Vert pour Madame
Fragrance notes
Character
Galbanum and violet leaf open the composition with a crisp, snapped-stem sharpness. White peach adds a soft, pale fruitiness that keeps the green edges from feeling too severe. Aldehydes bring a bright, slightly metallic sparkle that lifts the entire opening above the skin. Currant buds contribute a small, tart bite that sits comfortably beside the bergamot.
Hyacinth and narcissus form a cool, slightly watery floral heart. Orris lends a powdery, root-like texture that grounds the brighter blossoms. Moroccan rose and jasmine sambac offer a gentle sweetness, while lily-of-the-valley keeps the atmosphere airy. Neroli and ylang-ylang add a warm, slightly exotic touch to the bouquet.
The base is a classic chypre foundation built on moss and labdanum. Civet provides a faint, animalic depth that feels traditional rather than aggressive. Tonka bean and musk soften the woods, which include Atlas cedar, Virginia cedar, and Australian sandalwood. Indian patchouli anchors the drydown with an earthy, dark presence.
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz composed a fragrance that feels at home in a garden where the morning sun warms the damp soil. It suits someone who enjoys traditional floral structures with a bold, green character. The orris and moss create a refined, slightly serious mood. A breeze moves through wet leaves and fresh cut stems near a blooming narcissus border.
