Perfumer: Prin LomrosFragrance Notes: Linen, mahogany, brandy, orris, rose, cognac, lavender, vanilla, leather, plum, cocoa, moss, oak, tobacco, tonka, vetiverGuido takes its name and its soul from the tormented film directors at the center of Fellini's 8½ and Rob Marshall's Nine — a man caught between his art and his loves, magnetic on the surface, restless and vulnerable underneath. Prin Lomros translates that complexity into one of his most quietly seductive compositions.The charm comes first: cognac, brandy, and cocoa open warm and indulgent, an intoxicating pull that draws you in. Beneath it sits a romantic idealist — mahogany and oakwood lend depth and a longing for real connection, while tobacco, moss, and leather trace the mystery of a creative mind lost in its work, alluring and a little intimidating at once. At the center, unexpectedly, is a cool, powdery rose, softened by linen and vanilla into something introspective and tender: the private, reflective side of a man who idealizes the people he loves. The result is a leather-and-rose chiaroscuro, romantic and shadowed in equal measure.A note on the bottle: Strangers Parfumerie has been working through a bottle-supply change, gradually moving from clear square bottles to clear round ones. Because of this, the bottle you receive may differ in shape from the photo depending on the batch — but the fragrance inside is exactly the same, and many customers actually prefer the newer round design. If you have a preference for a square or round bottle, please email us after placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate it. This scent: ships in the square bottle. Show more
