Felanilla is a combination of feline and vanilla. It’s a seemingly relaxed arrangement of saffron, vanilla (two rare and precious varieties: Bourbon and Taihitian), hay and sweet woods but it’s a feline prowl of a scent. This vanilla is for grown-ups and is neither girly nor smells of patisserie. A precious, generous and racy combination of three absolutes (hay, iris and vanilla) resting on a fruity woods base.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Felanilla suits the unhurried intimacy of sitting close enough for someone to notice the scent at your collar. Its powdery iris and dry hay suggest worn velvet rather than polished formality; the vanilla supplies warmth, while saffron and the animalic edge keep that softness from becoming innocent.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on the neck or upper chest, where body warmth can bring out the vanilla beneath the drier iris and saffron. Its plush amber character makes it a natural choice for cooler weather; in heated rooms or warmer temperatures, use a lighter application to keep that richness comfortable.
Who it’s for
For those who like vanilla but prefer powder, dry woods and animalic texture to edible sweetness. Felanilla will appeal to lovers of iris, saffron and vintage-leaning leather accords who want warmth with a slightly untamed edge.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught perfumer whose chemistry background informs an experimental, texture-driven style. His compositions often explore the tension between familiar materials and unexpected effects, from the spicy tobacco of Cozé to the chocolate-toned musk of Musc Maori. In Felanilla, he takes vanilla away from confectionery sweetness, shaping it with iris, saffron and a softly animalic warmth.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s house treats perfumery as artistic expression grounded in science, with independent creation and in-house development and production in Clermont-Ferrand. The Numbered collection follows his personal olfactory interests through distinct themes, while restrained bottles keep attention on the compositions themselves.
PG21 Felanilla’s concept
Felanilla’s name joins feline and vanilla, capturing its central idea: vanilla with the warmth and tactile suggestion of fur, rather than the sweetness of pastry. Iris and saffron form its softly spiced coat, while fruity woods and amber give the composition a generous, sensual foundation.
Extra info
The number 21 identifies the house’s vanilla theme, not the fragrance’s year or concentration. Felanilla shares that numbered theme with 21.1 Orchidivy, another interpretation of vanilla in the collection.
