Peau de Pierre

Absolutely beautiful. Only three simple notes, but takes you on a journey. The opening reminds me of F by Ferragamo Black's opening, but slightly warmer and less complex. I'm sure that's the woody note mimicking the lavender in a way. Peau de Pierre is a warm, woody, slightly smoky, absolutely delicious scent and one of my better blind buys. Lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin, moderate projection for the first hour and then is a nice skin scent. Clean, safe to wear in public, absolutely divine.

Opens with a sharp incense, that will quickly calm down towards peppery woods. The drydown is all about ambrette (the major player in the 'creamy soil' effect), supported by amberwood. Yes I agree... it's a synthetic feeling musky/peppery/woody something... but it's addictive to my nose... what can I do? I love it. Period. Average performance. Colder days, 25+

Why do I smell waxy indols you guys? This perfume is literally the smell of Blanche riding down a Florida Hwy in a red 1986 Fiero while giving head to the driver. Her hair is all over the place and her white and cream oversized linen blazer is all rumpled. And she absolutely love hates what she's getting up to!

What an absolutely beautiful fragrance! I totally agree with @alphairone... Love, love, love smelling like this, now I have to find and try out the other Starck fragrances....

Wow wow wow! This was always on my radar, and I wish I bought this a long time ago. Wow what a beautiful Smokey woody and earthy scent. Smells so damn good.

Tricked my nose a little to begin with I got a smooth vanilla, synth orris maybe even ambrette/musk mallow sort of vibe? Then a wool, warm cashmere woods, and the second time I applied it Pierre was much sharper and more straight forward in the opening...it's a tricky fragrance. Definitely a kind of synth woody amber and that milky sweetened fougere vibe of a Le Male/Reflection man starts to creep in as it dries down. It's okay, not great though.

starts off with an acrid blast of wood polish and mellows out to a gorgeous clean musk rounded out by a soft, sweet blanket of ambrette and warmed by thick pillowy smoke of palo santo. like inhaling the sooty remnants of a ritualistic palo santo bonfire deep in the woods that cut through the crisp air of a dawning sky.

Elusive That's what come to mind first about Pierre And it's not about longevity - bout 6h on skin easily - but about that feeling like it's natural smell of your skin

Le Papier for men. I was gifted this, but never heard of it. however I like Daphné Bugey's creations and this does not disappoint. unique, woody, smoky, but smooth 😎.

Opens like a soapy fougere with almondy background (which I don't care about), then dries down to something fresh-woody and much nicer.

I get dirt, mud, soil & smoke. Camping at a park at night , a wood fire-after you spill water on it. Creative? yes.... interesting? yes... niche? definitely... But i don't want to smell like this.

Peppery woods, a little powdery, and some wet dirt. Not the smoke bomb I was looking for but still smells alright. Wouldn't get it again for that reason.

woody and clean. nothing more. no earthy or smokey note if not slightly at the beginning. 2/10

I've just come to know three of these Peau de [...] fragrances. Pierre, Soie, & Ailleurs . I'm very pleased with Soie & Pierre - in fact the first thing that came to mind was "Nasomatto" - and that is high praise indeed coming from me! Certainly they have that sheer richness & audacity that makes those Nasomattos so compelling. I've been having a bit of trouble, TBPH, with Ailleurs , as my perception of it was instantly dominated by the aroma of geosmin , with which I am acquainted; and I've 'gotten into a rut' with it of it's seeming to me to be one of those monomolecular fragrances, which I am not a fan of atall-atall - which impression I am hoping to have dispelled when I come to actually wear it. (I don't know any of them yet, other than off-the-blotter.) But this one, and Soie are just full-on straightforward good fragrances. And I love how smoke is incorporated into this one - very audacious! ... although there are others that have that note, I do realise. A little tip for use of the plunger on these Starck perfume bottles, which I've already said doesn't seem to me to be very stout: press it down as near to the inside edge as possible - avoid pressing-down at the outside edge. I'm not so sure now you know. I think I was dazzled a bit by these perfumes' openings & the novelty of them. The aroma's quite pleasant & interesting , & longevity is quite ample ... & all that: but there's something just a bit (or quite a lot) shallow about them - like an article made of thin plastic. I will use them and shall no doubt get considerable enjoyment out of them. But I think they fall a bit short even of the reduced (and was it really reduced?) price.

To echo RAOQwerty, there's a lot of anise and sharp, pitchy wood here, but I don't sense much sweetness or playfulness. I suppose that if your nose is good enough, you might pick up some aromachemicals, but I suppose mine just isn't on that level. I reserve this one for dismal rainy days where the gray sky to be venting its watery wrath on you, and it stays buried in the closet otherwise. Would this one be a personal scent that might set you apart from anyone else you know? I don't doubt it. One that I'd enjoy? Not really, but I got my bottle at a heavy discount and don't regret it. "Peau de Pierre" might serve of a test of another kind, though. I simply cannot see someone who isn't a committed fragrance fan going anywhere near this one. This might be one of those scents that separates people who like fragrances in a general way from those who have a truly curious nose and who would go to any lengths to smell or wear something interesting.

This is for those who love Dior Homme Intense type scents. It’s a more muted version, This is very beautiful... similar concept to Soie, but more masculine. This is a musk without any synthetic or detergent type notes. It’s a clean animalic. It’s very simple. I get a soft sueded orris on top with ambrette on the bottom. I do not get smoke or earth. There is nothing green here.

Begins woody, soapy, then goes quite soap with doses of mint. I can't detect much of woods later on as it kind of vanishes and goes mint soap. Well, i already don't like the mint in fragrances but this one is quite fair as it doesn't have that sharp free sugar gum mint kind of smell. Fair after all.

With Peau de Pierre, Daphne Bugey makes it all peppery woods, reminiscent of mahogany, snuggled in wool blankets with the smoke from a distant fire (remember that 70s chestnut?) and nutty, ambrette-like whispers. Here's another tune: "digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt."

I get a powdery, almondy woody scent. I can’t pick up smoke. This is quite powdery to my, but not sweet. It’s a neutral sort of skin scent with a powdery almond twist. It was an instant love for me, and it was quite different than I expected. Unisex leaning feminine to my nose.

just got this as a free gift (7,5 ml & case) from buying xerjoff renaissance. i smell incense with little sweetness with hint of smokiness. i dont feel earthy, i just smell that 2 notes.simply that, leans unisex because of its sweetness. unique fragrance.
