About This Perfume

Think Fresh white tea with green, slightly woody chai: that is Robert Piguet Chai. It opens with bergamot leaf, moves into beeswax absolute and white tea and settles on maté absolute and oak. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2012.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
  • Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike green fragrances.

Around $225.

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.
