Our take

This is a perfume that opens like a splash of cold green juice on a summer sidewalk, all tart rhubarb and sharp tomato leaf snapping to attention. Bertrand Duchaufour weaves in pink pepper and green apple for a fizzy, almost electric freshness, but the heart is where the real mischief lives. Honeysuckle and cannabis twine together, sweet and skunky, a floral haze that feels both innocent and very knowing. The dry down settles into vetiver and incense, smoky and woody, with hazelnut adding a faint, dusty warmth that keeps things grounded rather than drifting into incense-bomber territory. The overall character is like a greenhouse that has hosted a secret garden party, the scent of crushed leaves, spilled cider, and a lingering joint on the air.

It feels bright and natural, leaning sharp in the opening before softening into a dry, slightly sweet greenness. This is niche in spirit but approachable, not challenging for the sake of it. The longevity and sillage are moderate, around three hours and a foot of projection, which honestly suits its daytime personality. This is a sun-drenched scent, made for spring and summer afternoons, for markets and lazy picnics, not for black-tie evenings. It suits anyone who loves green, vegetal perfumes with a wink of the forbidden. Skip it if you want a beast mode gourmand or a heavy, brooding incense. This one prefers to laugh in the daylight.
