Imagine a legendary British perfume company which enthralled the nation for over 100 years but which declined and became dormant after the Second World war. Ten years ago Simon Brooke traced his ancestry and discovered that he was a great great grandson of the founder of Grossmith. Fired with enthusiasm, by the discovery of the company’s original formulae books with their priceless and detailed descriptions, he is determined to restore Grossmith to it former glory.
The finest natural oils and expertise have recreated three mythical scents known originally to three generations of British Royalty, starting with Queen Victoria. Grossmith was awarded Royal Warrants by Queeb Alexandra and the Royal courts of Spain and Greece. The company created a perfume for the wedding of the future George V and Queen Mary in 1893.
Ten years on since the revival, the three classic fragrances continue to transport the wearer to exotic locations as well as taking them on a journey in time.
