Robert Piguet is officially at Jovoy, Paris as of today. 

I caught up with Robert Piguet’s CEO Joe Garces, who was in Jovoy this afternoon with Mathieu de Villelongue, Brand Manager France.

Fresh from a trip to Australia, Joe told me that in addition to top sellers such as Fracas and Rose Perfection, Chai is selling very well for both men and women.  Having just  walked in from sweltering heat outside to Jovoy’s cool and refreshing atmosphere, I totally understood this and can imagine Chai being very successful in Paris. Although originally intended for the Asian market, Chai speaks to me — especially in the vivid top note accord of bergamot leaves and orange blossom — of so many things I love and associate with France.
