I am a nature lover and enthusiastic hiker. Very often scramble around in the Black Forest. Now I do a tour with Robert Piguets Oud fragrance:

Reduced to dwarf size, I roam through the deepest undergrowth in the dark in drizzle. Where ancient pine needles and mouldy leaves merge into the damp soil, I look for my path through fungus and moss. In front of me and behind me scurry isopods and centipedes. Down here in this dull soil humidity you can smell almost nothing of the fragrant green note of fresh fir needles. Suddenly the deep undergrowth opens, a lonely old Black Forest farm rests on a clearing. Through its open stable windows, a warm cowshed smell wafts into the humidity all around.

In the fragrance description "Tannenbalsam" is highlighted. But in this forest scent I miss a balsamic flattery like I feel in another forest scent, "He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood" by Dsquared. I'd rather smell it.

I know the perfume is highly rated here. My opinion is a minority opinion.

Now I'm in a rating dilemma. The fragrance is certainly a complex masterpiece, but I don't want to wear it. For the composition I would give 9, according to my personal taste 5. Tastes are not to be objectified. Some love spaetzle, others dumplings and third fries. Who's right?

The durability is almost unsurpassed. The Sillage is also very good.

When my wife wears Prodigieux, I immediately remember our frequent visits to Turkish friends in the most beautiful village in Turkey: the friends live in Cirali, which is located within orange groves directly on the Mediterranean Sea, in the National Park, therefore without bed castles and very quiet. During the orange blossom in spring a beguiling scent wafts through the whole village. At night, when the window is open, you don't want to fall asleep at all when the cicadas chirp and this miracle scent. In the morning, when you are torn from your slumber by the crows of the many village cocks, this smell of paradise envelops you again.

Exactly this strong scent flows towards me when, now in my home in the Black Forest, my wife with Prodigieux walks or stands next to me. In addition, there is a sun cream note, which fits exactly to those lying on the beach in Cirali. In the background, I can sense other floral scents, but I can't tell them apart. And yes, I smell the sea, too, that's probably due to the mineral notes.

The perfume is particularly beautiful on grey, cold February and March days in Germany. Then one dreams oneself particularly gladly in mediterrane orange groves.

I can't tell a development, the perfume smells the same until the end.

A super plus: the unbelievable price-performance ratio
