Vilhelm Parfumerie - Morning Chess

Bright endless mornings in a cottage, minds battling in wit over a leather chessboard: the memories of Jan’s summer shared with his grandfather. The soft, green lushness of summer on the Swedish coast, where grassy notes are light enough to hint at the evergreen sharpness of the distant winter air.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Bergamot’s sheer, dry, citrusy feel is one of the most popular perfume notes, especially in mens’ cologne. It’s a Mediterranean fruit grown mainly in Calabria, Italy, and its aroma and taste is slightly between grapefruit and orange. Bergamot is a year-round pleasure to wear, and will blend well with any other note, making bergamot fragrances versatile and a sophisticated option for citrus fragrance fans.
Fragrance family

The archetype of masculine grooming fragrances - fougere fresh compositions include notes of lavender, geranium, moss, and woods. Scents in this family are both fresh and clean, yet sensual and woody - making them incredibly versatile and ideal for a variety of occasions.

    Citrus based scent is a lie
    Its a more earthy toned cologne nothing wrong with it but the citrus element is neglible.

    A refined gentleman's morning
    This is exactly how I want to smell when leaving the house but not going anywhere notable. A refined scent, that still leaves its mark!

About the brand
Explore Vilhelm Parfumerie
More than a perfume, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a library. If some scents are silences, these are tales. Northern lights and Hollywood highlights. North and South. Freshly cut grass and caressing oud. Bracing freshness and burning summer warmth. Simple pleasures and lavish times. Each fragrance is the culmination of a broad, creative and collaborative process – a rare blend of vintage and new that sparks recognition but not familiarity. From its dynamic, innovative scents to the heritage design and timeless prints, Vilhelm Parfumerie is a nod to the past, expressed in our contemporary olfactory language and aesthetic.
