This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights and nights out. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.

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).
