Robert Piguet

Piguet - Zazen

Zazen by Robert Piguet, which owes its name to a traditional meditation practice from Zen Buddhism, is dedicated to living in the here and now. Mindfulness is its guiding principle: Zazen celebrates the silence that marks the beginning of every journey to the self.

The ingredients of Zazen blend seamlessly into a harmonious whole: Green apple and mandarin bring us moments of deep clarity with their tart, juicy fruit freshness, while saffron grounds the fragrance with its woody, spicy notes. Hints of rice transport us to a secluded temple, surrounded by the bright green foliage of violets, allowing us to linger in the moment. Nectar-sweet, delicately creamy orange blossoms impart cheerful serenity, while the base notes of musk, tonka, and ambergris round out the fragrance, evoking the seductive warmth of skin.

A fragrance of the present, of finding oneself. A haven of peace that promises contentment – Zazen.

The famous fashion designer and perfumer Robert Piguet was born in 1898 in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. At the age of 17, despite fierce opposition from his family, he moved to Paris, where his first attempt to make a name for himself in the fashion world by opening his own shop on Avenue Montaigne failed. Nevertheless, he remained true to his ambition and initially worked for the fashion designer Paul Poiret and the fashion house Redfern. In 1933, the time had finally come to open his own salon on Rue du Cirque, which he later relocated to the Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées due to its continued success. During this period of his great breakthrough, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, and Pierre Balmain worked for him, all of whom would later found their own, now famous, houses.

Piguet always moved in artistic circles and so he designed numerous costumes for stage performances, for example for well-known names such as Jean Cocteau, Colette, Sacha Guitry and Édith Piaf.

In 1944, Robert Piguet set out to conquer the perfume market: He released the now legendary leathery chypre fragrance "Bandit," created by the exceptional perfumer Germaine Cellier, the first celebrity female perfumer ever. And as the name suggests, this fragrance lent the wearer a wild and rebellious aura, which Marlene Dietrich, among others, used. No less famous was "Fracas," also created by Cellier, which became one of the most famous tuberose fragrances of all time – Madonna is said to be a big fan of it. Both fragrances are now true classics, and since their reintroduction, they have been delivered in the simple, Bauhaus-inspired bottles that underline their historical yet modern character.

Robert Piguet could not find a successor for his fashion house and so it was to be closed in 1951, two years before his death.
