The Story
Harrods Hemlock is a bold, green chypre that captures the essence of a London garden in full bloom. The opening is a sharp, herbal burst of hemlock and galbanum, softened by a floral heart of rose and jasmine. The base is a classic chypre structure of oakmoss, patchouli, and leather, giving it a sophisticated, slightly dark edge. This is a fragrance for those who appreciate complex, uncompromising scents.
