Duppe Scents Verdant Essence is an Eau de Parfum. Verdant Essence opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambergris. Duppe Scents's Verdant Essence carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Verdant Essence follows Original Vetiver's bergamot-vetiver structure closely, but its base is lighter and less soapy than Creed's, so the office-ready polish of the original comes through only partway.

About

Verdant Essence opens with a dry bergamot-and-mandarin combination brightened by ginger, echoing the crisp citrus start of Creed's Original Vetiver. Vetiver takes the lead through the heart, grassy and green rather than smoky or earthy, with a touch of iris adding a soft, slightly soapy lift. The base settles into ambergris and musk for a clean, grounded finish. The overall arc, bright citrus giving way to a transparent, green vetiver, is a fair likeness of the original's shape. What's missing is some of Creed's celebrated French-milled savon character, the soapy, iris-driven polish that reviewers say makes Original Vetiver such a natural office fragrance; here that finish is simpler and a touch more ordinary, without quite the same refined, boardroom-ready sheen.
