Betrothal is a 2011 release from London perfume house Grossmith - a house originally founded in the 19th century by John Grossmith before being resurrected. Years of research led to finding the original formula books, from which Grossmith's original 19th century fragrances were brought back. Today, Grossmith is run by Simon, Amanda, Eleanor, and Kate Brooke - 5th and 6th generation descendants of John Grossmith - that have "restored Grossmith to its rightful place as a prominent classic English perfume house that once again is producing the finest perfume in the world."
Betrothal, a Floral Woody Musk, is one of the Royal Collection fragrances, which have re-connected Grossmith with royalty, having been created to celebrate recent, significant royal occasions." Betrothal celebrates the engagement of of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, and was released on their wedding day. This fragrance, composed by Trevor Nicholl, has an aroma profile of floral, rose, fresh, woody, white floral, aromatic, musky, fruity, citrus, and earthy.
From Grossmith:
"Betrothal opens with a burst of lively citrus notes, leading to a ravishing floral bouquet combining Rose de Mai and Jasmine from Grasse. It dries down to a rich sensual base.
Betrothal is a magical, resolutely modern scent with elegance and sophistication. The fragrance – made with the finest materials – is perfectly matched for a contemporary royal love story."
