Description
The French perfume house Robert Piguet introduced the new collection intended for the Asian market—”The Pacific Collection de Robert Piguet.” It consists of three fragrances inspired by symbolic plants of China—Blossom, Chai and Jeunesse.
“With Jeunesse, Robert Piguet offers a lighthearted and vivacious fragrance that is as elegant as it is tempting. Mouthwatering like a raspberry macaron and flirty like a silk summer dress, Jeneusse charms with its alluring sweetness.”
Jenuesse (“Youth”) is a fresh fruity floral fragrance built on the contrast of sweet (raspberry) and sour (pomegranate) notes. It is joyful and the most intense of all three in the collection.
Available as 100 ml EDP.
Jeunesse was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Aurelien Guichard.

I wore this today from an official sample.
I can’t say I DISlike it – but it’s very “meh”.
It is very similar to CK Forbidden Euphoria (which has far better sillage and is more “fun”) – so I’ve switched my perfume of the day to that now.

Loads too sweet and fruity for my taste, but nicely done, with the musk not overwhelming, and the raspberry and pomegranate notes finished with some real style and grace. It’s just classy enough to smell as if it’s an unusual burst of carefree joie de vivre from a sophisticated French stable, rather than just being a teenybopper shower gel flanker trying to aim higher… so while it’s not my thing, I’m more positive about this one than many of the reviews below. Worthy of comparison to something like Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Fraiche Passiflore, rather than to some generic bath-shop stuff. It’s still much LESS sophisticated than many Piguets, though, and is vastly less complex and intriguing than most of the house’s others. Perfectly good spring to summer smell, though, and if you’re a real fan of ripplingly real raspberry, this is likely to please you mightily. Projection and longevity also pretty impressive – like a teenage gymnast in a glittery leotard, it might seem like a tiny girly slip of a thing, but it’s a lot tougher than it seems at first!

Smells like the Ispahan Macaron at Laduree. Those who know it, will know what I mean. And likely agree that’s a good thing.
Exquisitely pretty, but still worldly.x

12 hours later and this still is very strong. So I will say it lasts. But it just smells more and more like Bath and Andy works sunshine mimosa or pretty as a peach. And I only sprayed one spray on my arm and it is a sillage monster. 12 hours later and one spray! I used to wear Bath and Body works in my late teens – that’s kind of when I could have seen myself really liking this so I agree it really is jeunesse. Bond no 9 hi line has an 80’s shampoo smell but I often still wear it in spring because the green notes somehow make it more wearable for me. I just don’t think this is my cup of tea. It really is too young for me – and I don’t even mean too sweet because I can wear pink sugar – it’s just something about smelling like a peachy fruit salad that makes me feel silly.

Today is a big day fragrance-wise. I got my bottle of jeunesse! I’m trying to collect all the Piguet scents, even futur which I have but reminds me of aqua net hairspray. I still like futur tho. Anyway I just tried this and it smells more like peach to me than raspberry but I think that’s something with the way I perceive fragrances. I like that it is strong. I can see where someone might compare it to 80’s shampoo or some body spray from bath and body works. I mean, I can see that but this is much more rich. I’m going to see how it lasts and if it lasts much. I do think it has a heavy sillage. I just applied 1 spray. And it’s loud. I don’t know how I feel about this yet. I don’t get sour or bitter. Mmmm the top notes were more peachy and now it’s full raspberry. Yum. This isn’t for everyone. But if you like sweet then I would say try this. Right. Now my favorite Piguet fragrance is Visa, followed by mademoiselle. It’s too soon to tell on this. It’s not a scrubber and it’s not headache inducing. I don’t know about the euphoria comparison yet. I’ll do a side by side and write about it.

Save your money and buy Forbidden Euphoria instead. They are almost identical. And, truth be told, Calvin Klein did it first.
upd
I’m testing it again. This time I don’t smell patchouli. It’s more similar to Jimmy Choo Exotic and Blossom flankers than to Forbidden Euphoria. The main notes are raspberry and black currant.

i can smell nothing but cheap soap here
very disappointing

I`m surprised at the amount of poor reviews. I find it very fresh and upbeat – it`s my weekend fragrance, that I wear with jeans and little makeup. It makes me feel younger, light and uncomplicated.
рафа – :
I was hoping this would be a tastefully done fruity fragrance and what I found was some sort of unfinished bitter unripened fruit project. Although I do like the smell of it, I don’t like it as a perfume… Unless I can find something to layer it with. I think it is far too bitter and bland-smelling. A good metaphor for how I feel about this purchase is: getting ready to bite into a juicy raspberry but discovering that it’s totally not ripe yet.
If this was a candle, laundry, cleanser or room spray scent I would be very happy.

A sugary musky scent, with nondescript woody undertones; it does smell like a shower gel, indeed. This one reminds me of I Profumi di Firenze Mora Selvatica, except Mora Selvatica is smoother, muskier and does not smells like a shower gel. I’m definitely going to pass on this one, although I see how this scent might be appealing to someone who likes fresh fruity musks.
Update: on top of everything, it has the worst lasting power! 🙁

Lots of raspberry & macaron sweetness then the pomegranate shows up along with gentle flowers. I barely notice the musk so it must be very lightly done. This feels like a young girl’s fragrance although much better done than the celebrity versions. It’s all done with a light & elegant touch. I spilled my sample bottle on my bathroom countertop & the room was filled with a pretty raspberry macaron scent. I bake my own macaron & that is what they smell like! This has a moderate sillage & lasts less than 3 hours on my skin.
While I like this fragrance, it’s not my style and I don’t think I’m the age group for it. But if I had a tween/teenager, I wouldn’t mind if she wore this. I think I would have loved this as a young girl.

Do not like this unfortunately. So on my skin it smells very synthetic and sharp, something i was not expecting from this house. Definitely sour fruity pomegranate and musk seem the most dominate notes, slightly sweet & juicy, but not well done to be outstanding. I do not get strong raspberry or currants, they seem to be sitting quietly in the background. Only In the dry down its like a raspberry macaroon with artificial sweetener. Try before buy! Reminds me of a number of generic sour sweet berry fragrances already on the market.

I smell first a very nice grapefruit scent in the opening.
Then I smell a mix of blackcurrant and mango.
I find this composition to be well appointed with the name of the perfume “jeunesse”, which means “youth”. I could imagine a more mature woman, still young at heart wearing it in the summer.
uhbujhmtd – :
Of the three scents in the Pacific Collection I like this one the most. It actually has some lasting power and sillage, where the other two do not. The opening is a bit synthetic but settles down to a very pleasant berry musky rosy floral scent. I really like the drydown. I don’t notice any coconut macaroon note as others have. I think that would ruin this for me. I also don’t see this as a particularly “young” fragrance. The opening could be interpreted as being a bit juvenile but I think it quickly moves into a rich maybe not quite sophisticated scent but at least a “grown-up” fragrance none the less.

This is a pretty, sweet, fruity berry scent. I get the raspberry note later, in the beginning I smell more blackcurrant leaf. I think its very likeable.

Well for some of us who find most Piguet fragrances unwearable, this is a lovely change!! I appreciate the quality and distinctive qualities of the brand, but some of Piguet creations are suffocating to my nose, Jeunesse is drizzling with the most authentic raspberry smell I have encountered, high quality, not very sweet, just real raspberry scent …the musk isn’t very far either, this is definitely a Piguet I would wear!!
gapur2009 – :
While I love most of Robert Piguet’s fragrances, I am not a fan of Jeunesse. It is to fruity and does not develop any depth in my opinion. Oh well, there are many more in the Robet Piguet’s family of fragrances for me to choose.

I do not understand why to ruin such exclusive brand with such cheap fragrances.
This is pure fruity bathfoam/shower gel/ deodorant, you can find in every supermarket. In fashion expecially in the 90s.
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!!
A true scandal. A loss of creativity.
It smells and “taste” also like those marshmallows that you find in black or red, made with praline on done to imitate blackberries and raspberries, you can find into Cinema’s sweet corners.
