Hiram Green Hyde is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Hiram Green. Hyde opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Acacia and Birch Tar, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Vanilla, Labdanum, and Malt. Hiram Green's Hyde carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a polarising beast of a scent, a true love-it-or-hate-it creation. It's a challenging, unapologetically smoky, tarry leather fragrance that's not for the faint of heart, but utterly intoxicating for those who dare. Expect to be noticed, good or bad.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Given its enormous longevity and projection, Hyde is far too potent for the office. It's best suited for cooler weather and casual or date settings where its unique intensity can be appreciated without overwhelming a crowd.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Hyde blasts open with a sharp, medicinal burst of birch tar, quickly evolving into a rugged, smoky leather. Citrus notes briefly peek through the haze before amber and labdanum provide a deep, resonant warmth. As it settles, a surprising malt and vanilla sweetness emerges, tempering the intensity of the smoke and moss, like embers glowing after a roaring bonfire, leaving a dark, mysterious, and somewhat animalic trail.
