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. Also these are the official notes from Ex Nihilo please update! Top: Galbanum Angelica Root Green Mandarin Heart: Sambac Jasmine Absolute Iris Absolute Rosyfolia Base: Vetiver Patchouli Powdery accord

One of my favorite notes is here, upfront and it never dissipates: angelica.....oh ....I love it. I also pick up mandarin, but It burns out quickly which is what I expect from a citrus accord. In the middle the florals come out: rose and either jasmine or iris. A high quality vetiver plays throughout the base. I can't pick up the patch (other sites list this note) but it might be the note that makes the base stick. This is a laundry-fresh scent, it has some power behind it. VP projects softly during the first hour. Enthusiastic yes from me.

I have a large collection of niche (about 100 bottles) and this is my favorite green scent. I get whiffs of it all day long, and am complimented on it which means there is a good sillage. It is a gorgeous, crisp summer floral that matches the name and juice color. I don’t agree at all with the folks who say it is “generic”, “weak”, “boring”. For me, it’s exactly what it purports to be. And for those who say it doesn’t last, I think they’ve gone anosmic to it, or simply aren’t spraying enough.

The first perfume from this house that I have really liked. A unique green floral musk, this is an extremely pretty scent. It opens with a citrusy notes, proceeds to a firmly green heart of galbanum and grassy notes and settles on a base of vetiver and synthetic musk. Unisex with moderate to strong projection and excellent longevity. Suited for warm weather and refreshing without being cloying. Enjoy!

This perfume is to die for! If you are a lover of Green Irish Tweed on men and are looking for a feminine comparison, go no further than this beauty. Some of my favourite notes in perfume are iris, Angelica, and Vetiver. Lucky for me, this perfume has all of those!! (Although fragrantica hasn’t included all of the notes yet). If you like fresh/herbal/earthy smells, give this a try!!

Whenthesunhits summed it up perfectly. This Viper doesn't bite, and I am delighted. Green? Yes. On the soft side? Definitely. Would I spend this month's grocery money on a full bottle? I'd sell my soul if I needed to.

wow, this is devine! I have nothing to add to the first reviews here but that this perfume, even if the notes differ, reminds me strongly of En Passant Frederic Malle

It's cold and green at first—ideal for summer. If you want that flower shop vibe (gives me pure carnation freshness) this is it.

A sweet green scent. Very clean and uplifting.

I love viper green, love ex nihilo

Viper Green is brilliantly named! The overall impression of this perfume is very much like the glorious snake itself; deceptively cool and soft, slithering between green and earth. Opening looks fresh, green, citric, and unisex. But just like the viper, I got too close and it showed me its teeth. There appeared a heart of sharp galbanum, backed by a powdery note that balanced it as an element of silkiness in the background. The composition feels high quality, well-blended, and unique. The sillage was at an arm’s length and, despite the effervescent notes, never cloying or obtrusive. But I stayed with this snake for too long and, of course, it finally bit me! The vetiver and other earthy notes ambushed the delicate green phase and finished me off. As a lover of feminine-leaning notes, I could not see myself wearing it. I do, however, recommend it for lovers of aromatic unisex/masculine perfumes. This is a green masterpiece!

Viper Green evoked vivid associations with the green and aquatic fragrances of the 1990s and early 2000s. It reminded me of Balenciaga Talisman Transparente and the Kenzo Les Eaux De Fleur series (especially the variants with Tea, Yuzu, and Magnolia). It’s the freshness of a floral bouquet on a noble green base, and it has excellent longevity — both the top notes and the base notes linger pleasantly for a long time. The fragrance feels more luxurious than niche (though, for me, Fleur Narcotique and Lust in Paradise aren’t niche either — and that’s a good thing. Well‐crafted luxury scents are not easy to come by). For me, this is a nostalgic fragrance, yet reinterpreted in a modern way. Overall, Ex Nihilo has many interesting compositions, and Viper Green is definitely one to try for fans of green, fresh scents.

All of you people expecting a kick-ass green fragrance a la Vent Vert, Eau de Lierre or Corsica Furiosa: don’t hold your breath.....Viper Green does not live up to its name. It is not very green and most certainly not venomous and turns out to be a very pretty, girly jasmine soliflore with some green and citrus notes around its edges. The result, I must admit, is gorgeous, if jasmine's your thing. I agree it is overpriced. There are some great jasmine soliflores out there that are just as good and cost much, much less (Drama Nuui and Madagascan Jasmine f.i.) and as for green you should definately look elsewhere.

*holding up bullhorn* THIS SMELLS EXACTLY LIKE GALE HAYMAN DELICIOUS. It's a flowery gourmand, with a lovely sweetsoft musk on the dry down and fantastic sillage. When I sprayed it, I screamed and giggled it was so uncanny, since I miss my mom, and it's her signature fragrance. To verify, I had my friends and family do a blind sniff test. It's 100% a dupe. If you love this, go to eBay and snag a bottle of the original Delicious. EXACT same scent - no weird synthetic anything - and only $12, tops. It's the definition of cheap + chic!

I was a bit sad, with Viper in the name, I expected more bite. I like it, but I wanted more green. The lily of the valley is quite prominent. I recently got interested in green fragrances after buying Chypre Mousse and Green Spell. Viper Green is 75% floral and 25% green. High quality, going to appeal to lots of people.

This is like sticking your nose into luscious grass, freshly cut and wet. But behind it is this intoxicating pull and you keep smelling it. I just don’t know when I would ever wear this, other than for aromatherapy. Definitely unisex.
