About This Perfume

Think Creamy gardenia with powdery black-leather warmth: that is Robert Piguet Gardenia. It opens with lily and ylang-ylang, moves into gardenia and settles on black leather, cashmeran and Bourbon vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 2014.

In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something floral and sweet for date nights.
  • Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.

Around $235.

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.
