Green Notes

Fiercely bewitching and ever-narcotic, the scent of narcissus is renowned for a reason. Its heady, honeyed facets are both animalic and sweet. Rich, floral notes melt into fruity, green facets: the scent of spring liquefied.

Freesia is one of the big floral notes in perfume, along with gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine. What sets freesia apart from the spicy, powdery, and buttery accents in major white floral perfumes is its plump, delicious, sweetness. Freesia has a young, fun, and sensual candy-like texture, and the best freesia perfumes can even resemble a light red wine. Freesia is also one of the softer big floral notes, making it ideal as an introduction to more powerful, forceful florals. Freesia’s flirtatious and casual appeal is best for summer and spring, and makes an equally fashionable day or night option in floral perfume.

Lily is one of the softest, and most feminine notes in perfume. Its dewy, transparent, and pale green tones add an ethereal, yet earthy touch to floral fragrances. Lily’s feathery, airy texture is best blended with other softer notes like linden blossom, peony, osmanthus, and violet. Scents featuring lily as a major note are tailor-made for the spring season. Its bouncy, emerald softness can add a lilting serenity to a youthful bouquet of white flowers. Light, crisp and green—lily of the valley is the epitome of spring. Its scent is delicate and endearing with facets of abundantly fresh, natural dimensions.
