Viridian
6.5DSH Perfumes · 2008
Fresh · Citrus · Floral
DSH Perfumes Viridian is a unisex chypre with a green, fresh character, where citrus, floral and earthy touches round out the structure.
The top notes bring celery seed, bergamot, artemisia and angelica, so citrus brightness meets a spicy, herbal greenness. In the heart, aloe vera, chrysanthemum absolute, galbanum and orris root turn it floral and powdery. The base of myrrh, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood and oakmoss builds the chypre frame and leaves it on a woody, earthy footing. The powdery and earthy tones soften the fresh opening, yet the overall impression stays green and dry. Ayala Moriel Lost Lagoon and Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
