Origins
Grafton is another fragrance whose name is intertwined with and inspired by the rich naval tradition of Britain. This classical, woody fragrance with spicy oriental notes was named to commemorate a long line of HMS Grafton battleships. The name ‘Grafton’ was given to Truefitt’s newly blended fragrance in 1983 at the suggestion of one of HMS Grafton’s officers who, while being attended to by a Truefitt’s barber, particularly liked this unmistakably masculine fougère aroma and suggested that the new fragrance be named after the gracious line of HM battleships.
