Pierre Guillaume Paris Anti-Blues is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Pierre Guillaume. Anti-Blues opens with Dark Chocolate, Grapefruit, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Amyris, Resins, Woody Notes, and Chocolate, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Anti-Blues carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, Anti-Blues is a gourmand for people who say they don't like gourmands. It's a complex, challenging scent where dark chocolate meets unexpected twists, often smelling less like a treat and more like a leathery, woody, tobacco-laden experience.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for evenings without being overwhelming. The complex, dark gourmand profile leans towards colder weather and nights out, making it a strong choice for dates or evening casual wear, but less suited for sporty activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Anti-Blues opens with a striking, almost jarring blend of bitter dark chocolate, a zing of grapefruit, and the leathery spice of saffron. This quickly deepens into a woody, resinous heart with hints of incense and dry hay, the chocolate evolving into a more dusty cocoa. As it settles, a dry, warm base emerges, combining worn leather and nutty tobacco with a touch of creamy vanilla and earthy vetiver, creating an unconventional and dry gourmand experience.
