New Fragrances from Richard James: Lavender, Vetiver and Cardamom & Pink Pepper
Saville Row's Richard James is to launch the Richard James Cologne Collection. The collection consists of 2006's Richard James Cologne, and three new fragrances which are based on key notes from that fragrance: Lavender, Vetiver and Pink Pepper & Cardamom.

“We wanted to create a collection perfect for every man, which captures the traditional colognes of the past, but with an added uniqueness to inspire today’s modern tastes. Vetiver – truly masculine, refreshing and woody, Pink Pepper and Cardamom  -  exhilarating with a touch of spice and Lavender – a smooth classic, the British scent” said Richard James.

Richard James The Collection consists of the following scents:

Cologne Original

"A sparkling burst of freshness from zesty citruses combined with a warm core of exotic spices such as Cardamom and Pink Pepper. Lavender softens the fragrance and grounds its English roots, whilst warm Vertiver and Tonka Beans close this refreshing scent."

Lavender

"Star Anise, Vietnamese Basil Verbena and Cypress introduce this smooth classic cologne. Finest quality Provencal Lavender is wrapped with piquant Jamaican Pimento Berry and crisp Green Pear. Chinese Cedarwood and Indonesian Patchouli add depth and sensuality."

Pink Pepper and Cardamom

"Pink Pepper from Reunion, Guatemalan Cardamom and Italian Lemon ignite this exhilarating cologne. Chinese Star Anise and Moroccan Geranium add a spicy floral dimension. French Mate Absolute and Cedarwood Heart complete this dynamic blend. "

Vetiver

"Crushed Lemon Leaf, Pink Grapefruit and Fresh Cut Kiwi open this refreshing woody cologne. Madagascan Black Pepper, Cedarwood and Spanish Sage add interest and depth. Egyptian Vetiver is supported by Sandalwood from Mysore and Egyptian Tonka. "



The Collection is available from Selfridges, Harrods, Harvey Nichols , House of Fraser and Richard James at a price of £34 for 100ml Eau de Toilette. All four can be bought as a set for £130.end of article
