PG19.1 Neroli ad Astra is a musky fresh formula with a delicate green woody character.
It starts with a soft clean mix of mandarin, neroli and geranium and gradually descends to dry powdery spiciness of Haiti vetiver and an exotic note of desert agave flower.
This has been an absolute hit with ladies for a few years now.
Pair this perfume with the indulgent Neroli ad Astra hand and body wash infused with the same fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A freshly pressed cotton shirt, sleeves rolled back, and an afternoon spent in close conversation: this is the register of Néroli ad Astra. Its green citrus-floral opening feels alert rather than brisk, while the musky, dry woody finish gives that lightness a quietly composed edge.
How to wear
Its transparent green-floral profile suits spring and mild summer weather. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms to keep the musky impression restrained. Let the mandarin and neroli opening settle before adding more; the dry vetiver and powdery spice give the softer finish definition.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy neroli without a dense, honeyed orange-blossom treatment. It favours transparent florals, green geranium, soft musk and dry woods, with an agave-flower accent for anyone seeking something less conventional than a straightforward citrus cologne.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught French perfumer with a background in chemistry, known for combining unusual accords with supple, wearable textures. His work spans the dark, spicy warmth of Cozé and the tea-and-musk intimacy of L’Eau de Circé. In Néroli ad Astra, he revisits his own orange-blossom theme, exchanging balsamic richness for a more transparent, green and musky expression.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume approaches perfumery as an independent laboratory of ideas, balancing technical experimentation with tactile, wearable compositions. The house’s numbered fragrances explore recurring olfactory themes rather than a fixed signature. Its original name, Parfumerie Générale, combines Guillaume’s initials with an industrial tone that reflects his chemistry background.
PG19.1 Neroli ad Astra’s concept
Néroli ad Astra reinterprets the neroli theme of 19 Louanges Profanes, released nine years earlier. Where its predecessor paired Tunisian neroli with balsamic benzoin, this composition turns toward airy musk and green florals. Its imagined celestial garden brings Moroccan neroli together with a Mexican agave-flower accord.
Extra info
The number 19.1 identifies this fragrance as a new interpretation of the house’s neroli theme, No. 19. Its Latin name, “ad astra,” means “towards the stars.” The agave-flower note is described as an accord, not as a confirmed botanical extract.
