Patriotic Perfume: Scents inspired by London
To coincide with the opening of Somerset House's upcoming exhibition 'Perfume: A sensory journey through contemporary scent', we have compiled a list of fragrances that pay tribute to our great city.
While London's most prominent smells may lean more towards pollution, rubbish and dirt than rose petals and cedar, it is a place - as Tom Ford put it - filled with "noble elegance and unconventional spirit." Here are the scents which we believe to capture exactly that.
Paying homage to the London private member's club, Blacks of Soho, this fragrance evokes the heady smells of leathers, fireplaces, wax, brandy and antique books. Mmm.
