Parterre Fragrances Root of all Goodness is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Jacques Chabert. Root of all Goodness opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Labdanum, Clary Sage, and Hyssop, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Vetiver. Parterre Fragrances's Root of all Goodness carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, a niche hit that rewards patience. Not for everyone, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its distinctive, verdant charm.

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.

About

Opens with a sharp, zesty burst of ginger, bergamot, and lemon, an invigorating prelude that quickly makes way for a complex, aromatic heart. Labdanum, clary sage, and a touch of camphorous hyssop weave a tapestry of herbal earthiness, conjuring images of untamed British woodlands. The dry down introduces a sophisticated leather accord, grounded by vetiver's dry woodiness and a subtle, warm amber finish. It's green in a proper, earthy way, not some synthetic spa affair.
