RYKIEL GREY
Description
The sensual fragrance dreamt up by Edouard Fléchier (MAN) starts off with tart, green notes, as mild as star anise and as bold as green apple. The warmer middle notes are a reassuringly refined mix of spices and rosewood. It comes to a sophisticated finish thanks to sandalwood, musk and tonka bean.
At a glance
First came the women’s version, and now Sonia Rykiel wants men to have access to a fragrance that offers all the warmth and comfort of a Parisian loft.
History
Rykiel Grey – grey like Paris on a rainy morning – is the urban fragrance par excellence. Grey as in damp sidewalks, streets and traffic; it is also a sophisticated, contemporary, graphic grey. Warm and mineral, this is the grey of a classic scent, as comfortably reassuring as a cashmere sweater.
Range
Eaux de Toilette 2.5 and 4.2 fl. oz.
Bottle
Designed by Alain de Mourgues, the bottle is shaped like a Rykiel sweater. Transparent and dark, the glass is made from a grey lacquer with subtle nuances.

Grey days are boring but you don't want constant cheer. Or do you? That said, I am painting all my walls different shades of grey and loving them. I have one bathroom, one bedroom, and a kitchen in grey. It's the new neutral. I trust Sonia.
