Knize Ten: Vienna's legendary leather fougère
A Viennese tailoring house founded in 1858
Knize is a tailoring house founded in Vienna in 1858 by Josef Knize, which quickly became one of the most prestigious menswear houses in Europe. In 1924, the house created a single perfume, named Knize Ten, composed by the noses François Coty and Vincent Roubert. A hundred years later, this unique perfume is still made to the original formula and has become one of the most legendary men's leather fougères in history.
The Viennese house's variations
The Knize pantheon brings together KNIZE TEN, Aftershave Lotion and Knize Ten Deodorant Stick: so many signatures that have established the house among niche lovers.
A leather fougère from another era
Knize Ten is one of the last great perfumes of the Belle Époque still made to its original formula. No modern reformulation has watered down the animalic character and complexity of the 1924 composition. For lovers of men's classics, it is an absolute benchmark, on the border between fougère, leather and antique amber. A fragrance that has to be earned, and that is handed down.
Who is Knize Ten for, and when to wear it?
Knize Ten is for lovers of distinguished men's classics, looking for a signature unlike anything contemporary. The fragrance belongs to the leather, fougère and amber families, and shines in every season (but especially in autumn and winter). If you like Knize Ten, you will also enjoy exploring Houbigant (the historic creator of the fougère in 1882), Caron and Creed, three other historic signatures at Soleil d'Or.
