Notes (eau de parfum)
Modern Collection
Robert Piguet
Aromatic Fougère
As with music, a great perfume is more than the sum of its notes. Notes de Robert Piguet is a tribute to some of the most exquisite materials in the perfumer’s palette, a fragrance of exceptional harmony and beauty.
The high-pitched prelude of bergamot and clary sage sets the stage for the gentle aria of orange flower and geranium. The exhilarating start leads to the sonorous timbre of oakmoss and tonka bean. The dark tones of costus further deepen the composition, while the green clarity of vetiver lends it an elegant counterpoint. Warm and luxurious, Notes de Robert Piguet is a symphony of sensations.
Notes de Robert Piguet — unique, memorable, and elegant.
Top notes: Clary sage, Bergamot
Heart notes: Orange blossom, Geranium, Costus
Base notes: Tonka bean, Vetiver, Oak moss

A French Kiss In The Garden
A particular outstanding one in a field of Scarlet Spiral Flag or French Kiss in the botanic gardens. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.
Two stops of negative exposure compensation was needed for this shot. Colours were straight-out-of the camera. When composing, I would usually place the subject off centre for a stronger composition but with some exceptions. This was just one of those exceptional cases.
