Robert Piguet’s Casbah is a mysterious and fragrant journey amidst the colourful souks of Marrakech. Bringing a notably exotic element to the family of Piguet scents, Casbah’s followers become immediately engaged and committed to the fragrance’s unique allure. Intriguing, modern and elegant, Casbah has plenty of secrets and surprises as it invites you for a magic carpet ride through Marrakech.
With its evocative and mesmerizing scent, Casbah blends the warmth of Moroccan spices with the austere elegance of Atlas Cedarwood to weave a tapestry of mystery. The warm whispers of Black Pepper and Nutmeg introduce the delicate green melody of Angelica Root. The effervescent opening then softens into a heart of Iris embraced by Tobacco Leaves. Cedarwood provides a polished backdrop for the intricate, smoky floral accord, while Incense intertwined with salty Vetiver delivers a smooth, silky finale. Casbah enchants with its finely crafted blend of notes and other worldly magic.

HOW IT WEARS
Casbah by Robert Piguet opens with a gorgeous peppery-incense feel to it. We love that it remains soft and smooth on the skin though, a dark mysteriousness to this scent comes in. There is a real elegance to this Incense fragrance that makes it stand apart from many others. The Incense dominates, while the Tobacco and spice of the top notes create depth and complexity. As the fragrance settles we can sense the Cedarwood which enhances and compliments the wonderful Incense note. Longevity is great, generally well beyond 6 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
We love Incense fragrances and the aromatic spices along with the Cedarwood take us away from the colourful and exotic souks of Marrakech and land us in the grand and ancient churches of Europe. The light is dimmed, you can just make out your surroundings, the Incense is burning, you can smell the wood from the pews, there is a quiet and eerie calmness in the air as your senses take everything in.
