The house

More from Vilhelm Parfumerie

Vilhelm Parfumerie is a Swedish niche house that launched its first perfumes in 2015. Its style leans fruity and sweet, often with a floral heart, but the base goes darker than you might expect: patchouli, black amber, leather and a touch of oud. Pink pepper and saffron add spark along the way. Mango Skin is the easy entry, ripe mango and blackberries with a sugared floral glow. Morning Chess and Smoke Show both come from that first 2015 set and show the house in a moodier light. Nearly the whole range is unisex, so wear whichever pulls you.
