Robert Piguet

Robert Piguet was a great fashion designer in 1930s in Paris and he was known as “the Prince of fashion”. “He 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”. 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.”
