Robert Piguet Futur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Aurélien Guichard. Futur opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Violet Leaf, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Robert Piguet's Futur carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart, or those expecting a modern crowd-pleaser. Futur is a polarising green floral, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that proudly harks back to an earlier era. If you're after something distinct and uncompromisingly green, this might be your jam - otherwise, proceed with caution and maybe a sample first.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Sport
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate performance makes it versatile enough for daily wear, though its unique and sometimes harsh character means it's not universally office-friendly. The strong green profile lends itself well to casual and outdoor sport occasions, while its divisive nature might make it less ideal for intimate dates or formal events.

About

Futur plunges you into a vivid, almost shocking greenness, like hacking through a jungle with a machete. Sharp bergamot and neroli cut through, quickly followed by a medley of jasmine and violets, adding a dewy, almost metallic floral core. The base grounds this verdant journey with earthy vetiver, cedar, and patchouli, creating a complex, vintage-leaning composition that's utterly unique and defiantly old-school.
