Piguet Baghari, Luckyscent Untitled #3 ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 22 August 2006 14 Comments

Robert Piguet Baghari perfume

Robert Piguet has reintroduced Baghari, a 1950 fragrance created by Francis Fabron. Baghari is described as a "soft oriental" and was the last fragrance introduced by Piguet before the house closed in 1951.

The new version has been reorchestrated by perfumer Aurelien Guichard, and includes notes of violets, neroli, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, rose centifolia, iris, bergamot, aldehydes, vetiver, amber, vanilla and musk.

Baghari is available now at senteursdailleurs in Brussels, Harvey Nichols in the UK, and Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. For more information, see Piguet's announcement.

Luckyscent has launched Untitled #3, a fragrance by perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran of Creative Scentualization. Described as "a must-try for violet lovers, this captures the hushed stillness of twilight"; it includes notes of yuzu, African violet, gardenia, coriander, red amber, sandalwood and light musk. It comes in perfume oil form and is $65 for 8 ml.

    I'm not even going to try to feign nonchalance about another Piguet. The “rebalancing” of Fracas and Bandit were really good, so I have high hopes, although I've never smelled the original Baghari.

    I'm very excited about the Piguet, too! I hope you will review it soon. . .

    I will try to do so, although you'll get a better review from Bois de Jasmin since she has smelled the original!

    Oh, that Piguet sounds lovely!
    PS I originally typed “smells lovely”
    Do you think I'd like it?

    M, I'm waiting for a sample so no comment yet. But ask Victoria, she knows the original, and may have tried the new one too — she is usually much faster than I am :-)

    If you love N°5 in perfume extract, Balenciaga Le Dix and Guerlain's Liu, you absolutely need to try Baghari.

    Baghari is true couture elegance. It's aldehydic but the warm vanilla and amber notes dominate. No idea what the original smelled like, but this version is very, very good IMHO.

    I love N#5!!! But what are adehdyes? Is it a scent not found in nature???

    I can't wait to try Baghari! I do love Fracas, but I wear it infrequently.

    Aldehydes are a family of chemicals that are used both to mimic certain natural aromas, and to introduce “special effects” — sparkle & diffusiveness — into fragrance. Chanel no. 5 is famous for being the first fragrance with large quantities of aldehydes.

    Butting in: aldehydes are a kind of organic molecular structure, that end in a certain group. Some of them are indeed found in nature. For example, cinnamaldehyde is what makes cinnamon cinnamony. And there are aldehydes found in citrus peels and leaves.

    Thanks to you both for clearing that up. The first time I heard of aldehydes was from Chanel no 5.

    I tried this at Harvey Nichols. It is intensely 'perfumey' (obviously the aldehydes) and might I imagine appeal to someone who likes things like 24 Faubourg and indeed Chanel #5. the jasmine amber and vanilla seem quite noticable to me – the violets barely so. It makes me think of My Sin somewhat.

    I am wearing it today for the first time…the start is perfumey, as most aldehydic florals are, but the dry down is very soft and warm. Haven't tried My Sin in years so can't compare…
