Pierre Guillaume Paris Arabian Horse 3.1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Pierre Guillaume. Arabian Horse 3.1 opens with Green Notes, Floral Notes, and Narcissus, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Musk, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Amber. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Arabian Horse 3.1 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, unique, and utterly compelling, this is high-concept perfumery for the bold. Not for everyone, but if you love art in a bottle and the smell of a sophisticated stable, you'll be obsessed.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

While its unique character makes it less suitable for formal or office settings where it might be too distracting, its moderate performance allows for more intimate casual and date wear. Reviews note its experimental nature makes it a 'scent I wear for myself,' limiting its broader social utility.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Narcissus Poeticus Extract from Narcissus
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine a sun-drenched, wild meadow yielding to the earthy, musky scent of a well-tended stable. Arabian Horse opens with a rush of bitter green notes and dewy narcissus, quickly transitioning to a remarkable animalic heart of cypriol and a distinctive 'horse's mane' musk. The dry down is a refined blend of smooth, oiled leather and warm amber, hinting at ancient woods and sun-baked earth.
