Green perfumes

The green accord is the sharp, slightly bitter smell of living plant matter: crushed leaves, cut grass, snapped stems and fresh pea pods. It gives a fragrance a natural, raw and vivid character.

Galbanum resin, violet leaf, tomato leaf, blackcurrant bud and cis-3-hexenol, the molecule behind the smell of freshly mown grass, are its classic materials. Green notes usually appear at the top of a composition. They pair well with citrus, florals, aromatic herbs and moss, and they play an important role in traditional chypre structures. Green fragrances are especially well suited to spring and summer, daytime wear and days spent outdoors.

The Green accord appears in 28,289 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
