierre Guillaume Cruise/Croisiere’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris places independence and creative freedom at the center of its perfumery, favoring inventive compositions that remain wearable rather than merely conceptual. The Croisière collection explores travel through movement and changing landscapes, extending beyond marine imagery to the heat and machinery of the open road.
Métal Hurlant’s concept
Métal Hurlant translates an imagined Harley journey along Route 66 into perfume: hot Arizona air, leather upholstery, chrome, tires and gasoline. Guillaume’s brief was to make a conceptual leather that could still be worn comfortably. Created in response to a request from the house’s Russian distributor, it brings an industrial edge to Croisière’s broader theme of movement.
Extra info
The house translates Métal Hurlant as “Howling Metal.” It was the sixth fragrance in Collection Croisière, taking a collection associated with travel onto the American highway. The Harley and Ray-Ban references belong to its fictional biker narrative, not a documented brand partnership.
