Robert Piguet Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Aurélien Guichard. Oud opens with Saffron, and settles into a heart of Myrrh, Styrax, and Fir Resin. Robert Piguet's Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, and not for the faint of heart. Robert Piguet's Oud is lauded by some as a "masterpiece" and dismissed by others as a "stink-bomb" - a truly animalic, resinous oud that demands attention. You'll either love its raw, smoky depth or recoil from its 'barnyard' edge.

This is a heavy-hitter with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for office wear. Its complex, animalic nature and formal leanings make it a better fit for evening dates or special formal events, especially in cooler weather. It's too intense for casual or sport settings.

About

It kicks off with a metallic blast of saffron before delving into a rich, complex core of myrrh, styrax, and fir resin, giving it a green, balsamic, and smoky character. The underlying oud emerges as animalic and earthy, rounded out by hints of patchouli. This isn't your typical soft oud; it's a bold, resinous journey.
