What does VerdiGris smell like?

It opens with rust, copper and turpentine, a sharp metallic start that blackcurrant absolute softens. In the heart, Indonesian and Thai oud, sandalwood and jasmine sambac come forward. The base of vetiver, labdanum and several ambergris notes lays down a creamy, resinous floor.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. The mix of woody, floral and earthy accords keeps it from leaning to either gender. Its profile is close to Ensar Oud Black Gris and Lost Tribe Always Greener.
