A sugared tuberose hiding in a castle build of marshmallow and pistachio baklava.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon visit, with pistachio pastry on the table and conversation drawing closer. Dilshad’s sugared floral softness suits that intimate register, while its green bitterness keeps the mood from becoming wholly dessert-like.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cooler weather, when its creamy sweetness is less likely to feel heavy. Begin with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, letting skin warmth bring the tuberose, almond milk and musk together. Use a lighter application in warm weather to keep the green pistachio contrast in focus.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy edible textures but still want a distinctly floral perfume. It suits a taste for powdery sweetness, milky nut accords and soft musk, especially when balanced by bitter-green facets rather than treated as a straightforward dessert.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught perfumer with a background in chemistry, known for pairing technical experimentation with tactile, approachable compositions. Works such as Cozé and Musc Maori reflect his interest in unexpected contrasts and gourmand textures. In Dilshad, he gives pistachio equal billing with tuberose, connecting their bitter-green facets within a soft almond-milk and musk setting.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris combines scientific technique with poetic expression, favouring inventive perfumes that remain wearable. Creative independence and in-house production in Auvergne underpin the house, while its numbered collection allows individual olfactory themes to be revisited from different angles.
PG17.1 Dilshad’s concept
Dilshad revisits the house’s Theme 17: Tuberose, following Tubéreuse Couture. Rather than concentrating on the flower alone, Guillaume builds a duet around the shared bitter-green facets of tuberose and pistachio. Almond milk and musk create an enveloping texture, imagined as flowers steeping in the fatty medium of enfleurage—not a claim about the perfume’s manufacturing method.
Extra info
The house interprets the Persian name Dilshad as “the one who brings happiness,” linking it to the Iranian pistachio accord. Its number, 17.1, places it within the collection’s tuberose theme. Marshmallow and baklava are descriptive scent images rather than notes in the official pyramid, which also includes opopanax.
