A closer look at the picks
Robert Piguet Fracas (Eau de Parfum, 1948) comes across as powdery floral bouquet with juicy citrus and moss; the notes run from hyacinth and bergamot to moss, cedar and musk. Robert Piguet Bandit (Eau de Parfum, 1944) reads as green aldehydes, garden flowers, and leathery musk, opening on aldehydes and galbanum and drying down to oakmoss, leather and civet. Robert Piguet Petit Fracas (Eau de Parfum, 2012) smells of sweet pear and mandarin, floral cream musk, with mandarin orange and pear up top and musk, sandalwood and cocoa underneath.
