JACK - Richard Grant Perfume

Richard E. Grant, the a British-Swazi actor, screenwriter, and director has launched his own perfume. Grant came to public attention in 1987 for playing Withnail in the film Withnail and I, and achieved international recognition as John Seward in the 1992 blockbuster Bram Stoker's Dracula.

The actor has had a keen interest in fragrance from a young age, so his latest venture into perfumery comes as no surprise. We've heard of perfume having high notes but Richard E Grant's new fragrance may be taking that a little too literally.

JACK, a unisex fragrance, contains a combination of the eccentric presenter's favourite smells including the class B drug marijuana.

The finished perfume includes all of Grant’s favourite ingredients: lime, marijuana, mandarin, vetiver, pepper, cloves and gardenias.

The bottle itself is far simpler than the cocktail of scents: a clear bottle, encased in a red box and a Union Jack draw string bag. It also has a luggage tag that can be personalised for gifts.
