Robert Piguet Rue du Cirque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Hamid Merati-Kashani. Rue du Cirque opens with Bergamot and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vetiver. Robert Piguet's Rue du Cirque carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dead ringer for Delina, others swear blind it's a Fracas flanker that went rogue. What everyone agrees on is that it's a marvellous, fresh-spicy-floral dream. A definite crowd-pleaser, if a little confused about its own identity.

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

Opens with an invigorating burst of bergamot and a warm, fresh pop of nutmeg, setting a lively tone. The heart unfurls into a beautiful bouquet of lily of the valley, jasmine, and geranium, offering a verdant and gently rosy floral core. It settles into a refined base of earthy vetiver, clean musk, and a subtle amber, providing a sophisticated, lasting embrace without veering too masculine.
