Hiram Green

All-natural, small-batch artisan perfumes with unexpectedly strong character and performance.

About Hiram Green

Hiram Green is an independent perfume brand created by Canadian perfumer Hiram Green, who has been working under his own name since 2013. Before launching the label, he founded the Scent Systems perfumery in London, then moved to the Netherlands to focus on composing fragrances exclusively with natural materials. He lives and works near Amsterdam and develops and produces his perfumes in his studio in Gouda, The Netherlands.

The brand is built around 100% natural formulas made in small batches, using ingredients that are described as sustainable, ethically sourced, GMO-free and cruelty-free. Green introduced his first perfume, Moon Bloom, in 2013, and in 2019 his leather fragrance Hyde received the Art & Olfaction Award in the Artisan category, a prize that specifically recognizes independent, experimental perfumery. Retailers and the brand itself consistently describe the scents as intense, opulent and expressive, with colors that come directly from the raw materials rather than added dyes.

Hiram Green’s work is often cited by stockists as an answer to the criticism that natural fragrances are weak or short-lived, highlighting strong performance and distinctive character despite the all-natural palette. All compositions are authored by Hiram Green himself, keeping creative control tightly in-house and positioning the brand firmly within the artisan and indie niche segment.

Natural florals resins woods balsamic green leather
  • Scents tend to feel dense and saturated, with a lot of character for an all-natural line and little filler between top and base
  • They often have a vintage-style richness while still feeling raw and botanical, with colors and textures that clearly reflect natural materials rather than polished synthetic accords

How It Compares

  • More artisanal and natural than Diptyque
  • Less sweet and commercial than Mancera

Who It's For

Best For

  • Natural-perfume enthusiasts who still want strong performance
  • Collectors of niche and artisan houses
  • Wearers sensitive to synthetic aroma chemicals
  • Cold-weather or evening wear where richness is welcome
  • Fragrance fans interested in artistic, small-batch creations

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Consistently high-quality natural materials and clear craftsmanship
  • Distinctive, recognizable style across the line despite varied themes
  • Strong longevity and presence for an all-natural brand
  • Transparent ethics around sourcing, cruelty-free and small-batch production

Weaknesses

  • Limited distribution and availability compared with larger niche houses
  • All-natural formulas can feel too dense or rustic for those used to polished designer blends
  • Higher price per milliliter than many mainstream options
  • Relatively compact catalog, so fewer options for people seeking dozens of styles

Brand Evolution

Since the launch of Moon Bloom in 2013, the brand has expanded from lush white florals into themes like dark leather (Hyde), green chypre and gourmand-leaning compositions, while keeping a strict all-natural formula policy. Over time, the technical polish and complexity of the perfumes have increased, as reflected in industry recognition such as the 2019 Art & Olfaction Artisan award for Hyde. Despite growing critical attention, production remains small-batch and hands-on in Gouda, rather than scaling up or diluting the concept.

Quick Verdict

Hiram Green is one of the few fully natural houses that can convincingly compete with mainstream and niche synthetics on intensity and character. If you like bold, crafted perfumes and do not mind a higher price and limited availability, this is a line well worth sampling.
