PG21.1 Orchidivy
Conjuring the Garden of Eden by way of a supernatural green vanilla. A scent so sylvan it will feel as if you have wrapped yourself in verdant ivy. Gardenia deepens the green tones as tomato leaves bring a rich earthyness. Tonka beans are warm and creamy while red juicy raspberry contrasts for a vibrant edge.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon spent close enough for conversation, with the sharp green scent of crushed leaves still on your hands. Orchidivy’s ivy and tomato-leaf character brings a slightly wild edge to the softer intimacy of gardenia and creamy vanilla; raspberry keeps the mood playful rather than solemn.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the leafy facets and creamy sweetness can share the foreground. Start with one or two sprays on skin; in warmer conditions, keep application light to favour the green impression without letting the vanilla dominate. Adjust to the balance it develops on your skin.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy vanilla but want foliage and floral texture rather than a pastry-like gourmand. It suits a taste for green florals, creamy tonka and tart fruit accents, especially when familiar sweetness is offset by the earthy bite of tomato leaves.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is an independent French perfumer whose background in chemistry informs his inventive treatment of texture and unusual accords. His work ranges from the spicy warmth of Cozé to the iris-and-vanilla interplay of Felanilla. In Orchidivy, he takes vanilla in a botanical direction, setting its creamy sweetness against leafy greens, gardenia and raspberry.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris approaches perfumery as an independent, personal exploration of materials and olfactory themes. Its Numbered Collection, formerly Parfumerie Générale, revisits ideas through distinct variations rather than fixed formulas. In-house creation and manufacture support an emphasis on inventive, wearable compositions that evolve on skin.
PG21.1 Orchidivy’s concept
Orchidivy is the second interpretation of Theme 21, “The Vanillas,” following Felanilla. Where its predecessor explores saffron, iris and amber, Orchidivy imagines a woodland enchantress living in symbiosis with plants. Ivy, gardenia and tomato leaves give creamy vanilla a lush botanical setting rather than a conventional dessert-like treatment.
Extra info
The name joins the vanilla orchid with ivy, linking vanilla’s botanical origin to the fragrance’s leafy character. The number 21.1 identifies a variation within the house’s vanilla theme, not a release date. Pierre Guillaume is also credited with the packaging.
