The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Oud by Robert Piguet is a woody-oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Aurélien Guichard. This composition begins with the luminous warmth of saffron and transitions into a rich heart of myrrh, balsam fir, and styrax, before settling into an opulent base of agarwood (Oud), patchouli, and guaiac wood. Each note adds layers to the overall aroma, creating a scent that is both complex and captivating. The rare resin Oud has inspired countless legends, and Robert Piguet's rendition weaves this precious aromatic into an intricate blend.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for maximum effect. The aromatic top notes are vivid but short-lived, so allow time for the warm spicy base to fully emerge. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from a distance.
