A beach party… from Ibiza to Miami
Pierre Guillaume revisits chypre a classical perfume formula by boldly redrawing its outlines to offer a modern, hybrid composition.
Though the scent is built around classic chypre ingredients: patchouli, vetiver, labdanum, vanilla and oak moss the fruity aromatic twist adds an offbeat, playful touch.
Lime, fresh mint, strawberry aldehydes and rum absolute make up an explosive, exhilarating mojito accord that conjures the atmosphere of beach parties and summer celebrations.
As the perfume quietens down, the chypre structure asserts itself with warm woods and sensual moss.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a crowded shoreline gathering just as the light starts to soften: salt on skin, music in the distance, and a glass left sweating on a warm table. It projects a flirtatious, slightly unruly energy that feels social and close-up rather than polished or formal.
How to wear
Best in warm weather, especially in spring and summer, where its minty citrus lift and fruity sparkle can open fully. Apply lightly at first: the opening is lively and diffusive, while the chypre base settles into a warmer, mossy trail that stays close enough for skin-level wear.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like classic structures with a twist: chypres that feel brighter, fruitier and less formal, with a touch of leathered woods and sensual sweetness. It suits people drawn to unconventional compositions that balance freshness, flirtation and depth.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is an independent French perfumer known for building fragrances with a strong authorial voice: inventive, genre-blending, and often surprisingly tactile on skin. Working from his own workshops in Auvergne, he has developed a reputation for compositions that feel modern but still structurally precise, with a particular interest in movement, texture and the way a perfume evolves over time. For the Cruise/Croisière collection, Guillaume applies that approach to the idea of travel and sea air, but avoids conventional aquatic clichés. Mojito Chypre fits his style well: it takes a classical chypre framework and disrupts it with a fruity, boozy, minty brightness, turning the structure into something more playful and contemporary.
Pierre Guillaume Cruise/Croisiere’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris is an independent niche house built around creative freedom, modern composition and a distinctly personal point of view. The brand favors perfumes that evolve vividly on skin, mixing genres rather than following fixed formulas, and it often returns to themes of travel, texture and emotional atmosphere.
Mojito Chypre’s concept
Mojito Chypre belongs to Pierre Guillaume’s Cruise/Croisière universe, a collection conceived as a travel narrative rather than a conventional aquatic line. The fragrance reworks the chypre template with a mojito accord of lime, mint, strawberry aldehydes and rum, then lets the mossy, woody base reassert itself, as if a beach-party brightness slowly gives way to the darker architecture beneath.
Extra info
The Cruise/Croisière collection was launched in 2015 and presented as Pierre Guillaume’s travel-inspired answer to the aquatic genre. The line is known for its translucent blue ceramic-like bottle finish, meant to evoke waves and beach-worn stone.
