Green Perfumes
This is a category of perfumes whose name seems to say almost everything about them, but, in fact, is more complex than the others. Generally speaking, a green perfume reminds you at once of the open-air life and sends your imagination in a sunny place, with warm breeze. Your nose is invaded with the smell of freshly mowed grass, of wild leaves, of fern and moss, of lemon leaves crushed in the palm of the hand. And the one that never misses is the scent of the flowers and the wild herbs. The ABC of these perfumes has a classical formula that comes from French and it is called chypre. This is a strong, ravishing mixture of bergamot peel oil, galbanum (a precious, rare oil to be extracted from a plant from Persia), resins, fern and musk. It is extremely charming and of an adorable green.
It has been used for the first time by the Coty House, after the World War I in the pathfinder formula Chypre. Guerlain has used the same combination, but adding a little peach scent to his incredible creation Mitsouko. Later, after the World War II, Pierre Balmain has astonished the world of the perfumes with his masterpiece Vent Vert. Another perfume that continues the green revolution is Paloma Picasso, that, besides its green base, owns also a Spanish piquant fragrance. Even more piquant is the Coriandre of Jean Couturier, where, besides the coriander and the pelargonium, the perfumerer has put oak moss and angelica.
The green perfumes had an oscilating presence, driven by the fashion waves, but they have never disappeared, because nobody can give up at their freshness and purity. And they can always make you feel younger, from head to toes.
