le grand bain Sample Pack

Introducing le grand bain, created by renowned master perfumer Ben Gorham, most known for creating the high-end fragrance line Byredo.

The literal translation in French is "The Great Bath" but is also used to describe the deep end of a pool. The latter meaning is often used to signify a level of ambition and accomplishment.

THE SCENT
This fragrance is modern but carries elements from iconic fragrances launched through perfume history giving it a timeless backdrop.

The idea is built around the ingredient Vetiver which is a grass usually cultivated in places like India and Sri Lanka. Vetiver oil is said to have a calming and soothing effect on the nervous system and helpful for muscular aches and even insomnia.

The fragrance opens with a citrusy top note of Lemon and Bergamot. The heart of the fragrance reveals Violet and Cyclamen which is best described as, a light and clean floral note. The Vetiver shares the base with Amber, Cedarwood and Musk. The raw materials used in this fragrance capture a true unisex character.
