The weekend, freshly mown. The Soft Lawn is an Imaginary Authors eau de parfum of linden blossom, grapefruit, laurel and ivy leaves, vetiver and oakmoss, with fresh tennis balls. It is a leisure scent for weekends, or any time you wish it were the weekend: ivy-covered brick, lavish backyard gatherings, a first reading of The Great Gatsby.
Claude LeCoq published his first book, The Soft Lawn, in 1916 while still attending Princeton University. A controversial portrait of adolescent upper-class rebellion in New England, the coming-of-age story follows Hampton Perry, a charmingly snotty college tennis champ who, after years of having everything handed to him on a silver platter, finds himself handing it all back. A little known fact about the author: LeCoq wore only seersucker suits, known in that era as the wardrobe of the poor, and it was his gallant presence at high society dinners and prestigious sporting events that brought the fabric into popularity among the affluent in the '20s.
