Tonnerre 1805 Beaufort London

Thunder. Gunpowder, smoke, rum, lime | Woody

The fragrance imagines moments within the famous Battle of Trafalgar lead by Admiral Lord Nelson.  Powerful chords of smoke, gunpowder, blood and brandy combined with the salty spray of the sea and a penetrating citrus note. The fragrance is uniquely bold in its composition, but ultimately refined, provocative and unique.

A lingeringdark tar note permeates as tar was used to waterproofing the planks of ships, and also to preserve ropes. The brandy note which carries the composition refers to the cask of the spirit which carried Nelson’s body back to Britain for a hero’s funeral.

Perfumer Julie Marlowe was tasked with creating an uncompromisingly bold composition, yet ultimately refined, provocative and unique - a story in a bottle. 

Top notes: lime, gunpowder, smoke.
