Viper Green

Don ́t go looking for snakes You might find them /Metallica - Slither/ I must agree there are some aspects really similar to Creed Green Irish Tweed. But there ́s one substantial difference - Green Irish Tweed seems to be natural & inspired by nature, Viper Green is like a polished piece of green glass, bright & clear - or maybe like a slightly poisonous potion. It opens with fresh & sour green mandarin juice that slowly turns into sweetly herbal angelica extract with seductive jasmine accent - and this is the beating heart of this scent /and I like it A LOT/. The drydown is dusty & sweetly resinous. Viper Green is undeniably wild & seductive scent - I ́m afraid it ́s going to be number one on my short wish list. Viper Green notes according to official Ex Nihilo website: TOP: galbanum, angelica root, green mandarin HEART: sambac jasmine absolute, iris absolute, rosyfolia BASE: vetiver from Haiti, patchouli from Indonesia, powdery accord NOSE: Nadege Le Garlantezec

@Scentual has posted the full notes breakdown from Ex Nihilo's website down below, there's a lot more to Viper Green than Fragrantica has bothered to add to the database! this is gorgeous and i am a complete fan. there's a beautiful, fresh, green citric opening above a whole field of ripe, sparkling florals. it's heavy and narcotic to me, and there's a hint of a smell of starchy, 'sunkissed' (aka slightly sunburnt) skin in there; this may sound offputting but it really fits the rest of the fragrance well. underneath the vetiver and patchouli keep it green and uplifting throughout the entire wear - and it lasts for a long time with pretty strong projection too! to me, this smells like an open field of flowers on a hot summer's day. high summer, no worries. it smells like all the beautiful parts of the british countryside and makes me feel at home, and happy. 9/10

I've found that with testing fragrances, first impressions can count for a lot. I first encountered Viper Green at a niche fragrance store in Lisbon. It was early spring, and the orange blossoms were filling the streets with their sweet aroma. Viper Green felt like an extension of this. With the most beautiful, evocative, fresh green openings of any fragrance I've tested, it was a yes for me before the alcohol had time to evaporate. Despite it's weaker-than-average longevity and intimate silage, I bought a bottle. I'm now pairing it with Guerlain's Mandarine Basilic Forte which provides a stable base for this vivid green, yet underperforming perfume.

This is P E R F E C T ✨ I agree with the comparison to Chanel n19 Poudre but it’s only a shared “likeness” due to the galbanum. This is its own creation and soooo lovely. Crisp and clean but subdued/airy, natural but refined. My ideal scent profile. It’s slightly vegetal but in the most austere presentation. A freshly cut stem in ice cold water with powdery blossoms dusting the counter as you shift the stems of a floral arrangement. I have yet to thoroughly test the longevity but get the sense this is a 4-6 hour lifespan, maybe longer when sprayed onto clothes or layered.

Viper Green is a gorgeous green floral scent without being too green or too floral which makes it a centered perfect balance just like the way the colour green is the balance or middle of the rainbow. I would wear Viper Green during spring time as it is just perfect for spring coming into bloom. Definitely try this on skin and wait for the dry down.
