Sylvaine Delacourte Smeraldo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Irène Farmachidi. Smeraldo opens with Angelica, Yuzu, Vetiver, and Pear, settles into a heart of Hawthorn, Mastic, and Pine Needle, and dries down to a base of Lime, Cedar, and Rose. Sylvaine Delacourte's Smeraldo carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Smeraldo is a polarising green musk, either a uniquely comforting and sophisticated hug or an abrasive chemical mess. Sample before you buy, as the angelica and green notes are not for everyone.

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

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. The fresh, clean character also makes it a good everyday casual scent, though its divisive nature might make it less universally appealing for dates or formal events.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Opens with an invigorating burst of zesty yuzu and crisp vetiver, sharpened by the distinctive, aromatic greenness of angelica. This initial fresh energy mellows into a creamy heart where delicate hawthorn and pine needles intertwine with a soft, almost powdery rose. The dry down reveals a subtle woody base of cedar and lime, anchored by a gentle, clean musk that lingers close to the skin, offering a fresh yet warm embrace.
