Morning Chess by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a refined and intellectual Leather fragrance crafted for women and men who appreciate elegance, restraint, and modern sophistication. Launched in 2015 and created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, this scent captures the quiet intensity of a thoughtful morning—where sharp focus meets effortless style.

The fragrance opens with a crisp and luminous note of bergamot, delivering a clean citrus freshness that feels bright and invigorating. This fresh opening sets a calm yet confident tone, evoking the clarity of a new day and the precision of a strategic mind.

As the scent develops, the heart reveals a sleek and structured blend of leather and galbanum. The leather note is smooth, polished, and understated rather than heavy, while galbanum adds a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the composition sharp and contemporary. Together, they create a minimalist yet powerful core.

In the base, patchouli and black amber provide warmth, depth, and longevity. Patchouli adds earthy sophistication, while black amber brings a dark, resinous smoothness that lingers close to the skin, giving the fragrance a quietly seductive finish.

Elegant, modern, and quietly confident, Morning Chess is perfect for daytime wear, office settings, and anyone who prefers a clean leather scent with a thoughtful, refined character.
