Pierre Guillaume Paris Isparta 26 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Pierre Guillaume. Isparta 26 opens with Red Fruits and Rose, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Peru Balsam, and Calamus, and dries down to a base of Oud, Ambroxan, Benzoin, and Frankincense. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Isparta 26 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This isn't just another rose and patchouli number. Isparta 26 stands out from the crowded field of 'rose oud' fragrances, offering a vibrant, complex take that manages to be both artful and surprisingly wearable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, but generally well-regarded.

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 Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for evenings and events where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. The rich rose and resinous base lean more towards formal and date settings, though its nuanced wearability allows for some casual use. The scent is too complex and enduring for sports.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

Other declarable allergens

  • Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Extract from Peru Balsam

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

Isparta 26 opens with a burst of juicy red fruits and a fresh, vibrant rose. As it settles, earthy patchouli and a balsamic richness from Peru Balsam and Calamus emerge, adding depth without heaviness. The dry down introduces a sophisticated blend of soft oud, warm benzoin, and a hint of moss, creating a lasting impression of elegant decay and nuanced sweetness.
