Intimately quiet or quietly intimate?
Inspired by famous voyeuristic novel L'Enfer by Henri Barbusse, Poudre de Riz is a perfume that simmers with the scent of the morning after.
A delicate rice accord, mingles with sweet syrupy rose. Luminous coconut & tiare flower rest on a silken bed of benzoin.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried morning in a beach bungalow, with traces of monoï on washed skin and face powder lingering nearby. Rice powder and rose give the fragrance a composed softness, while coconut and balsamic sweetness suggest warmth at close quarters rather than a grand entrance.
How to wear
Try a light application to the wrists and upper chest, letting the powdery accord mingle with skin warmth. Mild weather suits its balance of luminous florals and sweet balsams; in hotter conditions, apply sparingly so the coconut, rose and tonka remain soft rather than enveloping.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to cosmetic powder, tender rose and creamy tropical florals rather than sharp freshness. Its edible sweetness will appeal to gourmand lovers who prefer a powdery, skin-oriented composition to a overtly dessert-like scent.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is an independent French perfumer whose chemistry background informs his inventive handling of texture, unusual accords and familiar materials. His work often balances experimentation with wearability, as in Musc Maori and Cozé. For Poudre de Riz, he approached cosmetic powder through the tenderness of freshly washed, moisturized skin, rather than overtly heavy sensuality.
Pierre Guillaume Black Collection’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris is a creator-led house that combines inventive compositions with close control over production in its Auvergne workshops. Its Black Collection presents fragrances as olfactory photographs: recognizable scented scenes explored through contemporary materials, including ingredients derived from biotechnology.
Poudre de Riz’s concept
A passage from Henri Barbusse’s L’Enfer inspired the fragrance: an enclosed room holding traces of soap, face powder and eau de Cologne. Guillaume gave that intimate atmosphere a sun-warmed interpretation, imagining a couple in a beach bungalow the morning after a passionate night, with monoï lingering in the air.
Extra info
Poudre de Riz means “rice powder,” evoking traditional cosmetic powder rather than establishing the presence of literal rice extract. The fragrance originally appeared under Guillaume’s Huitième Art label and is now part of the Black Collection.
