I bought this from Harrods with no regrets. I am not a big fan of Piguet but Knightsbridge is absolutely gorgeous. I love it from beginning to the end. The iris is delicious. It lasted a good 12 hours and slightly longer.

Lady Di marries Dodi

On the day Lady Di died, I was sitting in my little Seat Marbella and driving through Langenargen. Although I didn't burst into tears, I found the news on the radio quite sad. Because I would have preferred to hear: Lady Di marries Dodi Lafayette. Diana with Dodi in the carriage to the mosque, Elton John at the piano playing "I'm still standing" - that has a certain charm. I read in a biography that Diana was not exactly easy. Who is, after all? She liked to be in the spotlight, and living under the royal roof was surely not easy either. She was a loving mother, married a man who didn't love her, and had the English queen as her mother-in-law.
Dodi was the son of Mohammed Lafayette, who owns Harrods and bought La in Lafayette. He was a bon vivant and a womanizer. Diana seemed to be into that type of man - southern/Arab type and quite self-assured. After Charles, every man was surely more exciting. An end in a luxury car in a Parisian tunnel, that was not what she had dreamed of.

Not far from Harrods is the Knightsbridge Hotel. A luxuriously furnished hotel and apartment complex. Beautifully located for shopping-crazed Harrods customers. I would love to be locked in the perfume department for a night and spray to my heart's content.

TiBe and Pluto hinted in their statements that Knightsbridge might appeal to me. Musty and leathery - I have to try that.
The scent starts with wonderful roses, dusted with a pinch of nutmeg. As if a bouquet of roses were standing in my room at Knightsbridge. Very soon, a slightly decayed note comes in, which makes it so seductive for me. The longevity is not so great; I kept reapplying. After a few hours, the showdown is this wonderful cream powder, like in the little mirror cases filled with it. I can almost smell the little sponge gliding over my skin, envisioning myself with this little treasure, the case in hand. Along with a delicate leather note - perfect. The rose remains throughout the scent's development, only becoming weaker. The fragrance is subtly spiced with tonka, and I also sense a hint of fruitiness.

It is surely beyond my financial means to spend a night at Knightsbridge. I also prefer to sleep more simply, but a visit to Harrods - that is on my wish list.

Mysterious Secret

Think of the night... so velvety and dark... familiar, and yet so... peculiar. Sometimes cold and interspersed with snowflakes... in dark alleys with old houses. ...I am then glad when a warm beam of light breaks through a window, the reddish glow of a lamp, far away from the glaring neon lights of the big city.
At other times warm, the air stands almost upright before me, like a wall that needs to be penetrated.
Yet one cannot move forward, not really, with every step this "wall" seems to be one step ahead.
Faded moonlight seeps through the steaming air. It appears cold, eternally far away, yet brings no cooling.
Waiting for the morning... at midnight, at the crossroads between days...
I am alone with this scent, this "Knightsbride," a name that sounds very English, and it is.
Along with the fragrant liquid it denotes.
"Nutmeg and rose," is the terse description of the notes that first appear.
But what I truly smell is anything but terse. It holds a nocturnal-dark secret.
Sweet and enticing like the lamp light in the damp cold, comforting as well. With a spicy reflection that seems to emanate from a hidden kitchen.
From the depths of the scent, warmth seems to rise, reminiscent of a "tropical night." Moisture seems to rise from an iris-fringed pond, wanting to carry the scent of these irises to the moon.
Embedded in woody powder that seems to rise directly from a forest.
Could it be? Is this not the same night that I saw in my dream... a different one than the real, cold one?
Or is it the other way around? Was the cold a dream to escape the stagnant humidity?
I will never know, for the scent does not reveal its true secret.
I only notice that now the tonka scent is creeping in, attempting to lift a veil....
Perhaps in vain.......?!

Masterpiece by Aurélien Guichard

Harrods - my favorite department store in London. Of course, it’s also the place where I can truly indulge my "perfume-mania"; after all, the store boasts one of the best perfume departments in the world in the basement and a hyper-luxury perfume boutique under the roof (Roja Dove's "Haute Parfumerie"). When I heard that Robert Piguet was going to release a fragrance specifically dedicated to "Harrods," I was immediately intrigued. My daughter got me a "sample" (which took some persuasion at the Piguet counter at Harrods) - and now the fragrance is with me. What can I say? Where should I begin? First of all, I have to chuckle at my own "Guichard-bashing" of the past few months. Guichard is indeed the nose behind "Knightsbridge." It just goes to show what happens when a perfumer is given artistic freedom. His "briefing" was: "Imagine how Harrods smells at two o'clock in the morning." Nothing more. The fragrance opens with nutmeg and rose; I really like this combination. It is followed by a very lush bouquet of sandalwood and iris, with all aspects of iris (iris root, iris butter) coming into play. Very opulent! I particularly enjoy the fine leather note that, together with tonka bean, creates a soft, seductive effect as it develops. After many hours, you can still smell the powdery iris combined with the tonka bean. Sprayed on fabric, "Knightsbridge" is perceptible for days. Guichard has hit a home run with "Knightsbridge" after "Chinatown" (2005) (there are indeed certain echoes of "Chinatown") and "Azzaro Couture" (2008). While I may not like most of his mainstream fragrances, I must admire him for "Knightsbridge." I would love to have a full bottle of this scent. Unfortunately, the price is 155 English pounds. However, it is exclusively available at Harrods in London.
