Tuberose is arguably the most divisive and polarising floral note due to its narcotic and carnal tones, here Pierre Guillaume pays tribute to its couture complexity.
The camphorous and medicinal opening of PG17 Tubéreuse Couture, is softened by shoots of green ripe jasmine and a sour tart accord created by rare South Asian citrus kalamansi.
PG17 Tubéreuse Couture soon develops in a creamy, fleshy and opulent tuberose bouquet. Ylang-ylang heightens and supports the buttery and lactonic (milky) tones of tuberose, sweetened by a base of sugar cane and benzoin.
A daring and head-turning scent, PG17 Tubéreuse Couture is a wonderfully dramatic interpretation of this flamboyant flower, in its pure, unadulterated state.
Definitely not for wallflowers.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and confident presence, when you want the room to register you before you speak. Its lush tuberose and sweet balsamic warmth suit an evening that feels charged and a little theatrical, with the scent leaving a creamy floral trail rather than a whisper.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its floral volume and sweet base can bloom without becoming heavy. Apply lightly at first, then add a second spray if you want more projection; on skin it turns creamy and fleshy, while in the air the green-citrus opening gives it a sharper, more luminous edge.
Who it’s for
For lovers of bold white florals, especially those who enjoy tuberose with green, camphorous and creamy facets rather than a simple soft bouquet. It will appeal to someone who likes sweet, opulent florals with presence, texture and a slightly daring, fashion-forward feel.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is the sole creator behind the house’s numbered fragrances, and his work is shaped by a chemist’s curiosity as much as a perfumer’s instinct. He is known for compositions that feel structured yet expressive, often using unusual accords and technical refinements to sharpen texture and diffusion. In PG17 Tubéreuse Couture, that approach suits tuberose perfectly: instead of smoothing the flower into softness, Guillaume frames its green, camphorous and creamy facets so the bloom feels vivid, tactile and almost sculpted. The result is a fragrance that reflects his signature balance of precision, contrast and wearability.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris is an independent French house built around creative freedom, in-house control and a numbered collection system that lets each fragrance explore a distinct idea. The style is contemporary and inventive, but always meant to remain wearable, with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, originality and a clear personal point of view.
PG17 Tubéreuse Couture’s concept
PG17 Tubéreuse Couture belongs to Pierre Guillaume’s numbered collection and is conceived as a study of tuberose’s many natural faces. The fragrance pushes the flower’s green, camphorous and solar facets before раскрыting into a creamy, opulent bouquet, turning a famously polarising note into a polished, couture-like statement.
Extra info
PG17 is part of Pierre Guillaume’s numbered fragrance system, where each formula explores a specific olfactory idea rather than a conventional line-up. Tubéreuse Couture is presented as a tribute to tuberose in its pure, unadulterated form, with five facets emphasized through contrasting accords.
