PG5.1 Suede Osmanthe is a novel leather. The perfumer mixes some classic leather notes with modern complex synthetic aroma-compounds which smell fantasy-like, familiar yet new. The black tea absolute is mixed with the Suederal molecule, aldehydes and cashmeran and together they create an illusion of the smoky musky osmanthus flower aroma.
The Sniff on PG's new 5.1 Suede Osmanthe:
"Imagine for a moment that you are four or five years old. Your mother has dropped her faithful suede handbag on the kitchen table and she tells you that there are some sweets inside that she brought home for you. You go over to investigate. As you pull the sides of the bag open a wave of scent escapes."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
There is something private and familiar about its apricot sweetness against suede: the scent of a well-used bag opened to reveal a small treat inside. It suits an unhurried afternoon in close company, with black tea lending a dry counterpoint that keeps the mood from becoming sugary.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the contrast between fruity apricot and dry tea-suede feels especially fitting. Begin with one or two sprays on skin beneath light clothing for a restrained presence; in warmer conditions, apply lightly so the sweeter and musky facets do not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to supple leather rather than dark, forceful leather accords, and to fruit used as texture rather than overt sweetness. Its reconstructed osmanthus character will appeal to wearers who enjoy unusual florals, tea notes and the interplay of familiar materials in unfamiliar combinations.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught perfumer with a background in chemistry, known for combining technical experimentation with immediately recognisable textures. His work ranges from the spicy richness of Cozé to the gourmand softness of Musc Maori. In Suede Osmanthe, that approach becomes a reconstructed floral impression: apricot, tea and modern leather materials suggest osmanthus without relying on the flower as the principal ingredient.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s independent, family-owned house combines scientific technique with poetic expression. Guillaume composes its fragrances and oversees development and production in Auvergne, favouring creative autonomy and unexpected combinations over a fixed house signature.
PG5.1 Suede Osmanthe’s concept
Created for the Collection Rework, Suede Osmanthe revisits the osmanthus theme of 05 L’Eau de Circé. Where the earlier fragrance paired the flower with sandalwood and plum, this interpretation evokes its fruity, floral and leathery facets through apricot, black tea, floral aldehydes and Suederal, with Cashmeran and musk adding texture.
Extra info
The number 5.1 identifies a reworking of the 05 fragrance theme, not a concentration or formula percentage. Osmanthus is the olfactory idea rather than a literal ingredient declaration: the composition recreates the flower’s impression through other accords.
