Robert Piguet: Timeless Elegance. Robert Piguet: Elegância Atemporal

 




As coleções dos perfumes Robert Piguet são, em minha opinião, uma das que mais representam perfumes de nicho hoje. Os perfumes são extremamente bem elaborados, de boa qualidade, elegantes, ousados e diferentes.  E a última coleção “Nouvelle Collection” não deixa nada a desejar aos clássicos, Fracas, Visa, Bandit, Baghari, Cravache, Calypso e Douglas Hannant.

Durante minha visita ao stand da marca, fui informada que na realidade existe uma coleção ainda mais recente chamada Pacific Collection, contendo três EDP: Blossom, Chaí e Jeunesse que originalmente seria vendida somente na região do Pacífico, pois foi desenhada especificamente para a região. Mas, após muitos pedidos, como me explicou detalhadamente a simpática e gentil diretora de comunicação Beyly Ledes, a comercialização será também realizada neste lado do globo em breve. Boa notícia, pois as três fragrâncias são deliciosas, delicadas e modernas. Acho que se ajustaria muito ao gosto do Brasileiro também.

Voltando a falar da marca. Para aqueles que não conhecem a história de Robert Piguet, aqui vai um resumo, pois a marca tem tradição e iniciou primeiramente no mundo fashion em 1933.  Ele se tornou conhecido pela delicadeza de seus vestidos para manhã e da tarde, uma certa exuberância de cores em roupas para a noite e pelo corte perfeito de seus ternos de flanela cinza fina ... cada coleção um reflexo de seu olho infalível, simplicidade refinada e da qualidade Piguet definida poe elegância. Em grande estilo. Em caráter. Na inspiração. E, depois, claro, vieram as fragrâncias, uma contribuição de magnitude incomparável. Foi observado que os perfumes Piguet de - Fracas Bandit, e Baghari, "têm uma sensação especial, muito característico de suas marca registrada: a estrita observância do bom gosto, o verdadeiro luxo, o horror a lugar-comum e um senso inato de sedução" verdadeiros clássicos de beleza atemporal e valor que vai muito além de estação e tendência. E assim, apesar de Robert Piguet ter fechado a Casa em 1951 e morrido em 1953, tudo o que ele realizou e viveu, vive nas mulheres que entendem sua enorme contribuição a moda contemporânea e que se cercam da elegância e bom gosto de Piguet através dos seus perfumes que usam e adoram como uma assinatura de estilo pessoal.


A Nouvelle Collection está diponível nas lojas de departamento de luxo e todos os 6 perfumes EDP foram criados pelo perfumista Aurelien Guichard. São eles:

Bois Noir: A escuridão de madeiras preciosas, o calor enfumaçado de bálsamos, a doçura de âmbares ricos. Com Bois Noir, Robert Piguet introduz um elixir lenhosa de vanguarda para a sua coleção. Bois Noir combina elegância Piguet icônico com um requinte moderno, oferecendo uma fragrância sofisticada e opulenta para aqueles que não têm medo de fazer uma declaração de estilo.

Casbah: Uma viagem para Marrocos, uma fragrância evocativa e hipnotizante. Inspirado por Marrakech, Casbah combina o calor de especiarias marroquinas com a elegância austera do Atlas cedro e arredonda a composição com Iris fresca.

Mademoiselle Piguet: Ela é delicada e irresistível, inocente e sensual, parte Lolita e parte Louise Brooks. Com Mademoiselle Piguet, Robert Piguet Parfums escolheu homenagear as associações românticas e sensuais de flor de laranjeira. Mademoiselle Piguet é uma fragrância floral da nova geração, mas seu caráter sedutor torna um complemento perfeito para a família Piguet de obras-primas femininos.

Notes: Tal como acontece com a música, um perfume grande é mais do que a soma de suas notas. No entanto, em contraste com a melodia musical, a qualidade das notas de perfume é essencial para uma experiência memorável. Notas de Robert Piguet é uma homenagem a alguns dos materiais mais requintados na paleta do perfumista, uma fragrância de harmonia e beleza excepcional.

Oud: uma resina rara liberada por espécies de árvores Aquilaria, tem uma fragrância de beleza assombrosa tal que inspirou muitas lendas e histórias. Robert Piguet Parfums cria o seu próprio conto de fadas tecendo uma tapeçaria opulenta de aromáticos e precioso oud. Quente como ventos do deserto e suave como a seda.

Petit Fracas: O perfume tem um ar audacioso, inspirado pelo icônico Fracas. Petit é fresco, jovem e feminino, com uma inocência lúdica. Graciosa e encantadora, Petit Fracas abre com notas citricas frescas e de pêra.

Tenham uma excelente e perfumada semana!

ENGLISH VERSION:



The collections of perfumes Robert Piguet are, in my opinion, one that the most represent niche perfumery today. Perfumes are extremely well done, of good quality, elegant, daring and different. And the latest collection "Nouvelle Collection" leaves nothing to be desired to the classics, Fracas, Visa, Bandit, Baghari, Cravache, Calypso or Douglas Hannant.


During my visit to the stand of the brand, I was informed that in fact there is an even more recent collection called Pacific Collection, containing three EDP: Blossom, Chai and Jeunesse that was originally sold only in the Pacific region, because it was designed specifically for that culture. But, after many requests, as explained in detail by the friendly and nice director of communication Beyly Ledes, it will also be sold on this side of the globe soon.
Good news, for the three fragrances are delicious, delicate and modern. I think it would fit very well the taste of the Brazilians.


Now, back to the brand. For those unfamiliar with the story of Robert Piguet, here's a summary, since the brand has tradition and began first in the fashion world in 1933.
He rapidly became known for the delicacy and reserve of his morning and afternoon dresses, a certain flamboyance of color in clothes for evening and for the perfect cut of his thin grey flannel suits…every collection a reflection of his infallible eye, refined simplicity and the quality that most defined Piguet: elegance. In style. In character. In inspiration. And, then, of course, there are the fragrances, a contribution of unrivalled magnitude. It has been observed that Piguet’s perfumes – Bandit, Fracas and Baghari, “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” True classics of timeless beauty and value that endure far beyond season and trend. And so, although Robert Piguet closed his House in 1951 and died in 1953, all that he accomplished and lived for lives on in women who see and understand his enormous influence on contemporary fashion and its creators, and who surround themselves with the aura of Piguet’s elegance and taste through the perfumes they wear and cherish as a personal signature of style.

The Nouvelle Collection is available in luxury department stores and all 6 EDP fragrances were created by perfumer Aurelien Guichard. They are:

Bois Noir: The darkness of precious woods, the smoky warmth of balsams, the sweetness of rich ambers. With Bois Noir, Robert Piguet introduces an avant-garde woody elixir to its collection. Bois Noir combines iconic Piguet elegance with modern refinement, offering a sophisticated and opulent fragrance for those who are not afraid to make a style statement.

Casbah: Robert Piguet Parfums invites you for a magic carpet ride to Morocco with Casbah, an evocative and mesmerizing fragrance. Inspired by Marrakech, Casbah blends the warmth of Moroccan spices with the austere elegance of Atlas cedarwood and rounds out the composition with cool iris.

Mademoiselle Piguet: She is delicate and irresistible, innocent and sultry, part Lolita and part Louise Brooks. With Mademoiselle Piguet, Robert Piguet Parfums has chosen to pay tribute to both the romantic and sensual associations of orange blossom. Mademoiselle Piguet is a new generation floral fragrance, but its alluring character makes it a perfect addition to the Piguet family of feminine masterpieces.

Notes: As with music, a great perfume is more than the sum of its notes. However, in contrast to musical melody, the quality of perfume notes is essential for a memorable experience. 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.

Oud: Oud, a rare resin released by Aquilaria tree species, has a fragrance of such haunting beauty that it has inspired many legends and stories. Robert Piguet Parfums creates its own fairytale by weaving an opulent tapestry of oud and precious aromatics. Hot like desert winds and smooth like heavy silk, Oud de Robert Piguet is a glimpse into another world and an invitation to partake in a beautiful fantasy.

Petit Fracas: Play the game of love with Petit Fracas de Robert Piguet. The scent has an audacious air, inspired by our iconic Fracas. Petit is fresh, youthful and feminine, with a playful innocence. Flirtatious and charming, Petit Fracas opens with notes of fresh citrus and pear.



Have an excellent and fragrant week!
