Robert Piguet Fragrances

Robert Piguet's legacy took shape in fashion as the master who trained the eyes of couture’s most recognized names and second, as the man that forever changed the world of fragrance. Robert Piguet taught me the virtues of simplicity through which true elegance must come,” wrote Christian Dior who years earlier, was a penniless artist who would eventually become one of Piguet’s most celebrated “stagiares”. Other names that trained at The House of Piguet read like a Who’s Who of haute couture including Hubert de Givenchy, Marc Bohan, Pierre Balmain, and James Galanos. But while Piguet’s impact on fashion is indisputable, it is his fragrance legacy that has made him legendary. Working with perfumer Germaine Cellier in the late ‘40s, it was Piguet’s Bandit and Fracas that acted as the watershed to a new era in perfumery. These were said to “have a particular feel very characteristic of his trademarks: Strict adherence to good taste, true luxury, a horror of the commonplace and an innate sense of seduction.” Although Piguet died at the age of 55, his extraordinary accomplishments live on in the women who understand his enormous influence on contemporary fashion, and who surround themselves with the aura of Piguet’s elegance with his fragrances. Today, with an unrivaled collection of some of the world’s most coveted scents, Robert Piguet’s name endures.
