Robert Graham launches three new essences for men

Robert Graham, a US-based fashion house, has launched three new men’s blended essences.

Rather than creating the expected Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum fragrance, master perfumers have blended raw ingredients at optimal levels to create a whole new category.

These blended essences are the product of a singular blending and aging process that resulted in rich and expressive scents.

Robert Graham founder Robert Stock said: "Men are so attached to rare and collectible spirits, they’re a part of his life. We created the fragrances and the decanters as something men can relate to – an artful bottle he would want to keep to decorate his desk, study or book shelves."

Robert Graham Courage is a smooth top note of classic Vodka Citron that merges with fresh Bergamot and is finished with subtle Smoky Guaiac Wood.

The Pilote de Course cap was inspired by the original bust created in the 1920s by legendary sculptor Francois Pimienta.

Robert Graham Valour is a line between fresh and sybaritic, mixing top notes including Clary Sage, Coffee Santos and Amber Wood. The English bulldog cap wears a hand-painted purple bow tie representing the staunch, steadfast and spirted nature of the bulldog.

Robert Graham Fortitude is a deep, rich and almost mystical, born of alchemy and the exotic. It has an overly sensual top note of Tobacco Absolute with secondary notes of Patchouli and Tonka Bean. The horned ram’s head cap features green Swarovski crystal eyes, and a steampunk gear base.

The three blended essences are priced at $295 (250ml) and $125 (100ml) at Bloomingdale’s and www.bloomingdales.com. The collection is also available at Robert Graham stores and www.robertgraham.us.
