I wore a sample of N°19 and felt so good wearing it, elegant, mind clearing and happy! And Herba Fresca is the most green and yet golden scent, as if you drink a traditional mint tea in an appropriate glass with a gold rim. I tried the very interesting Nerolia Vetiver yesterday and rewatched your review which made me think there is some green aspect.

The first time I smelled 'Jasmine White Moss' my thoughts immediately drifted into thinking this would be Galadriel's scent. Bright as the light that lingers, superbly balanced wood, lush green, white florals. Translucent. It's white starlight and sparkling diamonds. Absolutely beautiful.

Hello Persolaise, I hope you are enjoying your vacation somewhere nice. I certainly did and was happy to catch your video when I got back home. Green and vetiver scents are my favorite so you seem to be catering just for me here ;-) I love most of the perfumes you mention (Bel Respiro, Cristalle, Corsica Furioso, Un Jardin en Méditerranée) and as always you introduce me a few that I didn't even know existed! I would love to try the Cartier! My favorite greens at the moment are good old Eau de Campagne (by a very young Jean Claude Ellena for Sisley) and Dryad from Papillon. I also love Hinoki by Comme des Garçons, though that leans very much towards woody / piney / coniferous territory. It still smells green to me though. Thank you for another lovely video!

i seem to be the only one who prefer Bel Respiro EDP over EDT. EDT is also wonderfull but it gives too much at first and after that i felt in a constant debt spiral to get that first sniff back. EDP is a bit deeper and bit more lineal but still complex enough. I think being linear is something that fits green scents better than other genres. I also like Synth. Jungle for giving that bitter galbanium longer than the ones like 19 (though 19 is 20 times better but there too: the opening is so nice and than it just goes and evolves itseld some other wonderfull scent so i like that better but good to have a long lasting bitter formula like S. Jungle so i dont have to be in panic when 19 just morphs from the opening. So one can enjoy the 19 better since S.Jungle i would say :)).

I love green perfumes a lot - Nuit de Bakelite (NG), Le Rayon Vert (Sultan Pasha Attars), Chypre Chrysantheme (SPA), C°19, Vol de Nuit (Extrait), Dryad (Papillion), SOMA (NOT Perfumes), and some oud oils (not all) from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Philippines neat. I mention oud oils from those locations here because they are gorgeous perfumes on their own for their herbal, sometime leathery and sometimes musky, and intensely vernal qualities. The way they unfold on skin is truly spectacular. I wear them quite frequently - especially in warmer weather when I can't wear my Hindi ouds as much and as frequently as I like to.

I am most drawn to spicy ambers and the feeling of warmth in perfume. I sought out Herba Fresca and Bel Respiro because of your previous reviews, and really love that style for the humid heat of summer. I find the No.19 and Cristalle style greens very challenging to wear. It is not so much the green as the emotional iciness I find so difficult. This emotional response makes me curious. It makes me want to wear them as a form of exposure therapy to face my psychological discomfort.
