Vilhelm Parfumerie

Morning Chess Eau de Parfum

This Vilhelm Parfumerie Morning Chess Eau de Parfum evokes bright endless mornings in a cottage, minds battling in wit over a chessboard: the memories of Jan Vilhelm’s summers shared with his grandfather. The addictive citrus-leather scent captures the ripe, green lushness of balmy days on the Swedish coast, where grassy notes are light enough to hint at the evergreen sharpness of the distant winter air.

Vilhelm Parfumerie is a niche fragrance brand that blends vintage with the new to create scents that elicit recognition but not familiarity. The label works with renowned French perfumers Jerome Epinette, Bertrand Duchaufour and Marc-Antoine Corticchiato who creatively collaborate for each fragrance. From the popular creations such as Mango Skin, Dear Polly and Room Service to the lesser known masterpieces Morning Chess and Oud Affair, every perfume is packaged in an heavy spun glass bottle and dressed in a saffron yellow label to represent Vilhelm Parfumerie’s contemporary aesthetic. Jan Ahlgren, the founder, named the perfumery after his grandfather as a tribute to the glamor of his era. Discover the brand below.
