A beautiful all-day scent
Claude LeCoq published his first book, The Soft Lawn, in 1916 while still attending Princeton University. A controversial portrait of adolescent upper-class rebellion in New England, the coming-of-age story follows Hampton Perry, a charmingly snotty college tennis champ who, after years of having everything handed to him on a silver platter, finds himself handing it all back.
A little-known fact about the author: Claude LeCoq wore only seersucker suits, known in that era as the wardrobe of the poor, and it was his gallant presence at high society dinners and prestigious sporting events that brought the fabric into popularity among the affluent in the ’20s.

Published in 1916, The Soft Lawn is a controversial portrait of adolescent upper-class rebellion in New England. The coming-of-age story follows a charmingly snotty college tennis champ who, after years of having everything handed to him on a silver platter, finds himself handing it all back.
His selfless acts of altruism anger his family but catch the eye of a budding poet, setting in motion a secret romance that challenges the decorum of the well-to-do community. Shots are cooly volleyed back and forth but as tension rises, it becomes clear that only one side can triumph in the end.
Thousands of five star reviews
Wow! This smells just like a grass tennis court! It’s so original and aromatic. And yes, it smells a bit like tennis balls, fresh out of the tin. But it also kind of reminds me of a cologne or an aftershave, in a very nice way. Wonderfully unique.
So you watched challengers and now want the perfume version, huh?
Makes me think of summer camp and lying on the grass after swimming.
