Robert Piguet Notes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Aurélien Guichard. Notes opens with Bergamot and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Geranium, and Costus, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Robert Piguet's Notes carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a quality, versatile fresh scent, whilst others are left wanting more character, finding it a touch generic or dated, particularly from a house like Piguet. It's safe, but that's not always a compliment.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Notes opens with a crisp, herbal burst of bergamot and clary sage, quickly giving way to a floral heart where orange blossom and geranium dance with a subtle, animalic warmth from costus. As it settles, a classic chypre base emerges, grounding the composition with earthy vetiver and oakmoss, softened by a hint of tonka bean's creamy sweetness.
