About This Perfume
Think smoky, resinous oud incense over dark wood: that is Robert Piguet Oud. It opens with saffron, moves into fir balsam, myrrh and styrax and settles on patchouli, Oud and gaiac wood. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $255.

Robert Piguet is a golden-age French couture perfumery whose signature masterpieces, Fracas (1948, the tuberose benchmark) and Bandit (1944, the green-leather chypre), helped define mid-century Parisian fragrance. Families split fresh (9), woody (6), floral (5) and gourmand (5). Prices sit in the niche band, about $60 to $255, most core pieces near $215. Top accords are woody, spicy, floral, sweet and green. Standout live picks: Fracas Eau Fraîche (cool citrus florals, powdery musk and sandalwood, the tuberose classic in a lighter concentration, $60), Bandit Suprême (green mossy leather, floral neroli on skin, $235), Alameda (powdery rose and bergamot cream, softly animal, $96.91), Cravache (fresh lemon herb cologne with green patchouli, $235), Baghari (bright citrus and white florals with soft vanilla musk, $225).
