Baghari
de Robert Piguet |
 |
Noted for his
elegance and style, fashion designer Robert Piguet drew upon his sense of
drama when it came to the creation of his perfumes. Bandit, his first
scent, was a daring chypre, introduced at its inception by masked models
carrying toy guns. Then came Fracas, his classic white floral redolent
with tuberose and adored by a coterie of elegant and celebrated women. And
now Fashion Fragrances & Cosmetics is thrilled to reintroduce Baghari,
the final fragrance launched by Robert Piguet before failing health forced
him to close his fashion house in 1951.
THE
ORIGINAL MASTER PERFUMER
Robert Piguet chose Master Perfumer Francis Fabron to work on the creation
of Baghari with him. Mr. Fabron was known for his aldehydics, like
L’Interdit, which he created for Givenchy as Audrey Hepburn’s signature
scent. His compositions are in the so-called French style, very polished
and feminine, delicately powdered. He is best known for Nina Ricci’s L’Air
du Temps and Balenciaga’s Le Dix. Robert Piguet with his unerring
discernment, chose the perfect perfumer to work with him on Baghari, a
quintessentially feminine and romantic soft floral fragrance, ideally
suited to the woman who is young at heart. |

BAGHARI’S CONTEMPORARY MASTER PERFUMER
|
 |
We knew we needed just the right “nose” to rebalance
this very special fragrance. We found him in Aurélien Guichard,
a young master perfumer who is part of the Fine Fragrance Team of
Givaudan in Paris. Aurélien was appropriately born in Grasse, the
center of the great tradition of “Haute Parfumerie.” He discovered
his passion for composing fragrances while working for Givaudan in New
York City. He joined the Fragrance Team after three years’ study at
the Givaudan Perfumery School. Since then he has created Love in Paris
and Les Belles-Cherry Fantasy for Nina Ricci, as well as several other
successful fragrances. Along with his obvious talent, we were drawn to
Aurélian’s commitment to honoring Piguet’s original vision, his
sensitivity to all the nuances and complexities of Baghari, and his
familiarity with contemporary tastes. |
Aurélian undertook the delicate process of adapting Baghari’s original
formula to respond to today’s sensibilities. The result: a modern classic
fragrance destined to last forever.

Baghari is now available at the fine fragrance counters of:
Le
Bon Marché
and Printemps (Paris)
Harvey Nichols (United Kingdom and Ireland)
Bergdorf Goodman (New York)
and all Neiman Marcus stores (U.S.) |
