Living in the hustle and bustle of Dubai, it’s only normal that we crave the beauty of nature. You can’t always get away from the concrete jungle, but you can immerse yourself in the scents of nature to evoke its serene beauty. As clean scents become popular, so have green scents for their freshness and ability to calm the mind and relax the body.

With the crisp morning breeze in the woods comes a rather disappointing news: this fragrance is discontinued. It’s no longer available on the official website, making the bottles already in the market all the more precious. Eau de Lierre is a purely green fragrance. Ivy’s cool green facet combines wonderfully with the rosy, aromatic green geranium. It’s a watery, fresh, green fragrance in a unique linear formula.

It’s not every day that you see an olive wood note. How disappointing because this note is rather beautiful in Versace Versense. It’s a savoury woody green fantasy note. Combined with cedar and sandalwood at the base and citruses at the top, it brings you the experience of walking through a garden. It’s refreshing, spicy, and perfect for everyday wear in the summer.
For Him:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Creed |
| Best for | Men |
| Fragrance Family | Woody Floral Musk |
| Notes | Top: Iris, Vervain Middle: Violet Leaf Base: Ambergris and Sandalwood |
| Release year | 1985 |
| Longevity | 3-5 hours |
| Projection | Low |
| Perfumer | Olivier Creed and Pierre Bourdon |
There are plenty of aquatic men’s perfumes with green undertones, made boring by overuse. Creed takes that and turns it into an interesting, dark, rugged, and mature fragrance in Green Irish Tweed. There’s a very natural green accord from the violet leaf in the heart, a dry and piercing kind of green. Vervain brings an herbaceous, bitter earthiness. Iris softens it, makes it powdery and blends seamlessly with the barely there light and creamy sandalwood at the base.
2. Guerlain Vetiver EDT
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Guerlain |
| Best for | Men |
| Fragrance Family | Woody Aromatic |
| Notes | Top: Bergamot, Tobacco, Lemon, Nutmeg, Neroli, Coriander, Mandarin Orange Middle: Vetiver, Pepper, Carnation, Sage, Sandalwood, Orris Root Base: Vetiver, Oakmoss, Leather, Myrrh, Civet, Tonka Bean, Amber |
| Release year | 1961 (re-released in 2000) |
| Longevity | 6-7 hours |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Jean-Paul Guerlain |
A classic masculine fragrance made during a classic era of perfumery, Guerlain Vetiver uses its classic blend of vetiver, tonka bean, nutmeg, and tobacco to impress. It’s a well-balanced concoction of woody, spicy, aromatic notes with a surprising hint of sweetness. It exudes composed and mature masculinity, right for men who have seen the world and learned its lessons.
For Them:
1. Dior Sakura EDP
Green notes introduce us to Dior’s Sakura, bright and exciting. It’s a different green accord than what most people are used to, giving it a distinct scent. The florals are prominent yet soft, blending with the green accord in a way that feels like a natural flower garden. The cherry blossom is airy and delicate, blending well with the musky base. It’s easy to reach for on the days you want something nice and quiet.

|---|---|
