Mademoiselle Piguet

The House Of Piquet is my favorite. I've worn Fracas for over 30 years as my signature, I've never found another perfume enough to wear as much as my beloved Fracas. I had been intrigued by Mademoiselle Piquet for quite a while and finally purchased as a blind buy. I would never returned a perfume unless it was defective and then I exchanged for new one. If I don't like something I blindly purchased, I will give it away. Rarely do I spend a significant amount of money unless I know I will like tea fragrance. I think Mademoiselle Piquet is absolutely lovely and I am so happy that I took the leap. With only 5 notes, this one is nice and easy to detect the notes. In opening I smell the almond and apricot together. Moments later, the bergamot enters and adds a citrus scent into the mix. Not long thereafter the orange blossom appears and blends beautifully with the other notes. Finally the tonka bean enters giving a bit of a musky, earthy spice. The top notes will fade away into background but still vaguely detectable, leaving dry down a semi fruity sweet woodsy musk smelling. I get hints of vanilla and dark accords like a petal noir vide. I'm guessing it's the tonka bean over the orange blossom. Orange Blossom and Tonka Bean are 2 of my favorites. I purchased a set of Mademoiselle Piquet with the lotion now as I'm almost finished my first bottle. As you will read in the reviews, the feelings about this are mixed. I give this a 10/10. I do recommend a sample before committing to full size as I feel it's an unnecessary waste to return an item just because it was bought on a whim and now it's not what we wanted. Obviously I have a problem with returning perfumes unless defective. Many returns are destroyed and brands will raise prices to lost money. You can always visit the Piguet counters at Neiman's and Saks to sample. Also find samples online. I will keep this beautiful fragrance in my collection as long as I live.

finally got a chance to try this today and i was not disappointed. on my skin, at first it smells very green and bit fruity. not that interesting, but a smell i like. than quickly the green grassy goes away and the fruity really kicks in with a soft floral. this is the part where it smells a lot of l'ombre from diptyque, a scent i love on paper and in the air but horrible on my skin. but behind fruit floral, i can smell a very distinct mung bean note. i dont think this fragrance have mung bean as an ingredient, (actually it would be very interesting to incorporate this into a perfume, someday) but whatever the notes it is that bang together to create this mung bean smell truly taken me by surprise. since the ingredients are so minimal, i can only assume it is the combination of tonka bean and orange blossom. obviously because i dont smell mung bean in fragrances often or at all. many non-asians probably would not know what green bean smells like, but this particular one from mademoiselle piguet is more of a processed mung bean dessert/ice cream, rather than raw uncooked green bean. it has a milky sweetness to it. because i grew up eating a lot of green bean related desserts, so this is a very comforting and innocent scent to me. definitely unique to my nose because i would never thought i would smell this kind of mixture in a perfume. but now that i have, i have to say this is my favorite robert piguet scent. though i like fracas (which is way way way too popular) and dogulas hannant (similar to fracas but less known), i would say mademoiselle piguet is the winner for me. an unique scent that i hope wont go mainstream anytime soon.

This fragrance of Piguet is drawn on a flower of ahazar quite realistic and natural. The bergamot opens this agreement in a fresh, luminous way as if the day was bright and sunny, there already appear notes of orange blossom, from the very beginning, this beginning is a nebulous, narcotic and this causes this fragrance to expand, Is a very fresh white floral. It's like when you pass near an orange tree in bloom and its aroma calls you to approach you to smell it. The fruity note of peach from behind assembles very well this arrangement of white flowers embodying sweetness, it also adds spongyness and a soft and feminine background character, from here the white flowers are gaining ground and they are becoming more patented, just as When you bring your nose to an orange blossom and pull it up, there are green and aquatic facets, like sap that runs along this stem and it feels there, crisp, fresh, like drops of dew that fall on the stem and you can perceive it This olfactory path of aroma soliflore. The drying of tonka more seems vanilla because of the sweetness it brings to the mixture and would have combined with a little musk to set and melts well in the skin. The arrangement seems simple, but it is very blunt and overwhelming, it is well done and keeps you enjoying the fragrance all the time. Very good duration with moderate projection that makes it great for the day and also "why not" I find a certain unisex character I liked it a lot. Rating: 8

A bubblegum white floral but very well done, and still somehow manages to stay fresh, green and creamy all at the same time. I am really loving this fragrance for the Summer days where it’s not too sweltering hot, but the extra sunshine helps this fragrance to bloom (literally) to its full potential. I get the orange blossom note most prominently, the next closest thing I smell may be the almond. I don’t smell the smoked or spicy quality of tonka beans, this is much more smooth.I would’ve thought this would have vanilla. That is what I smell more than anything, along with the orange blossom. The sweetness makes this floral fragrance more mellow, sometimes orange blossom can actually smell waxy or bitter, especially when combined with other florals, luckily here it does not. Performance is also great, it’s long lasting and sillage is noticeable, but not cloying even in the summertime. It lasts all day and leaves me feeling fresh and sweet. What more could you want?

I thought I had my fragranced picked out for Mother’s Day but I switched and changed my mind to this Mademoiselle Piguet. This is the epitome of white floral! I smell the almond and orange blossom right away and it in beast mode form. It can be very tropical smelling also This lasts forever and leaves a definite trail for everyone around you to enjoy. If you like white floral blast this is for you Piguet fragrances are well blended and excellent in quality. I have the OG Fracas and it is a beautiful gardenia. It’s unfortunate that no one mentions or talks about this house because it is really good! You can also get this at reasonable price . Highly recommended 10/10 My take on this is sophisticated fragrance which can be worn as a unisex scent.
