Robert Piguet L'Insomnuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. L'Insomnuit opens with Canadian Fir Balsam, Bergamot, and Plum, settles into a heart of Iris, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Oud. Robert Piguet's L'Insomnuit carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a polarising, powerhouse iris-vanilla with a boozy, fizzy cola vibe that's either a stroke of genius or a headache in a bottle, depending on who you ask. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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.

About

L'Insomnuit opens with a surprising, boozy hit of plum and bergamot, cut with a sharp, camphoric fir balsam. The heart unfurls with an iris note that's less powdery and more rooty, often described as having a gin-like or fizzy cola quality. As it settles, a warm, woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and oud emerges, sweetened by a rich tonka bean, creating a deep, almost gourmand, and long-lasting trail.
