Pierre Guillaume Paris Église de Velours 20.2 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Pierre Guillaume. Église de Velours 20.2 settles into a heart of Musk, Myrrh, Frankincense, and Hinoki Wood. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Église de Velours 20.2 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously deep and reflective scent, built around a complex amber and a heavy dose of incense. It's not for everyone - skip if you're after something light - but if you like your fragrances with gravitas, Église de Velours 20.2 delivers.

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.

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

Église de Velours 20.2 opens with a rich, almost liturgical warmth, driven by frankincense and myrrh that immediately set a solemn tone. This resinous heart is softened by a velvety musk, adding a tactile, skin-like intimacy. As it settles, the distinct, calming aroma of hinoki wood emerges, grounding the amber and aromatic qualities with a serene, slightly smoky dryness. It's a scent that feels both ancient and deeply comforting, an olfactory embrace of amber and spice, perfectly balanced by woody musk.
