A socially acceptable way to smell like you spend your downtime writhing naked in milky melted chocolate, spiced with saffron, smoked by tobacco, caressed by vanilla. Cue eyes-rolling-back-in-their-head pleasure for anyone who smells you.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening conversation that stretches long after the coffee has gone cold. Bitter cocoa and tobacco give the sweetness a darker register, while incense keeps the mood composed: indulgent, tactile and suited to close company rather than a bright, bustling room.
How to wear
Best approached in cool weather, when the chocolate, vanilla and tobacco accord can feel enveloping rather than heavy. Start with one or two sprays beneath clothing for a more contained impression; apply more sparingly in warmth or shared indoor spaces, where the dense sweetness may feel fuller.
Who it’s for
For lovers of dark gourmands who want chocolate with smoke, wood and a leathery edge rather than straightforward confectionery sweetness. It will appeal to tastes that favour dense, sensual compositions and enjoy the friction between edible warmth and drier, more austere notes.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is an independent French perfumer whose chemistry background informs an experimental, texture-led approach to composition. His work often sets edible warmth against woods, musks or unexpected atmospheric effects, as in Cozé and Musc Maori. Anti-Blues revisits the dark-gourmand territory of his early creations, contrasting animalic chocolate with cooler incense, saffron and vetiver.
Pierre Guillaume Black Collection’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris combines scientific technique with artistic expression, maintaining creative independence through composition and production in its own Auvergne workshops. Anti-Blues belongs officially to Confidentiel, the house’s selectively distributed collection devoted to experimentation, imagination and creative freedom.
Anti-Blues’s concept
Anti-Blues draws on the work of painter Jacques Monory, particularly the way blue makes unsettling urban imagery compelling and hypnotic. Guillaume translates that tension into warm, animalic dark chocolate framed by cooler incense, saffron and vetiver, returning to the dark-gourmand structures of his early work.
Extra info
Despite its frequent Black Collection retail label, Anti-Blues officially belongs to Confidentiel; the different labels do not indicate different formulations. Its full official note list also includes grapefruit, an unexpected detail within the dark chocolate-and-incense composition.
