What are Green Fragrances?

Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords.


Green:


Green fragrances are a breath of fresh air, offering the sharp, natural scent of crushed leaves and the invigorating feeling of being surrounded by nature. As you inhale the fresh aroma of a green fragrance, it’s as if you’ve just stepped into a lush, verdant garden or a peaceful forest, where every breath is filled with the crispness of leaves, herbs, and clean, earthy aromas.

First, imagine the cool, crisp scent of pine. The fragrance of pine instantly evokes the feeling of walking through a dense, fragrant forest. You can smell the sharp, resinous freshness of the evergreen needles, with a slightly woody, balsamic note that lingers in the air. There’s something rejuvenating about it, like the scent of fresh pine air on a mountain hike or the breeze rustling through the trees in the early morning. It's both refreshing and grounding, as if nature itself is breathing life into you.

Next, the cooling, soothing aroma of mint comes through. The scent of mint is bright and sharp, with a cool, tingling sensation that sweeps across your senses. It’s like standing in the garden on a warm day, the leaves of mint crushed between your fingers, releasing their sharp, almost medicinal freshness. The smell is invigorating, fresh, and slightly sweet, making you feel awake and alive, like a burst of coolness on a summer afternoon.

The herbaceous scent of lavender, adds a calming, soothing touch to green fragrances. Lavender’s sweet, floral, and slightly camphorous aroma reminds you of a field of lavender flowers in full bloom under a soft, warm sun. Its herbal freshness is simultaneously calming and energizing, wrapping you in a cool, relaxing aura. The slightly spicy, floral scent is light yet rich, creating a sense of tranquility and natural balance that’s deeply comforting.
