“Ingredients, a few clues: big bang; exploring a mysterious unknown; gemstones; a woody, almost smoky intensity; the riddle of a synthetic molecule more real than nature. Peau de Pierre is a masculine fragrance that reveals a man’s feminine side. It is the membrane, the symbol of that permanent ambiguity that filters our differences and personality.” - a note from the brand.

On my skin, I smell ylang ylang, anise, and spicy sweet balsamic woodyness. This all dried into a baby powder/sunscreen vibe.

Absolutely beautiful. Only three simple notes, but takes you on a journey. The opening reminds me of F by Ferragamo Black's opening, but slightly warmer and less complex. I'm sure that's the woody note mimicking the lavender in a way. Peau de Pierre is a warm, woody, slightly smoky, absolutely delicious scent and one of my better blind buys. Lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin, moderate projection for the first hour and then is a nice skin scent. Clean, safe to wear in public, absolutely divine.

Wow wow wow! This was always on my radar, and I wish I bought this a long time ago. Wow what a beautiful Smokey woody and earthy scent. Smells so damn good.

What an absolutely beautiful fragrance! I totally agree with @alphairone...
Love, love, love smelling like this, now I have to find and try out the other Starck fragrances....

There is something institutional about this fragrance. Institutional but also iconoclastic. Like raiding the science teacher’s office and getting whiffs of formaldehyde, book paste, and computer dust. It dries down into a more subtle and balanced powdery wood scent with just a touch of the rubber and metallic notes that dominate the opening. This one really is a head-scratcher. Addictive, but not an easy-reach. Iconic, but not a crowd-pleaser. Nostalgic but nuanced. This is a statement piece, and great for creating an impression. I could see this being an interesting choice for a job interview or in an academic setting. I’ve also had a lot of fun pairing it with other fragrances and unexpectedly, it plays very well with others.

Soap, Black Pepper, clean soil, garden hose, shoe box, oregano, sandalwood. cedar, possibly some ambers? White musk? something dense and animalic lurks in the shadows...I'm starting to suspect that is the smell of my own skin peeking through.

With Peau de Pierre, Daphne Bugey makes it all peppery woods, reminiscent of mahogany, snuggled in wool blankets with the smoke from a distant fire (remember that 70s chestnut?) and nutty, ambrette-like whispers.

Here's another tune: "digging in the dirt, to find the places we got hurt."

I get dirt, mud, soil & smoke. Camping at a park at night , a wood fire-after you spill water on it.
Creative? yes.... interesting? yes... niche? definitely...
But i don't want to smell like this.

just got this as a free gift (7,5 ml & case) from buying xerjoff renaissance. i smell incense with little sweetness with hint of smokiness. i dont feel earthy, i just smell that 2 notes.simply that, leans unisex because of its sweetness. unique fragrance.

I get a powdery, almondy woody scent. I can’t pick up smoke. This is quite powdery to my, but not sweet. It’s a neutral sort of skin scent with a powdery almond twist. It was an instant love for me, and it was quite different than I expected. Unisex leaning feminine to my nose.

Did you smell KENZO AIR Intense?
This is a high copy of air intense.
I like it.

Andy the Frenchy

Opens with a sharp incense, that will quickly calm down towards peppery woods. The drydown is all about ambrette (the major player in the 'creamy soil' effect), supported by amberwood.
Yes I agree... it's a synthetic feeling musky/peppery/woody something... but it's addictive to my nose... what can I do? I love it. Period.
Average performance.

Tricked my nose a little to begin with I got a smooth vanilla, synth orris maybe even ambrette/musk mallow sort of vibe? Then a wool, warm cashmere woods, and the second time I applied it Pierre was much sharper and more straight forward in the opening...it's a tricky fragrance.
Definitely a kind of synth woody amber and that milky sweetened fougere vibe of a Le Male/Reflection man starts to creep in as it dries down.
It's okay, not great though.

I've just come to know three of these Peau de [...] fragrances. Pierre, Soie, & Ailleurs. I'm very pleased with Soie & Pierre - in fact the first thing that came to mind was "Nasomatto" - and that is high praise indeed coming from me! Certainly they have that sheer richness & audacity that makes those Nasomattos so compelling. I've been having a bit of trouble, TBPH, with Ailleurs, as my perception of it was instantly dominated by the aroma of geosmin, with which I am acquainted; and I've 'gotten into a rut' with it of it's seeming to me to be one of those monomolecular fragrances, which I am not a fan of atall-atall - which impression I am hoping to have dispelled when I come to actually wear it. (I don't know any of them yet, other than off-the-blotter.)

But this one, and Soie are just full-on straightforward good fragrances. And I love how smoke is incorporated into this one - very audacious! ... although there are others that have that note, I do realise.

A little tip for use of the plunger on these Starck perfume bottles, which I've already said doesn't seem to me to be very stout: press it down as near to the inside edge as possible - avoid pressing-down at the outside edge.

I'm not so sure now you know. I think I was dazzled a bit by these perfumes' openings & the novelty of them. The aroma's quite pleasant & interesting, & longevity is quite ample ... & all that: but there's something just a bit (or quite a lot) shallow about them - like an article made of thin plastic. I will use them and shall no doubt get considerable enjoyment out of them. But I think they fall a bit short even of the reduced (and was it really reduced?) price.

Elusive
That's what come to mind first about Pierre
And it's not about longevity - bout 6h on skin easily - but about that feeling like it's natural smell of your skin

woody and clean. nothing more. no earthy or smokey note if not slightly at the beginning. 2/10

Q80

Begins woody, soapy, then goes quite soap with doses of mint. I can't detect much of woods later on as it kind of vanishes and goes mint soap.

Well, i already don't like the mint in fragrances but this one is quite fair as it doesn't have that sharp free sugar gum mint kind of smell. Fair after all.

Calvini

Opens like a soapy fougere with almondy background (which I don't care about), then dries down to something fresh-woody and much nicer.
