About
Green notes bring a vibrant, refreshing and energizing quality to fragrances. Revitalizing, cool and effusive, green notes unfold as top notes, lingering transitorily in both feminine and masculine accords. The fresh note is reminiscent of nature—evoking the scent of leaves, foliage or moss, among other vegetal facets. A spontaneous note used in dynamic accords.
History
The refreshing scents of green notes took center-stage after the Second World War, when the world was—quite literally—desperate for a breath of fresh air. Before this time, animal notes were in vogue, with the likes of civet, musk, castoreum, ambergris and hyraceum capturing our imagination. However, it was the couturier, Pierre Balmain, who was the first to popularize a more refreshing fragrance. In collaboration with French chemist and feminine perfumer, Germaine Cellier, the house signed Vent Vert in 1947—marking a cultural shift within the perfume world towards earthy, green notes. The essence of galbanum was a particular crowd favorite at this time, finding itself alongside other notes such as basil in celebrated accords.
