“They hopped the fence of the Governor’s Mansion, laid side by side on the cool grass tennis court, and invented constellations until the sunrise usurped their astral empire.” -Claude LeCoq
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.
Like a spring breeze, light as musk, with verdant leaves, laurel, and sweetly clean linden blossom- and a perfect evocation of the utterly unique ozonic rubber of a freshly popped can of tennis balls. An elevated leisure fragrance, wear The Soft Lawn on weekends... or anytime you wish it were the weekend.
Updated for 2021, The Soft Lawn still features every note of bright, fresh, green charm, but the greenness of the lawn is softer and smoother than ever, making it more of an everyday-perfect scent than even before.
