Reiss Parfums: Grey Flower

I was more than intrigued when British fashion house Reiss decided to take a dip into the perfume pool. Having previously worked with the brand on a styling project, I can say that the Reiss customer is someone who looks for pieces that are luxurious and modern but affordable - these are all factors that I was expecting from their debuting fragrance collection.

Launching this Autumn is Grey Flower for Women and Black Oudh for Men. On first whiff these are two very bespoke fragrances,  I am not opposed to wearing aftershave (heck they often stay on longer than perfume!) but after smelling Grey Flower I instantly knew it was the one for me! Musky and spicy in equal amounts; the Armoise and Pimento Berry balance out Sequiona Wood, Jasmine Noir (my fave!)and Cocoa Leaf to create a deep fragrance that is powerful and feminine.

The perfume is housed in a modern metallic bottle that is simple but classic - which reflects the artisan approach to design that Reiss are known for. Also you may have noticed that my bottle is engraved! This is an exclusive at Selfridges and makes the perfect touch if you are gifting this fragrance.


If are on the lookout for an Autumnal fragrance then definitely give this a try! It's currently exclusive to Selfridges but will be hitting Reiss stores nationwide from September 26th 2013.
