What do you get when luxe American fashion designer Douglas Hannant teams up with Robert Piguet, one of the world's most revered french couturiers and perfumers of the 20th century? Well, a bombastic scent which integrates contemporary elegance with timeless chic of course… namely, Douglas Hannant de Robert Piguet.
Aside from his couture, Piguet was perhaps best known for his extraordinary women's perfumes Bandit and Fracas- a wanton pair or perfumes that have withstood a World War and decades of shifting trends only to remain amongst the most-loved in perfumistas collections. American designer Douglas Hannant creates bridal and ready-to-wear fashions that are sensual and elegant, and pay hommage to the female form. It is their shared appreciation for opulence and luxuriousness that resulted in Hannant's collaboration with Parfums Robert Piguet, and gave life to this perfume which is resolutely feminine in style.
Douglas Hannant de Robert Piguet opens with notes of orange blossom, pear and gardenia - sensual blonde nuances that are every bit as narcotising as they are vivacious. Next, a heady bouquet of tuberose rises to the throne and remains the ruling queen of this composition - the excessive, amplified treatment of this tuberose is very bold, very commanding and very Piguet. Finally, a trail of jasmine, sandalwood and musk follows the wearer, just as the train from one of Piguet's or Hannant's exquisite dresses might.
This scent has abundant presence and exceptional staying power. A dense white floral perfume of grandiose proportions.
