    Thankfully I didn’t blind buy this one. I was looking for a true white floral and this mostly is one, however it also carries a strong resemblance to Chloe edp, the fresh rosy one. And that one isn’t for me at all. Douglas Hannant is old fashioned white florals mixed with fresh, pink rose.
    I’m sure it has its followers, but it’s not for me.

    The perfume reminds me the smell in bathroom after bathing

    I was very excited to try this based on the mix of notes so I bought a decanted sample of eBay; not sure if its the sample but I don’t like it at all, not fresh, feels dated and reminds me on a floor cleaning product. Sorry

    Douglas Hannant is much more about the orange blossom and jasmine than I was expecting. I bought a sample expecting a toned down Fracas (which I love), but I don’t think that’s what DH is at all. The tuberose isn’t nearly as noticeable to me in DH as it is in Fracas, and it’s definitely not as buttery. I’m not mad or disappointed about it — I like DH a lot, actually. It’s just much drier than I was expecting. To me, a noticeable tuberose is almost wet and sticky smelling, but I’m not getting that here. Instead, I think the tuberose and gardenia lend a sweetness and warmth to the orange blossom and jasmine that keeps it from getting too screechy. I’m having a hard time detecting the pear, so I would not say that DH is a fruity scent.
    All in all, I think it’s quite lovely – sweet, but not nauseatingly so; floral, but not a literal garden; modern, but not trite; and mature, but not elderly. If you like sweet floral perfumes, DH is a good choice.
    Sillage is fairly loud. I sprayed one spray on one wrist about 4-5 hours ago, and I can easily smell it while I’m typing. I haven’t finished out the day (obviously), but based on its performance so far, I think it’s safe to say it will be long lasting.

    I never tried fracas or micheal kors micheal so I can’t compare douglas to them.my other two gardenia dominant perfumes micheal kors very hollywood and bond no.9 central park west made me sure that I adore gardenia so I decided to try more perfumes with this note.it sometimes smells different,too much realistic and green(as in hermes jour gardenia or van cleef’s gardenia) but in douglas it comes closer to my favorite type,it’s not green or too much flowery.it’s creamy with the right amount of sweetness
    I can feel tuberose,jasmine and orange flower in it too but on my skin,gardenia is star of this white bouquet
    Pear is one of my favorite fruity notes but in douglas it appears different from my imaginations.pear is sometimes cold and crisp in perfumes,acting almost like apple.it’s sometimes ripe and sugary.in douglas it’s non of them,it stands in between and it’s so mashed up with white flowers that there’s no boundaries left between them.so to my nose it’s not a really fruity scent,pear is easily detectable but it’s there to add a lovely,youthful,delicious and somehow fresh twist to white florals
    All in all I don’t agree with age limitations for fragrances.flowers are flowers and they’re not created just for above sixties but if you have such concerns that a rich tuberose scent may be old for you,feel free to try this one.it IS rich but also full of modernity and youth
    I love how it Smells on me.I believe white floral perfumes generally aren’t safe for blindbuy since there’s lots of people who aren’t into florals but Douglas is exceptionally pretty safe for buying without sampling because it Smells simply beautiful and very easy to like and it seems to be almost same on different people.I know dozen of people from 17 to 70 who love or at least like this one while they usually despise overly flowery perfumes
    Douglas Hannant is wearable year round,both days and evenings.longevity and sillage are both very satisfying. I have just a decant of it but I will definitely buy a full bottle someday
    If you’re looking for a very complex and unique perfume it may dissapoint you.musk and sandalwood are barely there.it’s just about creamy and sweet white flowers with a fruity,peary undertone and a light touch of powder in it’s drydown.the point is: it’s super pretty,super feminine,easy to wear,long lasting and a complement magnet.It’s simple but has It’s own character.douglas is among my top choices as a bride perfume,it has innocence,purity,sweetness and a touch of bubbly naughtyness of a beautiful,young bride.it’s lovely

    Robert Piguet fragrances exude quality and glamour, and Douglas Hannant doesn’t disappoint. This is a very pretty white floral, modern, a little exotic, high quality. It’s not trying hard, and for me its unpretentiousness makes it a five star perfume. It’s more of an evening perfume, than a daytime one. Quite creamy and sweet, but not in a suffocating way at all, think along the lines of Michael Kors Michael. I can imagine it on a woman, who is confident and laid-back, but always has a touch of glamour.

    Wow, this is just lovely. An incredibly sweet white floral with gardenia and tuberose forward and some jasmine and orange blossom. It really projects on first application but quickly tones down. The musk and sandalwood are not obvious but they tame the sweet beast.

    Whilst Douglas Hannant is a lovely white floral fragrance, I’m not sure if it is one of Piguet’s best. During the beginning, the pears are the most dominant note on my skin. The pear in this reminds me somewhat of J’adore by Dior – shampoo-like and sweet. It’s pretty, but because this phase lasts for many hours, I start to tire of it after some time.
    Once this finally settles, the white florals emerge, softly fragrant and rather hard to unscramble. The sillage is close to my skin during this phase. I think there is tuberose, but the smell is rather vague and only suggestive of some sort of white floral. I would like this a lot more if it didn’t remind me so much of shampoo. Shampoo is what I want sometimes, but when every second perfume seems to smell like shampoo, it starts to get a little tedious. Come on, perfumers, thrill me with something a bit different!! 😉
    Moderate projection on my skin, and the longevity is very good, about 9-10 hours 🙂

    I opened the bottle and instantly got the jasmine basenote. Jasmine in a base..how fun. Spraying it on immediately got a green pear slightly tart with the beautiful gardenia and orange blossom. A sweet pick me up in the dead of winter, but not heavy in its delivery like say Michelle, Fracas, Jungle Gardenia, or even Carnal Flower. Its the goldilocks of this white flower genre..just right but it does have presence. This does not go light, transparent or watery. (thank god)
    The pear counterbalances the orange flower and the gardenia shines. The tuberose behaves but does her part. Sandalwood, musk, and jasmine leaves the final trail of white floral. If there is one modern, sleek white floral perfume that can go from day to night, all season, natural in presentation true to their core without a lot of help from vanilla, sugars, patchouli or wierd strange notes..just them shining in their glory..this is it. Now I have to get the extrait. Simple but high impact with this one. Marvelous.

    Well, if Fracas is the monster, DH is the beauty! Light, fresh, airy but yet intensive. The Tuberose, Gardenia, Pear And musk-mix is great and a bit sweet. If Fracas is a hot summerday with heat and burning sun, DH is the first day in springtime where the sun melts away the snow and makes you want to turn your face towards the sun and just breath. They are both beautiful – in 2 different ways.
    Okey, om Fracas är monstret så är DH den lilla ängeln. Lätt, fräsch och luftig men ändå intensiv. Tuberose, Gardenia, Päron och Musk-mixen gör den även lite söt. Om Fracas är en het sommardag med brännande sol, så är DH den första vårdagen där solen smälter bort den sista snön och du njuter av att vända ansiktet mot solen. De är båda ljuvliga dofter – på var sitt sätt.

    I am disappointed.
    I bought this as a blind buy as a result of the list of ingredients
    all of which I thought I liked.
    However I don’t like this perfume.
    There is something in the mix that spoils it for me. It reminds me a little of what I don’t like about Red Door.
    I will probably give it away- unfortunately.

    @M.Carolina I totally agree! This is a good choice for spring time.

    Wow! I’m in love. Gorgeous tuberose scent, elegant and feminine, similar to Fracas but a bit less complex and powerful.
    If you think Fracas is too strong for you, this is perfect.
    Amazing, alluring, very sophisticated.

    I tried this once, fell in love with the tuberose and immediately purchased a full sized bottle.
    Depending on how I’m feeling, my nose is more or less receptive to the sweet pear in the opening. I’m not overly fond of pear as a note, finding it nauseating in large quantities. But the payoff is a scent as ethereal as a gauzy summer morning in the south. It’s femininity in a bottle. I only break this out when I’m feeling classic, or some oxymoronic combination of girlish and womanly.
    This is the only white floral I have or need. Not screechy or abrasive but subtle and soft. There’s a slight sweetness due to the pear initially, but it settles down into a fresh, clean experience. It gets a tad soapy during the orange blossom phase but the tuberose drydown it to die for. It’s like I’ve died and gone to Old Hollywood.

    Douglas Hannant is a perfect choice to wear as an everyday, office version of Fracas. It is crisper and not full-blown as is Fracas or Petit, but is all the same a great choice for the person that loves tuberose. It projects as does all of Piguet’s scents on me do, so it needs a light hand.
    Piguet always makes it impossible for me to stop huffing my wrists! I am a big fan of white florals, and I think they hit a home run in Douglas Hannant. It’s funny, I wanted another Piguet Tuberose in my collection for my exaulted commitment to the brand.
    All of the Robert Piguet fragrances I have tried so far seem to combine and project very well with my chemistry. Overall, my cool, dry skin can tend to make me favor heavy duty scents

  16. :

    I wouldn’t call a cheap soapy version of Fracas(which remains a masterpiece). It is a nice, modern white floral scent, perfect for the beginning of spring. Just like someone else said: it’s fracas’ little sister.

    The orange flower and gardenia combination is a lovely opening to this scent. By the time the tuberose kicks in the orange flower is gone. I’m not sure how much gardenia I can smell at that point because the loudness of the tuberose competes with it big-time. Having said that, for a tuberose fragrance this one is a bit subdued. I get no fruit notes at all.
    Douglas Hannant has medium longevity for me, and is a classy fragrance in spite of the indolic nature of the white flowers (which often translate to me as sexy rather than classy). I do this like this one a lot, it’s more complex/blended and better than Fracas to my nose. Sillage on me is about a 1 metre radius of lush and cool big floral bubble.
    Douglas Hannant is such strange name for a beautiful floral fragrance. It makes it sound unisex, which this fragrance is definitely NOT.

  18. :

    4 out of 5

    To my nose this is a clean gardenia fragrance with a light juicy twist, and a soapy-musky drydown, where the tuberose note adds some creaminess to it. Reminds me of Penhaligon’s Ellenisia, but it’s lighter, softer, less overpowering. Piguet’s Douglas Hannant is a modern, delicate, tasteful white floral fragrance. Simply, but classy.
    Edit: Unfortunately the lovely gardenia top note fades away quickly, and the generic soapiness is rather disturbing after a while. Not for me.

  19. :

    4 out of 5

    I really like this. Its a day time pretty scent. Its clean and fresh. NOT SOAPY by any means, but clean.
    It doesn’t smell like Amouage Reflections Woman but for some reason or other reminds me of it in a more perplexed composition.
    Would I buy it? sure one day.
    From Piguet line its my second favorite. Fracas first and Douglas Hannant second.
    Seems a lot of care went into this formulations creation.
    Its a non offensive croud pleasing gardenia.Very refind. It must be the beauty of the pears, not quite sure of the break down. All I know is its a great parfum.

    Cand mi-am comandat acest parfum a fost cu o strangere de inima pentru ca m-am ghidat dupa comentariile celorlati . Ideea e ca mai toate parfumurile asa mi le-am achizitionat si nu am dat gres ! Este un parfum deosebit , altceva decat am avut pana acum.

    I blind bought this one, just like I blind bought Fracas. I figured if it’s supposed to be the sister fragrance to Fracas then there’s no way I won’t love it.
    Interesting thing is I thought it as “nice” or “okay” at first, but then I found that I craved wearing it and liked it more each time. I loved the way it dried down on my skin and wafted beautifully throughout the day.
    I would say it is really quite similar to Fracas but not so “Hot”, as in Hot skin and Flowers heated by the sun. Which is probably why people find it more wearable.
    I like them both for different times/occasions: Douglas Hannant for work and Fracas for play 🙂

  22. :

    Another white floral added to my collection. I’m not quite ready for Fracas, which I absolutely adore, but it will just have to wait until I’m ready to wear it(and not be worn by it). Petit Fracas is very similar to this, however slightly sweeter. I like them both and considered both for my Piguet purchase. However, I picked Douglas Hannant in the end.
    In hotter weather it’s a lovely, tender yet strong, tuberose. On a chilly day it’s a full on, heady jasmine to my nose, warmed up by sandalwood. I can’t detect the pear. I’m very happy that creations like that exist, I know that many of Fracas fans will dismiss anything that Piguet creates as a Fracas wannabe, ‘modern, for the naive and young’, but let me tell you – I’m very glad that compositions change and evolve, you can find something for yourself.
    Very pleased with this purchase, together with my Marc Jacobs original and Diptuque’s Do Son I feel like my light, white floral needs are being completely satisfied.

    3 main things you need to know. This is coming from a male’s perspective. This is my 1st sampling from this house. I dislike tuberose. With that being said the tuberose sticks out like a sore thumb but is not as potent in other scents. I believe the gardenia and jasmine mellow it out, making it more wearable. I really don’t get any pear but also tons of musk. This seems more wearable in cooler temps. Longevity and sillage are great. I might get my mother a bottle for her B-Day.

  24. :

    Wow! I understand Fizzy jumping around with happiness over this perfume. So am I! I agree it is something like the “new” Fracas, but very modern. The gardenia note isn’t as strong as in Fracas, and the Tuberose is more delicate (not weak), richer and fresher than in Fracas. It does feel lighter, but the longevity and sillage are about the same for me. Oscar de la Renta’s Mi Corazon is very similar to this, but instead of gardenia it has ylang ylang and also feels light and fresh.
    This is just a wonderfully beautiful, feminine white floral perfume. As are Fracas and Mi Corazon! I would pretty much recommend all three for the tuberose lover, but if you only want to try one, go for Douglas Hannant. Congratulations, Aurelian Guichard, on this great beauty.
    This is a truly wonderful addition to the perfumer’s art!

    Douglas Hannant de Robert Piguet (2011) is part of a Piguet renaissance that saw the venerable old house release more than ten fragrances in two years (with three more coming for 2013). The Douglas Hannant fragrance is the first released by the house in nearly half a century.
    Douglas Hannant is a NY-based fashion designer whose career arc hasn’t quite had the highs of the big names of American fashion. Nevertheless, he has enjoyed success clothing “society” for its myriad glamorous functions, including weddings.
    For his partnership with Piguet, perfumer Aurelien Guichard created a youthful white-floral perfume that owes much to Piguet classic Fracas. Each features a central bouquet of tuberose, gardenia, jasmine, and orange blossom, and the relationship of one to the other is unmistakable. The same complex fusing of tuberose to orange blossom that results in Fracas’ shimmering summer haze holds true in the Hannant scent; it is a Piguet signature and one that has stood the test of time for the house. To this, Guichard adds a pear note that has floral overtones rather than syrupy, tinned ones so abused in lesser perfumes. If this is meant to make the classic floral arrangement smell “modern” then it succeeds in a quiet, understated way.
    As a long-time wearer of Fracas, I questioned whether I would need Douglas Hannant. It turns out I did; aside from the pear note, the base notes are dissimilar. I’ve always picked up a good deal of vetiver in Fracas; there is no such drydown in Douglas Hannant. Hannant’s drydown is a soft white musk and slightly powdery sandalwood that leaves just a trace on the skin after a day’s wear. I have been wearing the Hannant this summer more than I have summer-staple Fracas and enjoying it every bit as much.
    While Douglas Hannant might seem to be a younger sister to Fracas, it isn’t delimited by age. Anyone can wear this one with confidence in a softened glamour not likely to offend or cause overt remark other than how wonderful one smells.

    When I first sniffed Douglas Hannant I dismissed it as a diluted Fracas “wanna be”… but I was wrong!
    Perhaps it was winter’s dry skin or a tired nose; regardless, I’m so glad I saved half of my sample vial for a last try on a warm, sunny summer morning because DH has proven full-bottle worthy and earned a place on my want list.
    I have Fracas but seldom wear it, finding the tuberose just too thick and syrupy-cloying on my skin. DH, on the other hand, uses tuberose as a beautiful accent to my darling jasmine, fresh orange blossom and the essence of juicy pear. A younger Fracas? Perhaps, but I’d rather not assign an age to DH; instead, call it more energetic, brighter, more dimensional and much, MUCH more versatile. DH is suitable for daytime wear in warm and hot weather and can be worn in small spaces — the opposite of Fracas, which can clear a room under the same circumstances.
    Yes, jasmine, orange blossom and pear play starring roles but they’re warmed and made a bit more sophisticated than your everyday fruity-floral by the warm, woody base of musk and sandalwood. I have to agree that it’s pretty much linear but there’s definitely something to be said for something beautiful at the start remaining throughout.
    If, like me, you dismissed DH as Fracas’ poor stepsister, give it another try. You may be as pleasantly surprised as I am!

    This is Fracas Light with a pear topnote. It is a very nice perfume, but as others have remarked, very linear.

  28. :

    4 out of 5

    For some obscure reason my earlier review of Douglas Hannant was removed. I don’t recall being politically incorrect! I stand by what I said – it’s strident and obdurately linear. I kept waiting for signs of life but to no avail! Either that or my olfactory attributes have hibernated. I don’t recall jasmines, gardenias and other whites being so shrill, so bitter. Fragrances normally mellow out on my skin, but not this one. It remains after four hours as blindingly monochromatic as it started out!
    Definitely shades of Fred Hayman 273. And Giorgio, Interesting that packaging on both is terrifyingly yellow! Very Unjasminey to me, all three. But I do very well with the other Piguets, especially Calypso.
    No doubt my chemistry is to blame, Mr. Hannant.

    Mix this one with epic from amouge theres no doubt for me. sweat for a long hot sumer days i still smell good in any weather condition

    I tend to always go for florals, so this is a good introduction to other types of scents (as it is mostly floral with some fruity/ soapy notes). It is quite sweet but not overpowering. A good every day (feminine) scent, that can also be worn at night. Lasting power is pretty good. I sprayed it on my wrist and could still smell it 3-4 hours later, though slightly faded.
    I own a bottle and will be experimenting more. 🙂

  31. :

    It’s a nice perfume, it smells indeed a litlle bit like Fracas, but this one is soapy, while Fracas is creamy and much classier.

  32. :

    5 out of 5

    If Fracas is Grace Kelly, this Douglas Hannant may be identified with Duchess Kate or any other contemporary style icon. Elegant and classy but unmistakably modern without having the cheap soapy feeling too many contemporary creations do possess.
    If you love Fracas and you consider it as a standpoint with no followers, then you might be disappointed with DH, but if you see Fracas as an opportunity and your horizons are wide enough, this is a wonderful alternative.
    The pear not is not too prominent, it just melts into the tubereuse and the gardenia and gives a little boost.
    I am usually a purist and love the scents of the past, but this one does have something that makes me want to wear it every day.

  33. :

    4 out of 5

    I haven’t smelled Fracas, so I have no comparison to it, but I can’t stop smelling my wrist! This one is heavy on gardenia then comes the tuberose. I’m missing the orange flower and pear, but I’m sure they are in there somewhere. So far it’s the perfect amount of floral and sweetness.
    Longevity is very good and sillage is also good. This fragrance is definitely wearable to the office and any occasion day or night.
    A very nice fragrance for white floral lovers!!
    Update: I’ve owned this for quite a while now and just smelled Fracas again the other day. Both are amazing white florals. This one does resemble Fracas but not as heavy. Both are lovely scents 🙂

    This is a strange ultra-strong sickly overly fruity pear-version of FRACAS. Think it’s intended to attract a younger crowd to Piguet-perfumes, considering the fruity-punch a’la FRACAS-gone-bad. FRACAS is nice and classy. This made me feel real sick. Had to wash it off. (Ps. I own FRACAS -and love it)

    Douglas Hannant spoke recently with regard to the launch of his inaguaral scent and after I was given a sample and… it appears to be a winner (we will see after my lady wears it out)! Classy and elegant but not in that “born to the manner” way. This is very approachable.
    Put tuberose, gardenia and jasmine together and things get intoxicating but this done without the sledgemhammer!
    Ok, the notes as I kscent them to be: orange blossom (love it) is short lived and works well with the gardenia. But, they soon depart and the march of the tuberose comes by (strong but restraint) and hangs around for awhile before the base of musk and sandelwood rounds it out.
    Sillage is nice and longevity is most excellent.

    This is indeed the new Fracas, but younger, rich, fruity and floral – very modern.
    If I would not know, it´s from Douglas Hanannt/Piguet, I could swear, it´s from Guerlain.
    The head smells like orange blossoms and is not too strong. It is really captivating. The middle notes is all about tuberose, but not so artificial, like Fracas is, but more naturally, exactly like Carnal Flower smells. This middle notes lasts much longer than Carnal Flower. DH lasts the whole day on me and became more and more intensive. For this reason I guess, they added aldehydes into it, too. Even the next day I got a nice whiff of it. If you like tuberose, loud and long lasting fragrances and fragrances like Carnal Flower, Fracas (which is more simpler, tamer and not so loud), and for example Blonde, you would love it.
    A scent for all time – day or night and a perfect scent for hot and warm days. You can wear it in the office and in the bar also. But you have to test it, because it´s really strong tuberose in the middle part.
    I am jumping around very happy to discover such a beautiful tuberose and orange blossoms fragrance!!!
