Brands We Love: Noteworthy Milestones at Robert Piguet Parfums

Robert Piguet Parfums is renowned for creating fragrances that are extraordinary in every way. Which is why, in a world where brands come and go, the legendary fragrance house has withstood the test of time.  Celebrity fans as legendary as the scents themselves can’t get enough of the timeless and signature scents: Kerry Washington, Kate Beckinsale, Iman, Linda Evangelista, Uma Thurman, Madonna, Martha Stewart and many more. Robert Piguet’s extensive selection of perfumes have become synonymous with all things chic, audacious, and revolutionary. This Spring, the brand commemorates both the 75th Anniversary of V, formerly Visa, as well as the 10th Anniversary of their Modern Collection.

Originally created in 1947 as a celebration of travel and exploration punctuated by the end of WWII, V, formerly Visa, opens with an initial exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang that embraces luscious bergamot and pear. Sumptuous layers of rose, white peach and cinnamon unfold in the warm heart, hinting at the scent’s sultry demeanor. In an unforgettable finale, the juxtaposition of milky sandalwood and gourmand leather evokes a tempting delicacy.  V de Robert Piguet is exciting and seductive like an unexpected romantic journey.

Continuing its mission to remain a trendsetter in the world of perfumery, Robert Piguet Parfums unveiled a collection of scents in 2012 that challenged the niche fragrance paradigm. Piguet’s Modern Collection was a dizzying dive into fine fragrance with creations so unique that global perfume houses raced to recreate collections that mirrored Piguet’s unbridled passion and creativity. The Modern’s most notable names include:

Casbah – this Robert Piguet Parfums creation is the suggestion of a mysterious and fragrant journey amidst the souks of Marrakech. Bringing a notably exotic element to the family of Piguet scents, Casbah’s followers become immediately engaged and committed to the fragrance’s allure.  Enchanting and mesmerizing, Casbah weaves a tapestry of mystery.

Petit Fracas – an infusion of whimsy and playfulness. With roots of an audacious air — inspired by the iconic Fracas, Petit Fracas’ gentle sweet twists make for a fresh, youthful, and feminine charmer.  Petit Fracas is a chic floral bouquet — perfect for the young and stylish, or the young at heart.

Notes – as with music, a great perfume is more than the sum of its notes. Notes de Robert Piguet is a tribute to some of the most exquisite materials in the perfumer’s palette, a fragrance of exceptional harmony and beauty — unique, memorable, and elegant.
