What does Viper Green smell like?

Galbanum and angelica root give the opening a green, slightly bitter edge, which green mandarin brightens with citrus. The heart of jasmine sambac, Rosyfolia® and orris absolute adds a floral, powdery softness. Haitian vetiver and Indonesian patchouli ground it underneath.

Most voters pick spring and summer, mainly for leisure, work and daily wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though it works as unisex.
