The following are some reasons why perfumes can become unavailable:
Each year, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) issues ever-stricter safety and allergen regulations. This affects quite a few classic formulas as well as niche compositions, and sometimes brands have to discontinue a perfume if they are unable to reformulate.
The brand decides to change the concentration. For example, an eau de parfum is reformulated as an extrait, effectively turning it into a different perfume.
The brand ceases operating. The creative director passed away, got bored, started a new project, sold the business, etc.
The brand cannot keep up with logistics and production demands, with disruptions for up to a year. If there is no regular production and availability schedule, it is not viable for a stockist to carry the brand.
The brand changed the distribution model, eg from niche to duty free.
This is a fragrance for close quarters and low light, when the air can hold its warmth and the scent can unfold slowly. It suits a wearer who wants a sensual, resinous presence rather than a bright statement: smooth leather, glowing amber and smoky incense that feel intimate, composed and slightly mysterious.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its resins and leather can radiate without becoming heavy. Apply sparingly, one to three sprays, to let the amber and incense create a soft but persistent aura; in warmer air it reads sweeter and more balsamic, while on skin it settles into a warm, leathery glow.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy amber scents with depth, smoke and texture, especially if they like resinous woods, incense and leather over sweetness alone. It will appeal to wearers who prefer a sensual, slightly antique character with a polished niche feel.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume Pierre Guillaume is the founder and nose behind the Pierre Guillaume Paris universe, and his work is known for compact, idea-driven compositions that evolve vividly on skin. He often builds fragrances like small narrative films, letting resin, spice, wood and leather shift in unexpected ways rather than settling into a single static accord. With Peau d’Ambre, he leans into that signature storytelling style: the scent is structured around a resinous “quadriga” of incense, fir balsam, opoponax and benzoin, then drawn toward amber and leather. The result is a polished example of his taste for atmospheric, genre-blending perfumes with a strong sense of place.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris is a numbered, concept-led house built around evolving olfactory themes rather than fixed formulas. The brand’s style is intellectually playful and highly narrative, with fragrances designed to unfold in stages and reveal contrasts between materials, moods and textures.
PG28 Peau d'Ambre (Discontinued)’s concept
Peau d’Ambre imagines the ancient perfume trade around Corinth in the 6th century BCE, when resins, oils and aromatics moved across the Mediterranean in leather containers and stone vessels. The fragrance turns that historical image into a twilight scene of pine, balsams, amber and mineral shorelines, with the name suggesting amber close to the skin.
Extra info
The name Peau d’Ambre means “amber skin,” which neatly captures the fragrance’s warm, tactile idea. It belongs to Pierre Guillaume’s numbered collection and is presented as an oriental-amber, Mediterranean composition built around the image of ancient trade routes.
