Imagine...

You’re reclining in a smoothly finished teak chair, your

crisp linen suit still looking smart, despite the warmth of the day—

coins of sunlight dance through the branches of an ancient mulberry tree

glinting along the golden trim of your fine porcelain tea cup

where a curling wisp of steam lifts a hint of bergamot from your Earl Grey into the limpid air.

You lean forward to select a dainty sandwich from an elegant tiered stand and

some freshly picked flowers nestled in a tiny, crystal vase breathe their scent towards you.

A soft thwock of tennis ball on racquet and a

bubble of gentle laughter floats over a neatly trimmed hedge—

long skirts swish and rustle as your

companions return to the tea table.

You raise an elegant forefinger, tilting your panama to shade your eyes and

listen to them gaily chattering.

All is well.

Golden Chypre is a beautifully modern interpretation of a chypre, while still staying true to the traditional character of the classic scent profile. It opens sharp and zesty with a tart bergamot and orange, with a touch of spicy nutmeg. A refreshing heart of floral accords begin to shine soon after, including rose, geranium and heliotrope. Alongside this, a slight green earthiness of patchouli and vetiver make their appearance. The fragrance then dries down to a musky, woody base of labdanum and amber which smells truly classic and regal. While some could argue it’s not a true Chypre due to the lack of oakmoss, it follows the traditional Chypre structure of citrus, floral, earthy and definitely lives up to the name. Grossmith is a renowned example of spectacular British perfumery and this scent is no different - it brings to life the beautiful flowers and regal power of Great Britain while staying true to the traditional French Chypre family. This is a true masterpiece and a stunning creation.
