Green fragrances are a special family in perfume classification. A coniferous forest after a summer thunderstorm, freshly cut grass under the rays of the sun, wormwood crushed in the palms, lavender blooming in the field, a garden with beds of pharmaceutical herbs, iced tea with mint and lemon verbena ... A thoughtful green fragrance will never remind you of its "chemical" origin, will not smell like scented soaps or shower products. And if you did not develop love with this family, perhaps you just came across the wrong perfume.

L "Heure Vertueuse III Cartier

Plunge into the field forbs. Rub fresh wormwood leaves between your fingers. Rub in the palm of your hand not dry, but lavender flowers filled with the juice of the earth. The amazing aroma of L "Heure Vertueuse III, filled with the juiciness of the spice of herbs, is one of those that cannot be forgotten. Very unusual in its composition, confusing in the first chord - dense, green, and then crumbles in a bouquet of sparkling refreshing greens. The aroma opens beautifully on the skin (do not judge it by a blotter) and has a beautiful train.

Wormwood, lavender, mastic, rosemary, thyme, verbena and thyme.

Un Jardin Sur Le Toit Hermes

The freshness of a garden after a summer thunderstorm, the aroma of uncut grass, bent to the ground with heavy drops, an almost perceptible taste of green apples (such, with sourness, not from a store, but from a grandmother's garden). Aroma is an impression, aroma is a memory. Nothing to do with commercial "roses" or "green" cucumber flavors. It's a completely different kind of green. She is real. So, in fact, the earth, grass, air smell like summer after a thunderstorm ... Catching it on the skin, you want to inhale it again and again ... and apples, real apples with sourness. By the way, be sure to try it in rainy weather.

The composition includes aromatic notes herbs, pear, red apple, magnolia, rosemary, rose.

Lilt Rouge Bunny Rouge

You smell like... like the skin of a ripe, juicy peach! For this compliment alone, you can unconditionally fall in love with Lilt. Surprising and unique, at first surprising with its naturalness, not chemicality. Is it possible to smell like peaches so naturally? It is as if you have stuck your nose into the fleecy fruits freshly picked from the branches and you are already looking forward to enjoying their taste. But the peach doesn't come alone in this fragrance. Lilt opens with a trail of crushed fig leaves wrapped in a violet veil and continues with a slightly powdery trail.

The composition includes aromatic notes fig leaf, herbs, peach, coconut, violet, vetiver and musk.

No 8 Eutopie

Perfume-invitation to an aromatic walk through the famous Parc Monceau, sung in the works of Claude Monet. Smells of greenery, spice of bergamot and resin (galbanum), sourness of lime, freshness of mint, silk flair of neroli, and all this is framed by warm smoky incense. Incredibly curious, confusing fragrance. Slowly opening, rich, aristocratic, and at the same time - very cozy.

The composition includes aromatic notes galbanum, bergamot, lemon, neroli, mastic, mint, incense, white cedar, amber and white musk.

PG09 Yuzu Ab Irato Parfumerie Generale

Juicy sweet-bitter grassy aroma, impossibly beautiful and expensive. Disarms with a bunch of fresh mint, thyme and hyssop (it is he who gives the bouquet a sweet camphor sound). There are also flowers here, but they are like beads on a dress or cherries on a cake - decoration of a solid green base.

The composition includes aromatic notes mint, yuzu, thyme, hyssop, magnolia, myrtle, bamboo, pepper, jasmine, hyacinth.

The Glace Aqua Parfum (Russian Gold Edition) Terry de Gunzburg

A cool, soft, invigorating fragrance based on a combination of our favorite tea, citrus and white floral notes. Beautiful and unusual combination.

Perfume is a way to attract attention. Light and delicate, sweet or fresh, spicy or floral fragrance of perfume will warn you of your arrival, and its loop will not let you forget about you after leaving.

Smells are most strongly associated with the emotional sphere. They improve the state of mind, create a special mood, and the associations caused by them are forever fixed in the mind. Therefore, if you want to be imbued with a new way, feel beautiful and self-confident, be remembered for a long time by a man, learn how to choose and use complex compositions correctly.

In our article we will talk about fragrant guides to the world of plants, what they are, how to choose them, what options can be found on sale.

Floral perfume for women

This is one of the most common and popular types of products. Delicate, soft, sweet smells of flora: familiar (rose, lily of the valley, violet, jasmine, lilac and others) and exotic (orchids, orange tree, strelitzia) - are combined in compositions that can complement the image of any woman.

Any perfume consists of three notes:

• Upper or head. Consist of elements that evaporate within the first 15 minutes. We feel them when applied.

• Medium or heart. They appear 15-20 minutes after application and last from 2 to 5 hours, while the medium volatile essential substances evaporate.

• Lower or base. These components last the longest - up to 10-15 hours. They remain on hair and clothing after the lighter components are gone. They are responsible for the plume and aftertaste left by the perfume.

Most of the fragrances that will be discussed are sensual and bright top and middle notes. Perfumes with the smell of flowers as a base are much less common. But there are a lot of variations with other subgroups. You can easily find combinations with:

• fruity;
• "green";
• chypre;
• powdery;
• woody;
• eastern (oriental);
• leather;
• amber;
• fougere families.

Such a variety of compositions allows you to choose the right option for any occasion. Even common ingredients such as rose and jasmine will feel completely different next to other ingredients. Among the floral perfumes you will find smells that will suit both young girls and more mature women. As well as classic combinations, the relevance of which is not lost over time.

Perfume for a girl: the best floral perfumes

Girls under 25 usually choose one fragrance and use it mostly. At this age, they still often do not distinguish whether this or that option suits them or just likes it. And also do not highlight samples intended for the evening, formal or informal events.

Fresh and sweet, alluring and intriguing notes emphasize energy, lightness and youth. Often, young women like "delicious" smells associated with their favorite treats or famous cocktails.

• by Versace. The very charm of summer and sun. The brightness of orange blossom is softened by notes of pear, turning into a combination of delicate floral tones: freesia, water lily, mimosa. The composition leaves behind a warm plume of woody base oils.

• by Yves Saint Laurent. A nice example of "delicious" perfume. The freshness of fruits and berries is combined with the delicate sweetness of white freesia, rose and lily of the valley.

• by Kilian Splash. Opening, this bouquet will completely change your impression of yourself. The soft notes of peach, bergamot, mandarin and cinnamon move into the sensuality of jasmine and rose and leave behind a trail of woody tones of sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver.

• by L'Artisan Parfumeur. This fresh smell will emphasize the naturalness and charm of youth. It combines the subtle sophistication of jasmine, the sweetness of tuberose, the invigorating tartness of orange and lime.

Popular floral perfumes and fragrances for women

Over time, tastes and requirements for perfume change. Closer to 30, ladies gain confidence and are already well aware of their preferences. They are gradually moving away from fruity, citrus and "tasty" options, making tart and complex shades part of their style. They are more likely to choose sensual smells and bitter notes. Compositions designed for this category of buyers are distinguished by a special composition.

• by Christian Dior. This controversial bouquet will appeal to strong and self-confident women. It combines soft notes of fruits and berries with the tenderness of violet and the coolness of freesia, lily of the valley and magnolia. And musk tones add sexuality to the composition and make this composition a great choice for going out.

• by Guerlain. A perfect example of a floral and chypre combination. A sophisticated and feminine perfume combines the sweet scents of Bulgarian roses with the gentle coolness of peonies, lilies of the valley and freesias, complementing them with the spice of white musk and patchouli.

• from Gucci. Delicate and refined composition. In it, the freshness and coolness of citrus fruits, peony and rose are set off by the velvety sweetness of osmanthus. The bottom notes are patchouli and sandalwood.

• . Intense and sensual, it combines woody and musky tones. Suitable for women who are not afraid to attract attention. Spicy and tart notes are softened by the softness of the rose.

Classic women's floral perfumes and fragrances are the best choice at all times

Manufacturers annually release dozens of new compositions. But there are fragrances that continue to be in demand, even with a long history behind them. Their names are known even to people far from well-known brands.

• from Chanel. This is the first aldehyde perfume. They are not tied to any one component. The whole variety of notes is revealed only when interacting with the human body. Top notes are lemon, bergamot, orange blossom, ylang-ylang. Heart tones are formed from a combination of iris, lily of the valley, jasmine. The base is musky, woody, "green" smells, softened by vanilla tenderness.

• by Nina Ricci. Sweetish and intoxicating cloud. The tenderness of rose, violet, iris and jasmine is softened by spices, fruity, musky and woody notes.

• by Guerlain. An oriental perfume with botanical undertones. This spicy composition reveals itself gradually: it starts with sharp citrus notes, gradually adds a deep and sensual "sound" of iris, jasmine, vetiver, rose, leaving behind a woody-musky trail.

Rating of floral fragrances for women's perfumes from the point of view of a man

The smell acts directly on the subconscious. It can radically change the impression of a woman, and with it the nature of the relationship. For some, how a partner smells is more important than how they look. That is why a fancy train is one of the important ways to be remembered by a man. But not everything that pleases and seems pleasant to women causes a similar reaction in their strong halves.

Many men like musk, it enhances sexual desire. And cinnamon and vanilla create a feeling of comfort and help form attachment. Some people like sweet fruity flavors. Some prefer woody forest notes, others prefer the cool freshness of the sea.

Men like quality perfumes with natural scents. Perfume should be persistent, not cloying. It must be applied in moderation.

Thanks to the smell of grass, you feel the calming closeness of nature, even if you are in the heart of a metropolis. We can say that the herbal fragrance is one of the universal perfume components - it looks equally good in both men's and women's compositions. And most importantly - the smell of grass can be very different.

Remember how the aroma of freshly cut stems is unlike the breath of steppe grasses dried up by the sun, forest greens - to the bright spring shoots breaking through in city flower beds ... In the same way, you will not find two identical aromas with the smell of grass.

Variations of green perfumes

Spirits close to nature are really completely different. For example:

• In some, refreshing undertones of green tea are heard, soothing and meditative, cozy and invigorating.
• In others, there is a bamboo nuance reminiscent of Asian motifs.
• The third presents fragrant, spicy grassy melodies, evoking soaps about healers' recipes and the atmosphere of eastern cities.

If you like compositions with the smell of the forest after the rain and a sweet undertone of freshly cut greens, you can try something from the fougere family (we already talked about it in one of our recent articles).

Wet jungle after a stormy tropical rain. The wind broke the branches and crushed the leaves, and now everything around is filled with the smell of greenery. At the same time, there is a warm, sensual hint, similar to the natural smell of clean skin. In the foreground - the aroma of bamboo, clover, vetiver are well felt. Femininity is given by lily, gardenia, mimosa. Bergamot and lemon add freshness, patchouli - elegance. The composition is addressed to sincere and straightforward women. It is the result of the collaboration of three renowned perfumers:

1. Alberto Morillas
2. Jacques Cavalier
3. Thierry Wasser.

Aroma Calvin Klein

Very feminine perfume with the smell of grass. As soon as we feel their aroma, we find ourselves in an endless field where it is pleasant to find flowers in thick, tall grass: lilies of the valley, lilacs, violets, peonies, roses, tuberose, freesia, jasmine, geraniums ... Yes, of course, no real field will ever please you with such a luxurious bouquet. But thanks to the efforts of perfumers from Firmenich, all these subtle fragrances have come together to please the owner of the perfume and those who are near her. Therefore, the composition was decided to be called "Pleasures"

Aroma Estee Lauder

Transparent, delicate perfume with the scent of grass and leaves will suit those who are looking for a discreet, but pleasant everyday fragrance, full of light spring freshness. A recognizable feature is the pistachio nuance, which is present almost all the time of the sound. Author - Alberto Morillas.

Aroma

Interestingly, the inspiration for this composition was jade stone. The design deserves special mention: the bottle looks more like a piece of jewelry than a bottle of perfume. Such a gift will appeal to lovers of exquisite gizmos.

Unisex by Guerlain

Refreshing mint-herbal mix. Its name "Fresh Grass" says a lot about what image the perfumers wanted to embody in this composition. The leading part is played by mint, green tea and lemon. Lily of the valley brings spring freshness, while cyclamen and red berries bring variety.

Perfume Guerlain - Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca

Another herbal "allegory"

More feminine herbal perfumes from the line

Floral green perfume for self-confident women with a strong character. Somewhat aggressive notes of galbanum (green leaves, grass) coexist with oakmoss. The powdery smell of iris seems to “put on” the owner of this perfume in a strict but feminine business suit and high-heeled shoes. Hyacinth, lily of the valley, narcissus bring spring thoughts, and a leather nuance - a certain hardness.
