French niche line Pierre Guillaume has introduced Staelios, a new woody floral leather fragrance.

THE INSPIRATION A merchant ship sailing from Saint Petersburg to Genoa whose holds were overflowing with Russian reindeer leather was shipwrecked in the 18th century. More than two centuries later, a French tannery reproduced the special quality of this stock. Pierre GUILLAUME was given a few strips of this precious purple leather. These “noble leather scraps” exude a warm, delicate fragrance of infinite preciousness, an animal elegance… the smell of luxury. This material will be the heart of a fragrance symbolised by a horse of Fire: a powerful stallion, elegant and racy, as fiery as the sun: STÆLIOS.

THE FRAGRANCE Incandescent Bois de Violette... STÆLIOS is an eau de parfum saturated with woody and floral notes. Luxurious notes of Russian Leather envelop a Violet Wood soaked in a fiery Davana Liquor infused with Ashanti Pepper Leaves. Saturated with natural elements and high-performance volumising ingredients, STÆLIOS generates a powerful, eye-catching trail and long-lasting hold.

Additional notes include clementine, cedar, cinnamon, cypress, clove, nutmeg, lavender, sandalwood and precious woods.

Pierre Guillaume Staelios is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
