Oh and I live in the US
I’ve only tried two–Fracas and Bandit! I believe I like Fracas more. I do live in the U.S., and thanks for holding the drawing. 🙂
Hi Robin! I live in the US and my very favorite Piguet is Bandit, although I also adore Fracas. Thank you for the draw!
Oh, temporarily/currently in the us & I’ve never entered one of these draws.
I have smelled bandit and loved it.
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Robert Piguet fragrance is Fracas. I love gardenias but have yet to find a gardenia fragrance that captures the feeling of that elusive flower, with Roja Dove’s Gardenia perhaps coming the closest.
I live in the US and I love Fracas. My favorite gardenia fragrance is Jo Loves Gardenia.
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US. My favorite gardenia fragrance is my newest one…Andy Tauer’s Sotto La Luna. Thank you for the chance to win Robert Piquet’s Gardenia.
I love in the US. I’m a Fracas woman but I do love Gardenia! Thanks for the opportunity!
I live in the U.S. I love Fracas, but I just adore gardenia. And they’re all over the board price-wise: Sarah Horowitz Perfect Gardenia, the original Marc Jacobs extrait, Roja Dove Gardenia, and I like ET Gardenia for a light and airy every day gardenia scent.
I live in the USA and my absolute favorite Robert Piguet is Fracas!
I’ve not yet tried this new one by Piguet, but would love too 😉
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the U.S., and like so many others my favorite Robert Piguet fragrance is Fracas. For best gardenia I would have to choose EL Tuberose Gardenia.
Thanks for the opportunity. I live in the U.S. My favorite fragrance with gardenia is the original Vera Wang.
I live in the U.S. My favorite gardenia fragrance is Annick Goutal Gardenia Passion.
I live in the United States and my favorite Robert Piguet fragrance is Bandit. I bought a small, 7.5 ml bottle of the extrait early this Summer and it is already nearly empty! How did this happen?
I’ve been trying for ages to get my hands on some Bandit, but alas no luck so far. I have to say I enjoy Fracas on a testing strip but it’s way too much for me to actually wear. That said, I would love to smell Gardenia on my partner… Oh, and I live in the US
I live in the US and of course you may use my email.
My favorite Piguet (of the ones I’ve tried) is Visa. My favorite gardenia (so far) is Arquiste Boutonniere No. 7.
I live in the us and my favorite gardenia is Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia. My favorite Piguet is Fracas. Thanks for an amazing giveaway!
I live in the US, and my favorite RP frag so far is Bandit. Thanks for the opportunity! 🙂
I live in the U.S.A. and you have my permission to use my email address. I like Fracas a lot, Bandit is a difficult ride, but a “like” nevertheless. Thanks for the draw, Robin !
I’m in the US and my favorite gardenia is the first Marc Jacobs perfume. Thanks for the chance!
I live in the US, and my favorite Piguet is Bandit. My favorite gardenia fragrance is the discontinued Gardenia Musk by Trish McAvoy. Thank you for this generous draw!
I live in the US and thanks for the awesome contest, Robin! My favorite Piguet fragrances of the ones I’ve tried so far are Fracas in extrait (a 30ml bottle is always in my wardrobe) or Bandit in edp. Fave gardenia is a tie between Isabey Gardenia and EL Tuberose Gardenia, though Jennifer Aniston is a great cheap thrill gardenia, too.
Good luck, everyone! 🙂
I live in the US and my favorite Gardenia is Aftelier’s Cuir de Gardenia
I live in the US. My favorite gardenia perfume is one of the first ‘fumes I had, Tuvache Jungle Gardenia. Still looking for a scent that captures what a fresh gardenia smells like, after a visit to a diner where they had one by the register. My favorite Piguet is vintage Bandit.
I Live In The U.S. My E-Mail and Address Info are current and up to date and
A. Baghari or Visa
B. Gardenia By Chanel.
I do indeed live in the US, and my favorite gardenia fragrance is probably Goutal’s Un Matin d’Orage. I have yet to find the perfect gardenia scent, though. There’s always hope!
I live in the US and my favorite is Fracas!
I live in the U.S., and am embarrassed to say I’ve only tried Fracas. But I do love it. I’ve been meaning to ask what the best season is for wearing it. Good luck with your perfume reduction plan 🙂 Thank you for being so generous with your bottle.
I live in the US and you may contact me via email anytime, especially if you want to give me perfume. 🙂
Though I’ve only tried a few, my favorite Piguet scent is Fracas. Its personality is big for me but it’s captivating.
Thank you for another wonderful giveaway.
Good evening. I live in the United States, and have been on the hunt for a great gardenia scent. I have tons of gardenias, planted in my yard, with them being of different varieties. I love Annick Goutal’s Gardenia Passion, but it doesn’t seem to last on me. I have tried Van Cleef and Arpels gardenia fragrance, and like that, but I don’t find it to be The One. Help!
I live in the US. I really like Ineke Hothouse Flower. It’s my fave of her florals from the alphabet collection.
I live in the US. My favorite gardenia fragrance is probably Ineke Hothouse Flower. But I love gardenia, so I have some close runners-up, especially TF Velvet Gardenia and Un Matin d’Orage. Thank you so much for the draw!
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Robert Piguet fragrance is Fracas. I have been wanting this perfume since I found out it came out, I love gardenias, they have a peacefulness scent:)
I love Fracas. It is my favorite, although I also love Bandit. I live in the U.S.!
I live in the US. The only Piguet perfume I’ve tried is Fracas, so I’d love the chance to try this.
I live in the U.S.
The only perfume by Robert Piguet I like and wear is Calypso.
I live in the US. I found what I believe is a tuberose, rather than gardenia, in 1920 Bois, called Tuberose. I love it. Coconut in there, too. But I really am seeking out a great tuberose. (and what IS the difference between gardenia and tuberose, technically, smell-wise?) I have Voixe Noire by Uncle Serge, but not sure that’s it. Failed to love Chasson aux Papillons. And I really didn’t care for Cousin Andy’s Gardenia. All I got was a weak vanilla?
Must check this out, regardless.
I have somehow failed to smell any gardenia perfumes, but I did smell a real gardenia once, and it smelled AMAZING 🙂 I would love to start with this perfume! I am in the US.
I live in the USA; you may use my email address. My favorite gardenia is Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia. Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur is very good too, but so “oriental” it may not qualify. Most of the white flowers I like in the gardenia class have more tuberose and jasmine, etc. My favorite Piguet is Baghari, and I also like Calypso and Futur. Cheers!
I live in the US, and nearby is a college campus with a Japanese garden. There are koi in the pond and beautiful bonsai to contemplate. There is also a small hedge of gardenia bushes. When they are in bloom the smell is fabulous. That is my favorite gardenia fragrance.
I am learning to love EL Tuberose Gardenia. When I first tried it, my nose said “ouch.” It was very medicinal, but as my nose gets “tougher,” and as I smell more perfumes, I’m starting to like Tuberose Gardenia. It makes me wonder what all the fragrance sampling and sniffing is doing to change my sense of smell or if it is all in my mind.
Thanks for the generous draw. I live in the U.S. My favorite gardenia is Aftelier Cuir de Gardenia.
I live in the U.S. My favorite Piguet is Visa and would have to choose the sadly discontinued Tom Ford Velvet Gardenia as my favorite gardenia fragrance.
I live in the US. Haven’t found a Piguet that’s quite right for me, yet, but I keep trying!
I live in the US and my favorite gardenia is Andy Tauer’s new Sotto la Luna.
Thanks for the draw!
I am from the U.S. My Mother had gardenias in her wedding bouquet and would talk about the heavenly scent when I was a child. When I got married, I wanted to have gardenias and ordered them from Hawaii to a flower store in Alaska. They truly did smell heavenly and I sought out a perfume or scent that embodied the amazing smell I had experienced. I would love the opportunity to smell this
I’m in the US. My favorite Robert Piguet is Baghari and my favorite gardenia is Jovoy’s Gardez Moi. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US. My favorite Robert Piguet is Fracas — I can’t get enough of white flowers!
I live in the US and I carried gardenias at my senior prom, and I wore Fracas for years, but not lately. I would love to have that bottle!
My favorite Robert Piguet is Casbah and my favorite gardenia is Arquiste Boutonniere no7. I live in the US. Thanks.
I live in the U.S. and I have never met a gardenia fragrance to equal the scent of the real blossom, the exquisite, intoxicating beauty of my favorite homecoming and prom corsages. Oh, the memories!
My wife and I have only recently gotten into fragrance, and are actively trying to build our scent wardrobe and expose our selves to new things. We live in Chicago.
Hi Robin,
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Robert P. fragrance is Madame P. (I butchered the spelling). It comes in a pink and black bottle. Thanks for the opportunity.
I live in the US. I can’t help but think of my sister when I think of Fracas. She is 4 years older than me and always had a very posh collection of perfume. Thanks for the draw.
I live in the US. I love the new Fracas petite fragrance but started to live the new Aerin Gardenia perfume as well. There’s something about full heady floral scents. Thanks for the contest.
I live in the US. My favorite Piguet is a tie between Fracas and Visa. Favorite gardenia scent is Hothouse Flower.
I live in the US. I purchased a decant of Bandit recently and I’m still trying to decide if I like it!
I still live in the US.
When I can, I plan to move to Uruguay – I wonder what scents I will discover there?
I live in the US. My favorite gardenia is EL Tuberose Gardenia with TF Velvet Gardenia a close second. I do like Fracas, but only on other people.
I live in the USA and my favorite fragrance with gardenia note is Serge Lutens Une Voix Noire.
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m in the US and my favorite gardenia fragrance is Honour Woman, if it can be considered a gardenia fragrance.
I’m in the USA and my favorite gardenia-oriented scent is Paradiso Inferno. Thanks!
Thank you for this giveaway! I am in the US, and although I don’t have an answer for #1 or #2, I can say that I am THRILLED to be back on the hunt after 6 years of not being able to wear anything that I wore before I first got pregnant in 2008. Four babies later, and I am now in a “Smell All The Things!” kind of mood. My list is growing by the hour.
I live in the US .
My favorite Piguet fragrance is Fracas ( so far-I haven’t tried any others yet, but I liked Fracas enough to get a partial bottle after trying a mini) .
I’m not sure which fragrance is my favorite gardenia at the moment,if pressed -discontinued Sonia Kashuk ( Target brand) one with a lime green label( the fuchsia one was tuberose, and the orange one was perhaps mandarin ? I’d have to go root out the body mists I got the other two in.)
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US. My favorite gardenia is the new Aerin Lauder Gardenia.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Robin.
My favorite gardenia scent is D&G Velvet Desire. I live in the US and my email address is correct.
Keep up the awesome work!
Omg! I SO dearly hope to win this- I would give it such a loving home! I love gardenia & I love Robert Piguet! I’ve been wanting this since I first learned about here on NST! My favourite Robert Piguet fragrance to wear is Bandit but I love Fracas too (but I don’t wear it myself much). But Bandit smells sexy on me & I get tons of compliments on it. I’m always on the hunt for the gardenia perfume of my dreams. My favourite gardenia scents are Tom Ford Velvet Gardenia (sadly D/C’d), Estée Lauder Tuberose Gardenia, & Isabey Gardenia (a fantasy gardenia but a lovely perfume nonetheless). I live here in the US- I’ll be even more specific- I live in Bergen county New Jersey. Btw, I love this site & I have been an avid reader of it for quite some time!
My favorite Piguet fragrance is Bandit. It always was, and always will be, my go-to leather fragrance. Bold, unmistakable, and reliable. I live in the United States.
I live in the USA.
Calypso is my favorite Robert Piguet fragrance. Thanks!!!
I live in the US, and my favorite Piguet so far is Futur, though Fracas is a close second.
I live in the US and so far my favorite Piguet is Fracas, but I loved it so much immediately that I bought a bottle, which means there are many others to become more acquainted with in the future.
Thanks Robin! I live in the U.S.
I’m actually having a really hard time answering the gardenia question. I would say that Bandit is my favorite Robert Piguet fragrance. Although I do not own, nor have I ever worn Bandit (I do own Fracas, of course!). Bandit smells like a cloak of power to me. Not to play up the name of the fragrance too much, but it smells dangerous.
I live in the U.S. and I have a love/hate relationship with Bandit. On the good days, I love it! I am a big fan of Knightbridge…so good!
Hello
I live in the us and have recently gotten into perfumes. I was always so overwhelmed with how many there were and thought a little research would help. That’s how I stumbled across your blog. It’s very well written and I love your enthusiasm for fragrances!
As for Gardena scents I don’t think I know of any yet but I adore the smell of the actual flower. A friends grandmother grows them and we always leave with some in our hair when we go visit her.
My favorite Piguet is Bandit, though I’ve enjoyed all I’ve tried & would love to smell this one — always on the prowl for gardenia! I live in the U.S. 🙂
Love the Robert Piguet range….I have Bandit, Fracas, Knightsbridge, Casbah, Douglas Hannant and have been eagerly awaiting the debut of Gardenia. I live in the USofA and love NST blog!
Thanks for the draw! I live in the US. My favorite RP would be Bandit because it’s memorable. I’m hoping to like this gardenia.
I live in the US.
I want to try this one – have since I knew of its upcoming existence – but haven’t run across any samples. I just last WEEK got a sample of Douglas Hannant (which to my nose smells more like an updated Fracas than did Petit Fracas) and enjoyed it, but it is very Wisp Of Fracas, of course. And less, hmm, opaque maybe? Not like other Fracas Lite fragrances don’t exist, however, so I probably don’t need a bottle of the DH.
My favorite Piguet is Calypso. I tend to wear it in the summer, but it’s nice in other seasons, too.
Forgot to say that I live in the US.
I live in the U.S.! My favorite Robert Piguet is Fracas.
Great giveaway Robin! I live in the U.S., and my favorite Gardenia is Estee Lauder’s Tuberose Gardenia. It’s one of the only gardenia’s I’ve found that is office appropriate, rather than a BWF bomb.
I live in the US and my favorite (obtainable) gardenia is Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia! I do lament SIP’s Lady Day- wish I had bought a bottle when it was available…Thanks for the draw!
Hi robin, I live in the US!
My fave gardenias are a draw between EL’s Private Collection and Gucci’s Floral series. With maybe the Pacifica contestant thrown in.
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US.
My favorite gardenia perfume is Revlon Jontue that I got at a garage sale.
Thank you for entering me in the drawing.
I am in the US and my favorite gardenia is (the sadly discontinued) Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia. My favorite Piguet is bandit. Thank you so much for this giveaway!
I own and love Fracas, also love many Gardenias. . . Chanel Gardenia, PC Tuberose Gardenia, Velvet Gardenia, Marc Jacobs. Please pick me!!! Yes, I live in the US. Thanks so much!
I live in the US and my favorite Piguet perfume is Fracas. I have Bandit too but it is harder to wear than Celier’s big femme fume. Too butch I guess! My favorite Gardenia fume is Tuvache Jungle Gardenia, long gone but still a legend. Thanks for the draw.
I don’t do well with Fracas….or Jasmine and Tiberius don’t do well with me. I’d love to try the Gardenia as that is one of my favorite flowers and can only be grown indoors where I live in the USA. I’m from Detroit which was French, then English and is the only US city north of Canada.
Hi, I live in the US.
I’ve not had the pleasure to try many Gardenia fragrances. The most beautiful I’ve tried would have to be one of the first perfumes I’ve bought- Marc Jacobs for Women. Would love to try this one though, thank you for the giveaway.
I live in the US.
My favorite gardenia is Lulu Beauty Starlet, which is now Olivine by Olivine.
I live in the US, and I think Bandit or Fracas is my favorite. I do not know the house as well as I would like, though!
