Grin

Ayala Moriel · 2000

Fresh · Floral · Green

Ayala Moriel Grin is a chypre-style women's fragrance with a fresh, floral and earthy green character. Green pepper, galbanum and violet leaf open it sharp, fresh and slightly spicy. In the heart, Turkish rose and Bulgarian rose join Jasminum auriculatum and Tasmanian boronia for a soft floral turn. Vetiver, oud and oakmoss dry it down woody and earthy in the classic chypre manner. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without fading quickly. It is described as a women's fragrance. Ayala Moriel Rainforest and Hermès Amazone have a close profile.

Without Words

7.1

Anna Zworykina

Fresh · Floral · Green

Anna Zworykina Without Words is a unisex fragrance that sets fresh, green florals and sweetness against an earthy, smoky ground. Jasmine, rose otto and Bulgarian rose form the floral core, while green pepper, black pepper and cardamom add a spicy edge. Absinth and davana pull the scent towards a green, slightly bitter side, and vanilla with bitter almond carries the sweetness. Patchouli, vetiver and labdanum give it a woody, resinous, smoky depth, with a faintly synthetic touch among the accords. Lalique Hommage à l'Homme Voyageur and Mark Buxton Perfumes Wood and Absinth have a close profile.

Rinascimento

7.8

Salvatore Ferragamo · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Green

Salvatore Ferragamo Rinascimento is a fresh, floral and green unisex scent that opens with basil, Italian mandarin orange and green pepper. The green, lightly spicy basil and green pepper meet the brightness of mandarin in the top. In the heart, orris butter, lily and tuberose add a creamy, slightly sweet floral note. Vetiver, sandalwood and orcanox set these flowers on a woody base. Its sillage is rated good, and half of the voters find it strong. It sits easily on both men and women, fresh yet soft. Those after a close profile could look at Guerlain Joyeuse Tubéreuse and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Jardin Blanc.

Asiya Imperial

8.3

Mellifluence Perfume

Fresh · Floral · Green

Mellifluence Perfume Asiya Imperial is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, floral character with green, spicy and resinous touches over a woody body; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate, at 6.5 out of 10. It sits comfortably on both men and women, without leaning toward either. Copal resin, blue lotus and Persian rose sit side by side. Papua oud and sandalwood build a woody base, pear and apple add a fruity freshness, and civet leaves an animal trace.

Tantrum

6.2

Boy Smells · 2021

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Boy Smells Tantrum is a fresh, green unisex fragrance built around mint, bergamot and green pepper. It opens cool with mint and bergamot, while green pepper and galbanum add a bitter, leafy edge. In the heart, sandalwood and iris soften that sharpness, and tagetes and maté keep the green tone going. The base of vetiver, Virginia cedar and ambrox carries the citrusy, spicy character onto a woody footing as it dries down. Overall it stays crisp and dry, well away from sweetness. Caswell-Massey 2571 and Wide Society Acqua Travelis have a close profile.

Limestone

6.2

Thorn & Bloom · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Thorn & Bloom Limestone is a unisex scent that pairs fresh, green citrus with a floral touch and a light spiciness. Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, so it stays close rather than leaving a heavy trail. The number of ratings is small, so this impression is tentative. There is not enough information on seasons or occasions, but its fresh character suits anyone. The top opens with bergamot, lime, green pepper and coriander, sharp, green and bright. In the heart, jasmine and champaca add a soft floral note. The base of choya nakh, frankincense and costus root gives it depth. Fruity and synthetic tones run through the accords as well. Mugler Cologne and Dasein Summer have a close profile.
