Café Royal launches Givenchy perfume cocktail set

London’s Hotel Café Royal is to launch a collection of botanical cocktails in collaboration with Parfums Givenchy, having matched each cocktail to one of ten scents.

The Green Room’s Oud Flamboyant

Available at the hotel’s Green Bar from 22 August, each of the ten cocktails have been developed by bar manager Derren King to reflect the L’Atelier de Givenchy fragrance collection and the bar’s focus on botanical ingredients.

The fragrances will be kept behind the bar for guests to sample before choosing their preferred cocktail from the list, inviting guests to follow their nose when selecting their cocktail.

Each cocktail has its own distinct colour and personality to reflect its corresponding fragrance, and will be served with an appropriately scented button, created by Givenchy.

The cocktail collection will be available in the hotel’s Green Bar from 22 August to 30 September 2016, priced at £15 per cocktail.
