Green
The Green olfactory family is built around the scent of crushed leaves, cut stems and freshly mown grass. It reads as crisp, sharp and slightly bitter, evoking the smell of a garden or forest right after rain.
Typical materials include galbanum, violet leaf, green notes derived from fig or tomato leaf, and grassy or herbal accords, often paired with light florals or aquatic touches. This family suits daytime wear and mild to warm weather, feeling most natural outdoors or in spring and early summer.
Frequently asked questions · Green
- What does a Green fragrance actually smell like?
