History
Dialogue with Venus belongs to the White Collection, launched in 2019 by Pierre Guillaume and housed in a white ceramic bottle. Conceived as modern, fresh and gender fluid, the collection explores the purity of white and light; this solar vanilla is one of its most sensual readings.
The inspiration goes back to 1977, the year the perfumer was born: Helmut Newton immortalised Charlotte Rampling in a series of photographs titled “Venus in Furs”. A feline, supersensual woman embodies an emancipated sexual power. Echoing the sexual revolution and its bohemian patchoulis, the perfumery of the 1970s distilled a chic eroticism, all in suggestion, where heady white flowers, pierced by green, powdery and aldehydic notes, anchored the decade’s fragrances in a glamorous sophistication.
The fragrance opens on that white floral accord evoking the luxurious, heightened femininity of the seventies, but its fruity, silky, solar vanilla is treated according to the codes of the House of Pierre Guillaume Paris. Subtle exotic sprays run through the floral melody like a wind of freedom, gradually settling a mischievous, sexy “je-ne-sais-quoi”.
The result is a luminous vanilla, far from the heavy gourmand: an effortless chic carried by the salt of the spray and the transparency of white musk. The composition embraces its seventies glamour while staying contemporary and unisex.
Olfactory pyramid
Dialogue with Venus unfolds in three movements, from saline vanilla to white flowers and then musk.
The thread is light: a vanilla split by salt, never overly sweet.
Olfactory profile
Dialogue with Venus is a solar vanilla rather than a gourmand one. Sea spray and ylang-ylang open it with a saline, floral brightness that keeps the sugar in check; peach slips in a velvety fruit, and the whole breathes a chic femininity inherited from the seventies.
Its signature is the transparency of the base. Creamy sandalwood and white musk lay down a luminous skin, sensual without weight, which makes the scent unisex and easy to wear. It is a fine-weather trail, mischievous and caressing.
