As announced earlier, Robert Piguet is preparing to re-launch one of the classic fragrances from its catalogue called Visa, a perfume which debuted in 1945 and was created by celebrated perfumer Germaine Cellier.

The perfumer responsible for the reformulation is Aurélien Guichard who also took care of modernizing Baghari, reissued last year. Previously, Fracas and Bandit had been reintroduced as well, in 1996 and 1999 respectively......

As I mentioned myself, this and Cravache have me wondering how they will stand up to the old versions.
I quite liked the re-issued Baghari which I foubnd very elegant and have faith in their efforts.
However the inclusion of pear and peach...hmmm...for some reason they scare me.
But of course I mustn't judge before sniffing.
Thanks for the extended details.
I'm a bit surprised that Visa is attributed to Germaine Cellier. I don't seem to remember any info pointing to this. Is the source of the info the house of Piguet?
Yes, I got the info from the FFCL website.
