Vilhelm Parfumerie Morning Chess Eau de Parfum 100 ml – A Bright Green Leather Composition
Discover Morning Chess by Vilhelm Parfumerie, a unisex leather Eau de Parfum that contrasts luminous bergamot with green galbanum and refined Tuscan leather, before settling into a warm base of patchouli and black amber.
Launched in 2015 and created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, Morning Chess is inspired by a clear summer morning on the Swedish coast, where sunlight touches fresh grass and two players quietly challenge each other across a chessboard.
Top Note
The fragrance opens with the bright citrus character of bergamot, creating a fresh and energetic introduction.
This luminous opening prepares the composition for its greener and more leathery heart while giving the fragrance an elegant first impression.
Heart Notes
At the heart of Morning Chess, Tuscan leather blends with the distinctive green character of galbanum.
Tuscan leather provides smooth, sophisticated depth, while galbanum contributes a sharp, resinous freshness, creating a bold yet balanced contrast.
Base Notes
The fragrance settles into earthy patchouli and the enveloping warmth of black amber.
These base notes give the composition a darker and more refined finish, balancing the brightness of the opening with the green leather character of the heart.
