The House of Grossmith, rival to great French fragrance houses in the late nine- teenth and early twentieth centuries, has been revived by Simon Brooke, great-great grandson of founder John Grossmith. Three of the original fragrances which once graced so many high society dressing tables have been launched in newly-designed, oval reeded bottles produced in 100ml, 50ml and 10ml by STO-Flaconnage. The Holmes & Marchant branding and design agency has worked with Simon Brooke to devise the vi- sual identity of the revived Grossmith line. Original bottle shapes, decorative designs and typefaces have been drawn on to pro- duce an up-to-date design concept that has its roots firmly in the past. Caps have been supplied by PlusImage and pumps by Em- sar. The international Stölzle Glass Group has its headquarters in Köflach, Austria and its five production sites include STO-Fla- connage of Knottingley, West Yorkshire. The group provides a wide range of both custom moulded and standard bottles.

The Celtic word for 'established' is used on the neck label to highlight the distillery her- itage. The wooden closure features the botanical wheel, which shows the direct relationship from each point of the embossed asterisk.
