"In the paintings of Jacques Monory, blue forgives everything. It makes the crime aesthetic, the threat fascination. Bathed in shades of highly desirable blue, urban and contemporary violence paradoxically becomes hypnotic."

Anti-Blues, the first in Pierre Guillaume's new Confidentiel series, is a dark gourmand that, like the paintings of Monory, bathes warm mineral and woody gourmand notes in a cool blue wash of frankincense, combining the dangerous and the delicious. The frankincense is stark and cold, mixed with an almost alien vetiver, disguising the imposing woody bitterness coming from cacao, saffron, and amyris. Touches of hay and dark chocolate coax out the animal nuances of vanilla, already dirtied with leather and tobacco. It's a fragrance of olfactory illusion, enticing edible notes and seductive woods painting a distinctly tinted portrait of delectable darkness.

This is going to sound very odd but.. to me this smelled like dirty socks and dark chocolate. Thankfully I ordered a sample instead of splurging on the bottle.

Oh my my! This is heaven as long as you have at least some days when you like things sweet. Years ago I fell deeply, darkly in love with Long Courrier by our friend Pierre here. I had hoped to someday find a scent from this line that I liked just as well, and this is it. It won't be a regular scent for me because I have to be in a certain mood for all that chocolate and vanilla and resin. But especially for a night home, with a drink and a book... it's a treat, and you won't even have to sneak your wrist-sniffs.

I have learned to not judge Pierre Guillaume fragrances by the first 5-10 minutes and this one is no exception. When I first sprayed it on I was underwhelmed. I sprayed it on my boyfriend and was also underwhelmed. But then I'd pay attention to the dry down or catch a whiff as I moved around and this fragrance is incredibly true to it's name. I don't understand why but it does make you smile. It's comforting but without the usual sweetness that comes with a lot of "comforting" scents. It's wonderfully unisex. This is absolutely the sort of fragrance I'll reach for when I'm just not quite sure what to wear or I need a pick me up on a dark day. Lovely and FB worthy.

Marvelous, marvelous. Rich and unusual. And happy and not too sweet.

This is gorgeous. The notes aren't super distinct (as in it's easy to pick each individual one out) and I thought it was somewhat linear but it's definitely an amazing blend of sweet gourmand and smoky woods. This is supposedly a men's scent but I've tried it on myself (female) and my male partner and it smells fantastic on both of us, so I think because of the sweetness it can lean unisex. But this is still a very tobacco and woods forward fragrance so it definitely doesn't scream *girly* either. This is absolutely a comforting cold weather and dark days scent, something you'd definitely wear to bring a smile to your face if you experience as many grey, wet days as I do in the PNW. Since I can share this with my guy this is 100% FBW.
