by Robert Piguet
Knightsbridge by Robert Piguet is a refined, smooth balsamic floral with a strong focus on orris, tonka bean, and sandalwood. It opens with a subtle rose and nutmeg, leading into a velvet blend of iris, warm sandalwood, and toasty vanilla that feels both elegant and comforting. The scent evolves into a softly gourmand, creamy profile with hints of chocolate and almond, making it more nuanced and less sweet than expected. Longevity is excellent—lasting up to 24 hours on some skins—while sillage is moderate, not overpowering but noticeable. It wears well in cooler seasons, particularly autumn and winter, and can be worn day or night. The fragrance is praised as unisex, offering a modern take on vintage perfumery with a balance of soft leathery warmth and powdery iris. There are few surprise moments, but it’s consistently described as smooth, inviting, and thoughtfully composed.
