Verdant

Verdant is a walk through a wet forest at dawn. Mandarin and pink grapefruit give the top a bright, slightly bitter sparkle, and water lily leaf adds a cool, watery greenness like a drop of rain on a leaf. In the heart, bamboo leads with a pale, fibrous, green freshness. Banana flower adds a soft, creamy floral touch, and cardamom brings a light, aromatic spice that gives the greens some bite and movement. The base grounds the scent. Cedarwood is dry and clean, vetiver adds an earthy, grassy depth, and musk smooths the finish into a skin-close wash. It never turns heavy or sweet. As a 30 percent extrait it lasts well, though the sillage stays light and airy, so it is easy on a warm commute or a crowded office. It is a natural choice for spring and summer, humid days and anyone who likes their scent clean and green. Bottom line: a vivid, refreshing green floral with a smooth woody finish.
