Story
The inspiration for this exciting blend was derived from an original formulation dating back to the late 1850s, and was specially blended for Viscount Palmerston, one of Queen Victoria’s Prime Ministers. This blend was to inspire Truefitt’s modern fragrance, 1805. The recipe for “Palmerston Bouquet” lay unused for over a century and only in 1998 was it brought back to be reformulated and reorchestrated. 1805 commemorates the year in which William Francis Truefitt opened his salon doors for the first time.
