L’Eau Guerrière water as a warrior. A transparent, fresh incense, an eau infused with dry wood. This could have been the scent of an ancient Oracle ritual: the fumes of burning incense, the aroma of laurel branches and sweet noble resins gently releasing their fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For a quiet afternoon when you want incense without the atmosphere of a darkened room. Green bitterness and dry wood suggest a laurel branch just singed at the tip: composed, slightly austere, with a resinous warmth that softens the impression.
How to wear
Its transparent, fresh-woody structure makes it a natural choice for mild spring weather and warmer days. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, leaving space for the green incense to unfold. Apply lightly in heat to preserve the contrast between freshness and resin rather than building up the woody side.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy incense but prefer clarity to dense smoke, and dry woods to syrupy amber. Its green, bitter-edged character will appeal to tastes that favour restrained, resinous fragrances with little emphasis on sweetness.
Release year
2008, numbered PG20 in 2009
The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught perfumer with a background in chemistry, known for unexpected material pairings and finely judged textures. His work spans the cacao-and-musk softness of Musc Maori and the spicy woody richness of Cozé. In L’Eau Guerrière, he explores a lighter register, giving incense a green, transparent framework rather than a dense resinous setting.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s house combines independent authorship with in-house production and an appetite for unusual olfactory combinations. Its numbered collection, formerly Parfumerie Générale, organizes fragrances around themes and variations rather than a simple release sequence. The emphasis is on contemporary, wearable compositions that express Guillaume’s personal creative world.
PG20 L’Eau Guerrière’s concept
L’Eau Guerrière imagines the smoke of a burning laurel branch during an oracle ceremony. The ritual is an inspiration, not a claimed historical reconstruction: green brightness, incense and dry woods translate the image into a transparent eau de toilette. Originally released in the Collection sur Invitation, it later joined the numbered collection as PG20.
Extra info
The name translates as “warrior water,” although the central inspiration is an oracle ritual rather than a battle. In the house’s numbered collection, 20 denotes the incense theme, shared with 20.1 Sorong.
