Truefitt & Hill Grafton is a Cologne launched in 1983. Grafton opens with Citrus, Lemon, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Truefitt & Hill's Grafton carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a proper English barbershop classic - clean, masculine, and sophisticated. It smells like a man who knows how to take care of himself, without trying too hard. Expect praise from those who appreciate a timeless, well-groomed aesthetic.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Grafton opens with a burst of crisp green notes, immediately evoking the clean, bracing air of a traditional shave. As it settles, a refined blend of delicate florals and warm spices emerges, softening the initial sharpness before giving way to its rugged, distinguished base. Here, supple leather and woody undertones intertwine with a smooth amber, creating a scent that's both polished and inherently masculine, with a hint of animalic depth.
