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

    Polished
    Fresh, clean, and effortlessly polished. It opens with a bright, green citrus that feels crisp without being sharp, then dries down into smooth woods with a subtle leather softness. This is the kind of scent that makes you feel instantly put-together — modern, refined, and easy to wear. It’s not loud or flashy, but it’s consistently enjoyable and well-balanced. I found myself reaching for it often and finished the sample quickly, which says a lot.

    Amazing!!
    I’m in love with this fragrance!! It takes very little and lasts for a long time. My husband smelt it some where and suggested for me and it is amazing!! I feel it’s a bit masculine, but my hubby disagrees. Can’t wait to purchase the full size.

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.
