Grossmith London

A legendary British perfume company which enthralled the nation for over 100 years but which fell in desuetude in the lean years after the Second World War; 40 years later, Simon Brooke, traced his ancestry and discovered that he was a great great grandson of the Founder. Fired with enthusiasm, he determined to restore the House to its former glory boosted by the tremendous discovery of the company’s original formulae books with their priceless and detailed descriptions.

The finest natural oils and expertise have recreated 3 almost mythical scents known to Lilie Langtry and Queen Alexandra (who awarded Grossmith the Royal Warrant); the company created a perfume specially for the wedding of the future George V and Queen Mary in 1893. The re-launch features the house’s most famous and exotic creations.

Grossmith have created, in conjunction with the perfumers at Robertet, a brand new collection of scents: Amelia, Floral Veil, Golden Chypre and Saffron Rose.
