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.

    Not love at FIRST sniff but let it dry down
    I thought I had Made a mistake until the dry down. This just smells like quiet luxury wrapped in clean leather with a touch of spice. Love it love it and I am Guessing it is unisex?

    Not for me
    The description and name of the scent is spot on with what it smells like. I was expecting a lot more from this based on the reviews, but it’s just not for me. It’s not very masculine. I think it could be a unisex fragrance.

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.
