Notes, from Robert Piguet was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is Aurélien Guichard. It has the top notes of Bergamot and Clary Sage, middle notes of Costus, Geranium, and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Oakmoss, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
Not a good effort this one from Robert Piguet. I have to say despite the vast majority of perfumes from this house not being to my taste, they at least have an inherent quality and imagination. The opening is a mixture of citrus and sage which is not prominent enough for my liking because it quickly transitions into a mixture of orange blossom and Tonka bean which is the main problem for me...they don't work together to my taste. Something in this fragrance just doesn't sit right with me either it could be (although I can't smell maybe can be percieved?) the geranium and costus??? It does have a dated feel with the oakmoss not really complementing the other notes. Maybe this should've been called... 'NOTES(that don't work!)' The drydown after about 7 hours became a musty, stale skin odour not great. As you can tell by now I really don't like this one but some might. Not a scrubber but I didn't enjoy the drydown and one of the few in the range that is perceived to be more masculine. Longevity was okay just not my bag.
