Commissioned by the aristocratic Viennese tailoring house Knize (tailors to the Austro-Hungarian imperial court), Knize Ten was named after the highest handicap in polo. Formulated in 1925 by legendary perfumer Vincent Roubert with mentorship from François Coty, it created the leather perfume archetype—melding rich tannery leather and animalic castoreum with powdery carnation, orris, and citrus in a timeless Art Deco flask.
