Bois Bleu Robert Piguet 2013

So often I had Bois Bleu already in a shopping basket and finally I was able to keep my cool not to shoot him blind. In spite of the experiences with the piguets, which were so far outstanding in my eyes, I was hesitant.
After a bottling of DonBlech it was clear: Everything done right!
Good thing I didn't buy blind! At first I thought of Villoresis Vetiver. Bitter, acidic, slightly woody, but thickly present Vetiver. Etro's vetiver came to my mind in the course of time. The new one with the silver cap, not the one with the gold one. But what did not come was the perception of the piguet DNA typical for me in many fragrances.

Whatever, Bois Bleu is a complete disappointment to me in that sense. When I see milestones in Bois Noir, Casbah and my beloved Cravache, Bois Bleu is a contemporary rider on the long flattened Vetiver wave.
Well done he is, no question. Not cheap water. But the proximity to the aforementioned is too striking for me. It's not a real Piguet to me. Too bad.
