Pierre Guillaume Paris is a French niche house known for crafting unconventional fragrances that prioritize raw materials and distinctive compositions over commercial appeal. The brand has built a reputation for bold, sometimes divisive creations that attract serious fragrance enthusiasts rather than mainstream audiences.

Louanges Profanes 19 opens with aldehydes and spiced florals, specifically cinnamon and frangipani layered with jasmine and white flowers, creating an almost peppery floral blast. The heart settles into warmer territory with cedar, coffee, and incense alongside lily and patchouli, giving the fragrance an unexpectedly gourmand warmth. The base deepens this character with amber, benzoin, and black pepper balanced by ginger and more incense, resulting in a fragrance that's simultaneously sweet, smoky, and spiced.

This is a complex unisex fragrance best suited for cooler months or evening wear, particularly for those who appreciate layered compositions with an androgynous edge. It works well on skin that can handle bold spice and doesn't shy away from incense-heavy bases. If you're drawn to The Mystic, The Homesteader, and The Sensualist profiles, Louanges Profanes 19 will likely appeal to your tastes.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
aldehydes
aldehydes
The chemical family that created modern perfumery, aldehydes were first used prominently in Chanel N°5 (1921), adding a soapy, abstract, almost metallic sparkle that lifted the fragrance above anything previously possible. They don't smell like anything in nature; their effect is more textural than aromatic. Aldehydic fragrances feel luminous, sophisticated, and distinctly 20th century.
cinnamon
cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
frangipani
frangipani
Creamy, tropical, and deeply floral, frangipani (plumeria) is the scent of warm Pacific nights, a lush sweetness with waxy, slightly rubbery facets. It's more complex than it first appears, with coconut-like creaminess and faint spice underneath. A note that transports immediately and unmistakably.
jasmine
jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
white flowers
white flowers
A family rather than a single note, white flowers in perfumery typically refers to an accord of white-petalled blossoms (jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, lily) blended to create a rich, heady, indolic warmth. The quintessential note of feminine oriental fragrances, sensual and enveloping.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
cedar
cedar
coffee
coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
incense
incense
The dry, smoky, slightly woody scent of burning resin, incense in perfumery usually means frankincense or similar resins, adding a contemplative, almost spiritual quality. It creates distance and mystery, making fragrances feel larger than they are. A hallmark of niche, serious perfumery.
lily
lily
Grand, creamy, and slightly spicy, Oriental lily (Stargazer, Casablanca) is one of the most powerful natural flowers, with a heady, complex sweetness that fills a room. White lily is softer and more transparent. Both add drama and elegance to floral compositions, though they require careful handling to avoid becoming oppressive.
patchouli
patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Base · 3–12 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
benzoin
benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
black pepper
black pepper
Sharp, dry, and immediately present, black pepper in perfumery is spice without sweetness, heat without heaviness. It adds edge to citrus openings and warmth to woody bases, creating contrast that keeps a fragrance interesting. One of the most versatile spice notes, comfortable in everything from fresh colognes to deep orientals.
ginger
ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
incense
incense
The dry, smoky, slightly woody scent of burning resin, incense in perfumery usually means frankincense or similar resins, adding a contemplative, almost spiritual quality. It creates distance and mystery, making fragrances feel larger than they are. A hallmark of niche, serious perfumery.
