Robert Piguet has more history in the perfume and haute couture industry than a lot of the contemporary ones. Modern perfumists such as

deserve a dedicated page while Robert Piguet doesn't is unfair.

Also, if you visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_perfumes

Robert Piguet's perfumes are mentioned a few times in this important list.

The current website lists only the ones that get reformulated and modernized, but a lot of the lesser known (but important to perfume collectors) perfumes are missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vshwong (talk • contribs) 02:03, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Vshwong! While this list is useful, it needs rationalising and cutting down. There are a lot of duplicates on here, and no references. Dates like 19?? are not helpful. Particularly with the more recent ones it looks like advertising/promo for the new perfumes. I'm not sure it is necessary to list every single perfume the brand has produced - the key ones such as Bandit, Fracas, etc are already mentioned in the article.

Robert Piguet himself did not create the perfumes himself, but rather he commissioned perfumers to design for him. While he was alive, his company released many perfumes, but only about 7 or 8 were noteworthy. I am very interested in the perfumes that are forgotten and through different places I have managed to compile a decent list. Perfumes that at the top of the list might appear they are duplicated, but they are almost different perfumes, just that they use the same name. (Reasons due to lost of certain ingredients or ingredients that got banned, etc) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vshwong (talk • contribs) 20:36, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
