More about Vilhelm Parfumerie Morning Chess
Morning Chess captures the green lushness of a Swedish summer — bright bergamot opening into a heart of Tuscan leather woven with verdant galbanum. Patchouli and black amber close the composition with quiet, contemplative depth. A leather-green fragrance by Jérôme Epinette, often compared to Aventus but darker, greener, and far more pensive. The scent of long bright mornings and grandfatherly chess matches.
