Description
“Hyde Park is the largest green oasis in London: enormous, beautiful and memorable. Various types of plants, a wide theme garden, such as a rose garden, provide visual and fragrant sensation, which is absolutely unique. Features of the park inspired our perfumer Maurizio Cerizza to create a brand new, original fragrance.”—Hugh Parsons
Fragrance Hyde Park opens with green, aromatic notes of fig leaf accompanied with citrus accords of bergamot, spicy aromas of pink pepper and angelica, along with fruity shades of currant and aromatic artemisia. The heart of the composition is floral and inspired by theme garden of Hyde Park—created of Damascus rose and sambac jasmine blended with characteristic fruity notes of fresh and sweet figs. The base is woody-oriental, mixing flavors of patchouli, fig wood and Haiti vetiver, along with warm oriental shade of amber, labdanum, incense and creamy musk providing longevity and depth to the composition.
Hyde Park arrives in the characteristic flacon form of the Hugh Parsons collection as 100 ml Eau de Parfum at the announced price of 109 eur. Besides EDP, the offer will include aftershave as 100 ml at the price of 66 eur. This is a new fragrance which will be presented exclusively at the TFWA in Cannes, to be held at the end of October 2014. Hyde Park succeeds the edition for men in milky white flacon Whitehall. Official sales can be expected starting from October 30, 2014.

If you like fig, fig leaf, greenness, freshness – you’ll probably like this. It reminds me of being in the back of a station wagon heading to the beach when I was a kid windows down, hot air blowing your hair all over, and not caring about a single damn thing in the world except having fun for the day.
It’s ironic because there are not many figs in the deep south, but that’s the overall impression that I get with this scent. When I first tried it, I was looking for fig scents all over because that is one of my favorite notes. I was a little taken back honestly because this is the first fig scented frag that I have tried that was course. This reminds me of sunscreen, but in a good way. Even though it has notes that usually seem heavy, I get a airiness out of this that is really nice. I enjoy the way that the fig leaf plays off of the labdanum. Genius.
It is a unique and nicely done fragrance that I enjoy wearing. I’ve worn it all summer and I think it will do well during the fall too until it gets too cold. I wish I could make the comparison to Dune, but I haven’t ever tried that one. I would have liked to tried it. Cheers!

This is an incredibly green and marvellously aromatic scent! My love at first sight.
Imagine an afternoon walk, in late spring, through the “Royal Baths Park” (Pol. “Łazienki Królewskie”) in Warsaw, Poland. You come to a halt near the monument of Frédéric Chopin, where a piano recital has just started. In the immediate vicinity, trees take a rest after a hot day. The monument of Chopin, and the performing pianist, are surrounded by a myriad of roses. Somewhat beneath them, wild ducks are floating on the pond. The air is imbued with fragrances and the music; rays of the sun slyly sneak through the leaves and the beholders. There is only one pianist, albeit you have the impression that a great orchestra plays. This is not any short composition for the piano by Frédéric Chopin, this is not even his “Revolutionary Étude” (in C minor) – this is the full Piano Concerto No. 2 (in F minor). A true feast of colours, lights, sounds, and – aromas.
Hugh Parsons’ Hyde Park is like this great Frédéric Chopin Piano Concerto. Always inviting. Always variegated. – Always dazzlingly beautiful!
