The famed summer rose of Isparta, Turkey gives its name to the 26th fragrance from the esteemed Pierre Guillaume.
Specially picked early in the morning when their alluring scent is strongest, the half open petals still glistening with dew the Isparta’s summer roses has an intense, rich and lightly spicy character.
Opening with delectable red fruits, Isparta starts with a subtle harmonious sweet accord.
The mysterious character of the rose is heightened by balmy and resinous facets, veiling the rose with clouds of incense and smoked agarwood.
With a deep velvety base of amber and musk, PG26 Isparta is an alluring and bewitching rose perfect for exploring the darker side of spring.
Pair this perfume with the indulgent Isparta hand and body wash infused with the same fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Isparta suits an evening spent in close conversation, where a fruity rose opening gradually gives way to smoke and resin. Its velvety darkness suggests intimacy rather than ceremony: a sensual presence that does not depend on floral brightness.
How to wear
Its resinous rose and smoky woods are well suited to cool spring evenings and autumn weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the sweet opening to settle before adding more. In warm conditions, apply lightly so the balsamic richness does not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer roses with shadow and texture rather than airy petals or cosmetic powder. The red-fruit sweetness offers an inviting entry point, while incense, oud and patchouli appeal to lovers of resinous florals and darker woody compositions.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a French perfumer whose independent work combines technical curiosity with an instinct for texture and wearability. Compositions such as Cozé and Musc Maori reflect his interest in unexpected gourmand, woody and musky contrasts. In Isparta, he gives rose a darker register, setting its fruity richness against woods and burning-resin effects.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s house centres on creative independence, with fragrance creation and manufacturing kept in-house. Its numbered collection explores distinct olfactory themes rather than a single signature style, favouring inventive combinations that remain wearable and reveal their character on skin.
PG26 Isparta’s concept
Isparta takes its name from the rose-growing region of Turkey, drawing on summer roses harvested early in the morning while their petals are still partly open. Rather than reproduce a dewy flower, Guillaume interprets their rich, lightly spicy scent through red fruits, dark woods and resinous warmth.
Extra info
The number 26 identifies the house’s Neo-Chypre theme, rather than simply marking its twenty-sixth perfume. The original launch note lists and the current official presentation differ in detail; that difference does not itself establish a reformulation.
