Robert Piguet - Known as "The Prince of Fashion!"

Robert left his home at a young age to study and explore the world of fashion. He started his own atelier in 1933. Charming and aristocratic, a connoisseur of literature, painting, and decorative arts, Piguet’s success and reputation in Paris continued to flourish. He surrounded himself with Paris’ fashion elite, as well as, a host of the most notable artists of the time. But while Piguet’s impact on fashion is indisputable, it is his fragrance legacy that has made him legendary. Working with perfumer Germaine Cellier in the late 40s, it was Piguet’s Bandit and Fracas that acted as the watershed to a new era in perfumery. These were said to “have a particular feel very characteristic of his trademarks: Strict adherence to good taste, true luxury, a horror of the commonplace and an innate sense of seduction.
