Visa 2007 Robert Piguet for women

I remember trying Angel years ago and I didn’t like it so I'm surprised after buying Visa and loving it, that that Visa and Angel are said to be alike! I will have to try Angel again, out of interest!
I’ve just sprayed and wow it's strong! That’s not a bad thing though, you can always put less on but you can’t amp up a weak perfume. This is sweet and rich, very much of a type. For me the main contenders are Vanilla and fruit as I don’t really smell the leather very much but it is there and probably stops this from going over the edge into the realms of impossibly sweet. I've been wearing this now for 3 hours, or is it wearing me? Boy this is strong! What a refreshing change though, these days many of the new perfumes have absolutely no guts at all, this one is a refreshing change. Overall my summing up is.... great quality, amazing longevity 10/10 and amazing silage 10/10. Very sweet and rich and well worth the money should be applied in small amounts. Oh and don't make the mistake of wearing in an enclosed space for any length of time, people will hate you!

A crazy (read inebriated party gal) woman yanked this out of her purse at a party a few nights ago and liberally doused me with it! LOVE LOVE LOVE ... first of all it's Piguet ... how can one not love??? Secondly it's Piguet ... :o). I own Fracas and Bandit ... this was ordered the very next day!!!

If ever I would buy and wear a scent with strong fruit notes - none in the league of Mitsouko and Femme, just to be clear - I think I would go with Visa. The white peach opening is strong, almost aggressive but not vulgar. It fades away little by little into a soft buttery vanilla and woods and from the loud opening it melts into a soft simphony. I am not a fan of vanilla and peach in scents but I will certainly consider this one.

This scent although does not suit me ,is obviously an elegant and classy fragrance . I love fracas but this i would associate with my big sister . There is the serious leather and benzoin in the mix with bursts of fruitiness and vanilla ....Im not THAT much of a lady to make this mine Fracas suits me much more, a bit more youthfull and free spirited but for a more sophisticated goddess this is stunning .

It is a silent scent on my skin, I've been expecting something more, maybe the "wow" impression but it didn't happen.It reminds Dior "Dolce Vita" just without cardamom note and some sparkling tones. I couldn't find leather which I love in fragrances. Very special though, benzoin, peach and vanilla together creates a smeel of camomilla on my skin. The smell I enjoy but don't wear myself.

Hi.

This fragrance oozes the self confidence and sexiness of the modern day lady who can handle anything that comes her way.Luxurious, Gorgeous,Sensual,Oriental,Irresistible,Evocative,Warm and Seductively Gourmand.

Smell the fruity accents on top(bergamot,pear and white peach)and you are transported into a nightclub with music blasting out of the speakers and cocktails being served,the floral heart evoking lithe bodies swaying to the rhythm of the song.the dry down includes mysterious note of patchouli,benzoin, vanilla,vetiver and leather to make a sensual and sexy potion.

VISA 2007 is perfect for modern and sophisticated ladies who wants to make a first impression that will not soon be forgotten.the best seasons for this one are Autumn and Winter.Truly elegant and makes a woman feel sexy,mature and confident whenever she wears. This is the scent to wear when you want to get noticed,not for the faint of the hear,wear this and you will definitely get the attention that you want.

Sillage?Impressive.

Longevity?Good on my skin.

7/10

Im testing this today and the main notes on my skin are peach, vanilla and a powdery note maybe the benzoin or vetyver. The peach is very noticable after appleing, then the vanilla joins in.It turns into a lovely sweet and slightly powdery scent. Nice and sophisticated

Tried this fragrance this afternoon in Selfridges in London after being told by the saleswoman that this was 'unisex'. Not so sure whether it is unisex after reading that it's for women, but what the hell, I am sure that 'Visa' is an exceptionally alluring, sensual and yes, Gourmand fragrance with a light and seductive texture. Another one for my future wish-list.

I just got Visa and I'm madly in love with this perfume, it's very elegant.
I also have Fracas and I can't wear it too loud, and Bandit I wear in moderation, but Visa I will wear in the summer and Winter because I feel very confortable
and last all day in my skin. Highly recommended.

Visa is a reminiscence of the Christmas holidays.
It smells of dry candied fruits topped with bitter cocoa powder. Adorable and unique in my opinion, I see no similarities with Angel!

A cheap replacement of this scent is Fantasia Fendi! For me there is nothing in common with Angel TM.

Oh, this scent is completely swoonworthy - just
divine!

I feel totally fabulous when I am wearing it and
adore the fruity/chypre vibe it gives off at the start. Later on the immortelle and leather notes are to die for and the drydown is a class act.It is a creation that invites hyperbole.

Wear this scent anytime you want to feel amazing or keep it as your little secret weapon!

Love! At first spray it smells sweet and grassy. I tried again today and it is complex. Complex in the sense that there are so many different and beautiful levels of scents to tune into. The basenotes come through so raw and pure. It has a similar complexity as Tom Ford's Black Orchid. It's the second time around when the realism of what is being smelled comes full circle. Amazing!

What a classy scent is Visa 2007!

It's a luxury to wear such a perfume because the way it travels from the start till dry down is just amazing. It's a perfect balance of notes at every stage.

Visa 2007 starts powdery and is a mix of floral and fruity notes. As it starts to settle, the fruitiness mellows to floral and here I also smell a good amount patchouli. When it settles down completely, it becomes a little sweet and one can tell for sure that this sweetness is of vanilla. Leather seems to have been mixed just right as I hardly smell a harsh leather note in the dry down.

Dry down in any perfume is of great value, because this gives the final verdict for the buyer that if she/he should go for it or not. And I would say Visa 2007 has a very rich dry down and doesn't smell cheap at any stage.

Here's what my teenage sister said when I applied it and entered the room. She was like wow! What a gorgeous scent and it's powdery. Yes, it is a powdery scent right from the beginning and probably the best one for sure.

Visa is AMAZING.
When I tried it for the first time, it opened citrusy and green. I was testing many perfumes then and found it obvious that this one with it's quite cold opening would go along the chypre path.

I was so wrong.
Visa is a woody-floral-fruity.
What moved me from the very first moment was its resemblance to ... no, not Angel.
Prada by Prada. I really wonder why no one noticed... I admire Prada, but its firm patchouli is just too much for me.
Visa has everything just so perfectly balanced.

They share many things: the top of bergamot, other fruits, green feeling when touching your skin; the heart of ylang & rose and the drydown: sandalwood, patchouli, benzoin, oakmoss, vanilla...

What you can't deny Prada is its beautiful carnation and powerful patchouli.
What you can't deny Visa is its fantastic equilibrium in all stages.

I choose Visa!
I really don't have words to describe it!
It's structure is so stable in every single second, yet smells so tremendously natural, unaffected ... in one word: ELEGANT in its all meanings. Because elegance is quality, simplicity, perfect balance.

Warm, powerful, beaming ...
Staying close to the skin and radiating at moments you don't expect it, always ready to surprise you.
The beginning and heart can make your head spin, the drydown makes you feel so comfortable, sensual, so very yourself. In this feature it resembles Bvlgari Black, 1826 by Histoires de Parfums, J'ose by Eisenberg.

Delicious fruits, mind-blowing powdery rose, warm woody base.

On my skin it goes quickly, in about 2 hours, right to its drydown, which lasts and lasts for hours.
Visa is just a bit vinatge.
For a mature woman, who knows what she's worth and what she wants from life.
For a woman who LOVES LIFE.

yes,it's parent of Angel.

I was given a sample of this from a generous member (thank you, Guusje!). I'm not a lover of orientals, but am trying to keep an open mind. I own Piguet's floral creation Fracas and quite like it.

On me, Visa starts off smoky/fruity/spicy and is very LOUD. A very little goes a long way: I've barely dabbed my wrists. At this point I wonder if I've made a mistake -- should I scrub it off? The smoky quality blows away, and what remains is a sweet oriental, and still somewhat loud on my skin. (I'm not sensing any woody-ness.) I could easily see this as unisex.

I'm no expert, but just have a feeling that the materials in Piguet's creations are superior. Yes, very sophisticated, but still too oriental for me, I'm afraid. Maybe there's an oriental out there I'll love. Never say never!

This smells just like Angel on my skin, which surprises me because the notes are all so different except for the patchouli and vanilla.

I get a lot of patchouli and vanilla with some overipe fruit. very gourmand.

I was really hoping for something more original. Im disappointed that this smells all too familiar to me.

Very mature lady smell,,specially when i use Oud before spraying it,,i let the oud rest for minutes then spray Visa to compine and react with each other,,This perfume is used by lots of Royal familes ,,love it

Robert Piguet VISA 2007 opens very fruitily--almost jamlike--and proceeds to a mild, almost savory and slightly arid, ever-so vaguely leatherish drydown via a sweet and spicy patchouli stage. A few floral seasonings are sprinkled here and there along the way.

My distinct impression is that this reformulation was constructed on the ANGEL model. Although this version of ANGELalia is not repulsive to my nose, it definitely is far too sweet for about half of its life, so with the huge slate of competitors in this category, I have no good reason to make this one my own.

VISA 2007 is my least favorite "made for gals" Piguet fragrance, all of which I have now tried. (Doesn't hold a candle to the divine FRACAS!)

To me at first it is fruity esspecially pear with vintage lipstick scent then two or so hours later it become leather smokey scent. Great fragrance not only for women.

This is absolutely stunning- most of what i try leaves me underwhelmed but this is beautiful. Borderline too sweet but holds back before it overwhelms; you have to be in the mood for a headier perfume to wear it! Reminds me of a powdery chloe narcisse that can actually be worn.

If I was a spy, I would wear Visa. Understated and refined from first spray, it is possibly the most elegant fragrance I have ever smelled. It blends into the crowd quietly but don't mistake silence for meekness, this fragrance is determined. I love it. On me it's not overpoweringly sweet at all, it's gentle and slightly powdery with the sandalwood coming through. This is a fragrance for an intelligent, clever woman who travels the world, wears chic silk blouses, drinks fine wine with old friends, who laughs a slot and loves even more. Has made everything else I've ever smelled in my life seem cheap by comparison.

Visa on me is extra sweet, the softest leather one can imagine, and fruits that have been sitting in a crystal bowl waiting to ripe for too long! Somebody took them, mashed them, added the finest and most expensive natural Tahitian vanilla iceacream to them, and then put the mixture all over their most expensive leathery Hermes purse!
The scent is the result!
You look at the mess and you think... what a mess.... but surely it smells delicious!
So in conclusion, Visa is a bit messy. Messy because I cannot decide when it would be appropriate to wear... it's too strong for day, one puff lasts forever, and dangerous for night when somebody may attack you thinking you're edible!
On cloths the smell never goes away, unless you wash them with a lot of detergent. Luckily it smells so good that you don't want it to disappear.
I guess they have to make it worth your money, as this one was well over $100, topping by far my Bandit and Fracas from the same house.
But I suppose you get what you pay for, and it's going to last me more or less forever...

For me Viza is very fruty and sweet.It is sure sofisticated .The lasting power is average

really fruity, sweet and warm, but it feels nearly oily to me which i do not like.

Visa by Piguet was created for "a sophisticated woman travels the world but never gets lost in the crowd. Her signature fragrance is reminiscent of all the places she visits and sights she sees."

So the traveller in me was attracted to try the reformulated Visa. I am not convinced that the right olfactory group is oriental floral, it is much more chypre fruity for my nose. Or, let's say, a spellbinding combination of a bowl of ripened fruits and a bunch of variegated flowers with gourmand lethery chypre accords.
Mandarin, pear and white peach sprinkled with vanilla sugar are leading one into the heart of the fragrance, composed by rose, orange blossom and ylang-ylang deepened by honey, at least for my nose. The composition is never overwhelming, nor cloying, in fact, it demonstrates, how alluring the combination of fruit and flower can be. The gourmand notes are refined and sophisticated. The immortal and moss give chypre quality to the fragrance. As the scent dries down I can also smell the subtle earthyness of patchouli.

Visa is a well done fragrance with depth and character, offering a choice for the cold days.

Nice, very fruity, very lighthearted scent to me, not the one you would expect to come out of the black bottle. I liked it, but next to Fracas it looks very ordinary, though they're in different olfactive groups..oops, is it oriental woody? don't believe that. It's very fruity, rather floral fruity,starting with capital 'F'. I hope my nose didn't play tricks on me

I had forgotten how wonderful Visa was until I resniffed it the other day, it was like falling in love all over again! Love it! A sweet fruity floral but with character, unlike many of the new releases on the market. In the base there's a tiny bit of oakmoss and vetiver, only barely there - like a whisper of a chypre. Gorgeous!!

Really close to Angel, but much more fuity on my skin
