Green Fragrances

A green accord smells like leaves, stems, grass, vines, herbs, snapped twigs, galbanum, or fresh vegetation. It can feel crisp and dewy, sharp and bitter, vegetal and natural, or dark and mossy depending on the materials used. Green notes often appear in chypres, florals, citrus colognes, aromatic fragrances, and modern botanical compositions. They pair especially well with violet leaf, tomato leaf, basil, mint, fig leaf, galbanum, oakmoss, vetiver, citrus, rose, jasmine, and woods. In florals, green facets can make petals feel freshly cut; in woody or earthy scents, they add outdoor realism. The accord may feel elegant, clean, wild, or bracing.
