[vc_empty_space height="15px"]As former champions, from Björn Borg to Boris Becker and Andy Murray, will attest, not every return to the tour plays out like an inspiring post-script for the ages. But some second acts are destined for greatness. Take the reissuing of RACQUETS, the tennis-inspired fragrance by Penhaligon’s, perfumer of the modern English gentleman. Released in 1989 and retired in the early 2000s, RACQUETS has been reimagined for contemporary noses by Fabrice Pellegrin, a Roger Federer among perfumers, and the result is a winning formula that’s as crisp as Wimbledon whites and complex as the mind of a champion.
