  The opening is brutal, filling the room instantly. It’s green, but not forest green; rather, it smells of trampled grass. There’s a sweet note that fades quickly, while angelica dominates the neroli. It smells niche and potent, yet like a strong essential oil; the composition simply doesn’t suit me. Despite the awards listed on the website, it’s not something that inspires me to wear it; other greens like Neandertal Light are much more wearable. After an hour and a half, it softens slightly, but the shrill potency fades fast, leaving behind a scent of grass oil. I can’t think of any fragrance with such a rapid drop-off. By three hours, it shifts to a more generic green. The notes don’t add up: I don’t detect cardamom, only immortelle. By four hours, it’s finally on the skin and lasts another half an hour. The composition doesn’t work for me, I don’t like it, and I can’t see it being usable except for experimentation. Scent: 5/10, Longevity: 7/8h, Projection: 2+ metres for 1.5h, Emotional Impact: No, Originality: 8.5/10, Price: €140 (50ml), Recommended: Low.

By three hours, it shifts to a more generic green. The notes don’t align: I don’t detect cardamom, only periwinkle. By four hours, it’s settled on the skin and lasts another half an hour.

  It’s an extremely green perfume, and it doesn’t smell of neroli to me as they claim. It’s like crushing fresh grass and wearing it; I’ve never heard anything like it. I bought it to try the neroli note, but what a disappointment—I can’t detect it at all. I’ve worn it for two hours with three sprays, and it leaves a cloud that drifts back and forth. I imagine lying on a freshly mown spring lawn. It has great sillage, but for me, it’s not pleasant to wear.

  It’s an extremely green perfume, and it doesn’t smell of neroli to me as they claim. It’s as if you’d crush the grass and apply it to your skin; I’ve never heard anything like it. I bought it to try neroli, and what a disappointment—I can’t detect it at all. I applied it two hours ago with three sprays, and it leaves a cloud that comes and goes. I imagine lying on a freshly watered spring lawn. It has a strong trail, but for me, it’s not pleasant to wear.
