Morning Chess
Morning Chess by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum from 2015 in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, moves into leather and galbanum and dries down to patchouli and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
