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.

I love this on my skin. It is lovely. This is the first Robert Piguet frag that I've owned. Now I want to try others. It's delicate and unique. I've never had problems with too many frags going salty or sour or weird on my skin. I did however buy a fragrance primer for just that and I use it sometimes especially in hot humid weather when I get a little unwanted notes popping up. I have been stopped twice by men asking me what I was wearing so they could buy for whoever. I get apricot and orange blossom mostly. The tonka is smooth and adds a subtle warmth. Sillage is more than a skin scent for sure and I would say it is rather large but never sharp. Lasts all day and night on my skin.

What an intriguing floral. On the opening it is intensely neroli. So much so that I thought there was pepper present! That thankfully wains quickly and then the bergamot and tonka are very evident. The osmanthus is just about detectable but I would have liked much more of it. This is no sweet mainstream floral but a fresh sophisticated one. The neroli, almonds and tonka combine to almost smell like cacao powder on me. Tonka is quite a warm sweet note and it softens and rounds out the potentially harsh neroli beautifully. It almost smells like my favourite Indian dessert kulphi with the almond note. The sillage and the longevity are moderate. The more I wear it the more I love it.

Spring in a bottle. If you are a white floral person, this ones for you. It’s so pretty and soft,not 7our screaming sharp white floral at all. This is a keeper! The spillage is good even as it fades to a creamier version of the first spray. Sillage is just perfect. Pretend you are in a garden and taking a walk in a lovely flowing dress..... I sprayed this on after my shower went to bed and had the most pleasant dreams. This morning I’m still smelling this fragrance. It’s truly putting me in a great mood. Robert Piguet is so underrated, except for Fracas. Highly recommended

This is a masterpiece! I love orange flower and am now obsessed with this! Omg! Juicy delicious oranges, apricots, pepper, and almonds! Sweet but fresh. It smells alot like anathousla white tuberose but this is fresher. It smells sophisticated and yummy. The oranges pair up with the apricot giving this a warm intoxicating quality. After hours of oranges it dries down to a slightly soapy slightly powdered almond. Sillage is great on my skin and longevity is at least 6 hours. Im in love ;) Thank you smellagent for the sample!!

I don't get apricot. I get tuberose with pepper and cinnamon. I like it, though. It's just very very spicy. I have a full bottle but haven't worn it long enough to know how others react to it on me. It's like a young woman'a version of fracas maybe? But there really isn't overwhelming tuberose I really get pepper and cinnamon. I'm undecided on this as of yet - but I will say it is unique and if you're looking to be unique and wear something other people haven't worn or smelled then give this a try.

Beautiful deliciously sweet honeyed Orange Blossoms in full bloom! Stunning!!! I love this so much, must get a bottle asap. If your an Orange Blossom fan, please do try this, it is so sweet its like honey has been added for good measure. I find this is incredibly strong & long lasting, which is also a huge plus. There are so many Orange Blossom perfumes out there of course, this would be comparable to "sweet redemption" more so, but not like 4711 for example

Interesting that the other person didn't get the tuberose out of this. The tuberose in this still does remind me of fracas but it isn't a copy of fracas. It's much spicier. It's younger. I feel badly the other person didn't like it, I do have fracas and several other Piguet scents. Also have an almost new coco Chanel I want to trade. Msg me if interested in trading.

Lighthearted and delicious! This makes me feel so carefree and happy. What a gorgeous orange flower blend- it's light and clean thanks to fresh bergamot, a tad bitter but that's fleeting; fruity apricot and slightly sweet almonds accentuate that bubble gum quality I'm apparently obsessed with. It feels glamorous even so.. this is me in a bottle.

There are a lot of reviews so I guess nobody need mine, but... I just « need » to say how wonderful this juice smells! The deep and dark green citrus leaves, gleaming and yet slightly bitter from the neroli, and the velvety summer fruit, sweet, thick, deliciously powdered. The balance is so perfect it could make you cry.

Bought a sample and on the first spray it opened up with a very strange lice shampoo type smell, but as it's drying down I smell a beautiful orange blossom, it reminds me of the gardenia lotion from bath and body works 😍 makes me feel like a fabulous French woman! Will definitely buy!

I Love this perfume! I find it to be a very low key, smooth type of sweet. It's floral, sweet with a bit of almond. It has a yummy factor to a very expensive beautiful perfume. I do not wear it too often because of the price to replace my bottle, otherwise I would wear it regularly.

Initially all I get is swamped in white flowers, almost too much for me. It cools after a half hour or so to a crispy bed of beautiful fruits and flowers. I smell no almonds. It smells like a lovely spring garden breeze.

This is exquisite- subtle and very feminine- Orange blossoms mingled with apricot, tonka and almonds is creating a delectable mixture on my skin-

It's a nice perfume, well worth a try. On me the bergamot is just a little bit to strong and the combination with the equally strong orange blossom, apricot and almond is not really what I'm looking for. It's sweet, creamy, green, fresh and powdery at the same time and to me that's a bit of a clash of notes. I'll keep a sample of it and use every now and then, because it is a good solid perfume and may be better in warmer weather. I like it better on people around me, it's nice to catch a whiff of it. The price is decent and it is longlasting.

Very interesting, Orange Blossom , almond, apricot , bergamot to bend it all. Now that sound straight out of Provence , Mediterranean ! Definitely going to hunt this one, finally an Orange Blossom without jasmin or a white flower parade ! Thanks for your tip rosecat ! Edit Update : Thanks to Rosecat , I had the privilege to try this mesmerising fragrance . It is a masterpiece ! I am in love and is on my top 5 without a doubt ! That what I call classy , blossomy with such warm depth .

Fresh take on orange blossom, the bergamot provides some zest that lifts the mood of this perfume. Very feminine and perfect for summer. The tonka rounds out the scent and the almonds and apricot provide a hint of sweetness. Unfortunately, I hate the way almonds smell, which turns this from a love to a like. Make sure you love all the notes before you buy this, they are almost equally noticeable.

When I smell this perfume, I think of the color white - pure as in a wedding dress, like white flowers - like happy and positive thoughts. I would wear it if I wear white and want to express confidence, femininity, and strength - I like it very much.

A simple yet beautiful orange blossom. It’s honeyed, and so smooth the texture feels buttery. I don’t detect almond, nor find this fruity. Just a bubblegum-sweet and creamy floral. Love it!

On me it unbalanced and disjointed, Orange blossom given facets that make it loud and harsh. Not happy with the way it develops on me.

Tested this one today and my impression of it on my skin is that it smells almost like a shampoo type of scent. For that reason, I'm not fond of it when comparing it to many of the other Piguet perfumes. With that being said, it is absolutely pleasant, would not offend anyone, could definitely be worn in an office environment. I just find this one a bit boring. It has already turned into a skin scent on me today after about two hours. I really thought I was going to love this one based on the notes, but I'm not smelling most of the listed notes.

Bubblegum and almond extract. That's how it reads on my skin. I wish I got something more but that's all I'm getting. I tried it twice since purchased and thought the second time I would be able to discriminate more of the notes, but I can't because for some reason my nose is zeroing in on those two notes making me unable to smell anything else. I'm not a fan of bubblegum florals and that seems to be the dominant note in this perfume. Normally, I would put a perfume I was having a hard time with aside for a while and try again at a future date. But, since I'm not really crazy about the composition to begin with and doubt my perception will change much in the future, this is a pass for me.

In MADEMOISELLE by Piguet there is something awful on my skin, so I can't stand it. It started delightful and I do love some neroli, but then something happens. MADEMOISELLE has this weird feeling of salty/aquatic undertones that just completely ruins the scent for me. And unfortunately it is not the first time this happens and yet I can't put my finger on what combination of notes is the reason this happens. So, if in any case you do have a history of saltiness ruining a scent for you - approach MADEMOISELLE with caution.

I just got a full bottle of this because I was under the mistaken impression that it smelled similar to Fracas but sadly it does not. I gave a small spray on the inside of my arm and within 15 minutes I had to scrub it off. I don't think I can use this. Aargh! I would love to trade it if anyone's interested.

I really wanted to like this but I keep flip flopping back and forth. I love the idea of it because it seems so refreshing and unique, but at the same time there is some terrible sharp note I keep getting whiffs of that is completely off putting to me. It must just not play nicely with my skin.

I cannot wait for the dry down......initial spray was horrendous on my skin. Yet within 15 minutes it has changed 3 times; getting a little better. My skin LOVES orange blossom, but this opening is SO sharp. I will give it a bit, and, if it stays screechy, I will scrub scrub scrub. Very odd...

This will definitely not be on my buy list; the sniff test seemed OK at best, but on my skin it was terrible. An overly sweet, overwhelming floral that had a very synthetic tone. The fragrance never really varied and I got none of the tonka or any other tones. Did not work for me.

It opens very sharply, and then goes down to white floral and classic, after the dry down smells nicer. Do not buy blindly you might not like.it or might not work with your skin, I had a decant and I did not like it enough to get a full bottle

Not for me, this one! Something sweet and cloying and artificial IMHO. Even if I am not fond of a fragrance, I usually give it time for both of us to calm down. Couldn't this time. A scrubber.

This is literally a rotting fruit with some hints of orange blossom. Very unpleasant.

Robert Piguet is a house known for his white florals. Fracas is the most popular scent from this brand; a heady, buttery tuberose which is proven to be quite the head-turner. Mademoiselle Piguet on the otherhand is a much sweeter, more demure white floral. Mademoiselle Piguet opens with zesty, green bergamot and somewhat bitter neroli. The top notes tend to be very citric and fresh, which took me a little by surprise at first. The heart is much sweeter with a syrupy-sweet orange blossom accord with a hint of juicy apricot and powdered almonds. Whilst testing this fragrance I couldn't help feeling that this was created with the younger consumers in mind. The fluro pink plaque on the bottle and the name 'Mademoiselle' further implicated this. Re-reading the description of this fragrance on Robert Piguet's official website, they describe Mademoiselle Piguet as "a new generation floral fragrance". I am admittedly more smitten with Robert Piguet's classic collection for their boldness and elegance. Mademoiselle Piguet although extremely wearable, doesn't excite me. I adore orange blossom fragrances, however this particular scent is a tad too sweet and citrusy for my liking.

Mademoiselle is an orange blossom / neroli scent. It isn't sweet but it isn't green either. Tonka keeps it from being too fresh . I cannot smell any bergamote which usually means freshness to me. I cannot smell any powder or bitterness like in Prada orange either ... I am not sure this is a good thing, Orange blossom and tonka here give the impression of something creamy and very classy. It's definitely high quality, even though a bit more complex than I like my florals. For florals I prefer soliflores and nature like scents . Still beautiful and ladylike. The bottle is black , typical Piguet. Recommended to white floral lovers, it's beautiful and elegant, quite mature, not exactly mademoiselle . Unless you compare it to auntie Fracas .

Initial blast reminds me of the jasmine in Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth, from when I was a kid in sixth grade. Wow a quick transport for me back to my childhood, but that disappears and a sweetened bubblegum jasmine and orange blossom accord make their way past the crisp green neroli and bergamot. I have smelled the apricot for a slight second with a deep huff against my skin. This absolutely blooms on my skin, a gorgeous sweet but not cloying, powdery white floral. It reminds me of what the color pink would smell like for some reason..maybe because i am thinking of the hot pink used on the packaging. A definite keeper for my scent wardrobe!

This is a masterpiece. First blast: lemon / bergamot ~ this accord calms down and steps out of the way fairly quickly. Enter the orange flower ~ it's very soapy at first, but it softens quickly. At this point, the whole composition starts to feel like a much higher quality Orchid Soleil. The scents are not similar ~ and there is not tuberose in Mademoiselle ~ but they both buzz on your skin and dance around, and somehow manage to be creamy and powdery at the same time. I do get almond powder and hints of apricot skin in the base ~ no lie. They did a wonderful job when they created this. This is stunningly beautiful, but not for me.

Hot / warm distant cousin to Fracas . The white floral mixes with the almond & the fruit . Intoxicating , heady and best of all- I don't have anything else to compare this to. Only slightly sweet and slightly challenging . One of Piguet's best offerings . This is not widely loved because Piguet has almost NO retail presence in the USA. I think Nordstrom or Saks has a tiny 20 inch counter top in their store with some bottles to sample. YES: there is a TOM FORD Orchil Soleil vibe in there . BUT no "corn tortilla" smell !

Tjis perfume is fascinating. The citrus note is sometimes green and crisp like lemon balm or citronella. Sometimes it feels more like neroli or lime peel. The apricot is sweet and a little spicy and not as cloying as other apricots I've smelled. The almond is light and powdery it doesn't have any cherry mixed in it and it's not bitter. As for the orange blossom, it's always present but it doesn't stand out as much as I would have expected.

The fragrance starts with a soft greeny bergamot, and little by little comes out the special orange blossom mixed with fresh apricot, the tonka bean makes it a very very sensual drydown. Supposed to be almond, but is not obvious to me... Will be a very light note. The scent is very french and feminine. Has a romantic air, classy with modern view. Is a spring floral, but wearable all year. Very long lasting and noticeable.

The opening of Mademoiselle Piguet truly smells almost exactly like TF Orchid Soleil! I sprayed them on each wrist and can’t tell the difference - wow. If I had only known before splurging on a full bottle of TFOS....... Edit: upon wearing it now for a few days, it also has a jasminey-laundry undertone to it as Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine. MP is lovelyyyyy, and the staying power is forever!!

One of my favorite perfumes of all time and nothing else really smells like this even though she is "cousin" to Fracas. The dry down is beautiful and this has some nice projection. This is sweet and there is a "spice" going on - that is keeping this lively. But no spices are listed- it's an abstraction . The color of the bottle (black & magenta) matches the smell. GRADE: A +.

Bursting with glorious sunny orange blossoms, slightly flavored with apricot and almond! Add a dash of bergamot and lime, and this perfume is delicious. Not too sweet, not too tart. I love Luten's Fleurs d'Oranger and Jo Malone's Orange Blossom. Both are gorgeous variants on orange blossom scents. Mademoiselle Piguet gives me another, with excellent sillage and longevity!

Ahhhhhhhh........ohhhhhh....... This is a wonder and more people need to know about it! It has a touch of the Fracas DNA with neroli, tonka and peach. It's dreamy and creamy. Soft and lady like. Reminds me a tad of Hermes 24 Foubourg . Very very summer & springtime. Very very wedding-y. Blind Buy ? YES- but you must like all the notes listed and like Fracas a little bit.

Got a sample of this. Love the warm powdery scent with subtle peach undertone. Starts off a bit chemical but warms up quickly. Agree with others that it could be classidied as a milky tuberose. I think it would be good if layered with something else. Its good, but ever so slightly off on its own. Not sure I would purchase, but definitely considering

A lovely orange flower floral, a green citrus and tartness from the bergamot with the tonka and apricot adding a layer of creaminess. it's not very sweet and very little powder. It is lovely alas there is no projection whatsoever, it's a skin scent and I'm not a fan of skin scents. To me, it could've been so much more...Very disappointing.

This is BETTER than Fracas . Ignore all the pissy negitive reviews on here. If you're thinking about buying Fracas, you may want to SAMPLE this first. I'm pretty sure Nordstrom has a Piguet table/counter in USA stores: Note that when traveling to a big city or upscale area. P.S. This is less expensive than Fracas as well.

I really wanted this to work on me. But it didn't. It ended up smelling sour on me probably from the petitgrain and neroli not being blended well enough next to the orange blossom. This is a warm, golden, sweet and resinous Orange blossom but not realistic like Jo Malone and not as good as Serge Lutens FdO.

Undervalued Gems: The One. If you can get to a "big mall" with a Saks or Neiman Marcus - they have small Piguet counters - and hopefully this will be there to sample for free. This is better than Fracas ; but retains a bit of the "buttery" feeling . P.S. This is cheaper than Fracas as well !
