for her
Luminous minimalism: a combination of sweet scent of ripe figs and sycamore wood. The sweet aspect is further highlighted by white peach and the woody by tuberose and musks. The fragrance title is a reference to the Villa Kérylos at Côte d’Azur. It stands on a cliff surrounded by the sea on one side and a fragrant garden on the other.

The Sniff on PG16: "Green, minimalist, and enlivening, PG16 evokes a Greek cliffside garden with fuzzy fruit adorning gnarly old trees."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon beneath fruit trees, with green shade tempering the warmth. The fig and peach suggest ripeness without dessert-like richness, while sycamore keeps the mood composed—a discreet presence for conversation at close quarters.
How to wear
Its green fruit and restrained woods suit spring and mild summer weather. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, allowing the peach, tuberose and musk to soften the leafy opening on skin. In stronger heat, apply lightly to keep the fruit sweetness in balance.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy green fig fragrances with gentle fruit sweetness and a spare woody structure. It will appeal to tastes that favour luminous, musky florals over heady bouquets, and a garden-like freshness rather than sharp citrus.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a French perfumer whose background in chemistry informs an inventive approach to texture and unexpected ingredient pairings. His work ranges from the spicy, tobacco-toned Cozé to the chocolate-and-musk interplay of Musc Maori. In Jardins de Kérylos, that experimental sensibility takes a restrained form: green fig and sycamore wood, softened by white peach, tuberose and musk.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s independent house brings chemistry and poetry together through inventive, wearable compositions. Production in its own French workshops gives the brand close control over its perfumes, while the Numbered Collection explores distinct olfactory themes rather than a single house signature.
PG16 Jardins de Kérylos’s concept
Jardins de Kérylos takes its name from Villa Kérylos and its gardens in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. Its composition translates that setting into a luminous, shaded garden: fresh fig and sycamore wood provide the green structure, while white peach, tuberose and musk soften the edges. The emphasis is on restraint and a natural impression, rather than lush Mediterranean opulence.
Extra info
The number 16 identifies the house’s fig theme. Its companion, 16.1 Bois Naufragé, approaches fig-tree wood through salt, mineral and driftwood imagery, offering a contrasting interpretation of the same theme.
