Origins
Freshman is based on one of the first formulations of William Francis
Truefitt actually dating back to 1805. This subtle and refreshing fougère
was blended with fashion conscious undergraduates of prestigious
universities such as Oxford and Cambridge in mind, who frequented
Truefitt’s Salons while in London, eager to look and smell their best while
attending various fashionable gatherings and mingling with London’s high
society.
