Oro Verde

Oro Verde opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bright bergamot and a distinct cannabis note weaves its way through the initial impression adding an unexpected and intriguing complexity. This green, herbal aroma brings a fresh, earthy quality. Without a doubt, people around you will question if someone nearby has lit up. I found this out in the elevator I was in shortly after wearing the first time out. The cannabis notes linger beautifully for at least two hours on my skin, creating a captivating contrast against the citrus and floral elements. It adds an edgy note, enhancing the overall character of the fragrance and inviting curiosity from those around you. In fact, hours into the dry down I would still catch pleasant wafts of cannabis throughout the evening. As the fragrance evolves, the delicate floral heart and juicy watermelon, softening the boldness of the cannabis and creating a harmonious blend that feels effortlessly balanced. In the dry-down, Oro Verde reveals its warm, earthy base, enriched with notes of amber and cedarwood, which further anchor the fragrance. Interestingly, the watermelon continued to add a refreshing, juicy twist to the composition, making the scent feel vibrant and dynamic even as it settles. Each time I wore Oro Verde, I received compliments about its unique character and inviting scent. It has quickly become one of my signature fragrances, embodying both elegance and vibrancy. The balance of notes feels thoughtfully curated, making each wear an enjoyable experience. In conclusion, Oro Verde by The House of Bo is a captivating fragrance that offers a delightful olfactory journey. Its blend of citrus, cannabis, florals, and a refreshing hint of watermelon creates a versatile scent that can be worn across different seasons and occasions. If you’re seeking a fragrance that exudes sophistication while remaining approachable, Oro Verde is a worthy addition to your collection.

From the moment I spritzed it on, Oro Verde burst open with bright, citrusy notes reminiscent of dry cannabis leaves! But don’t fret—the cannabis quickly takes a backseat as the heart of the fragrance unveils itself with a mouthwatering fusion of juicy watermelon and citrus and fresh herbs. It’s like a sensory party on my skin! The cannabis subtly lingers, beautifully blending with the watermelon and basil, creating a unique, green freshness that’s simply intoxicating. I found myself thinking of eating a fresh Caprese salad with a twist—imagine replacing the tomato with succulent watermelon, on my patio with the smell of Denver (Marijuana is legal here) in the background. After about an hour I began to pick up on the dry down that elegantly transitioned into warm amber and rich wood notes. Oro Verde has excellent longevity and projection off of my skin. After eight full hours of wear, I had to shower to take it off. Upon the initial spry, it projected very well, two to three feet, and only came down to about one foot at around the five-hour mark. It stayed there until I showered around eight hours after application. And let’s talk about the packaging—each bottle is a work of art! Hand-sculpted by local Mexican artisans from natural stone, every cap reflects the unique color profile of the fragrance within. Oro Verde has cemented itself on my must-have list! If you’re intrigued and want to experience this aromatic delight yourself, you can find it at Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. I highly recommend sampling this beauty before committing, as the prices are $365 for the 75 ml bottle and $175 for the 40 ml. Just a heads-up; you won’t find Oro Verde at discount stores.

This is so fresh and beautiful. It does smell like someone just lit up, then tried to mask it with cologne, but I mean that in the best possible way. I’ve never smoked weed, but growing up in Colorado and living in California, the scent is practically atmospheric. It’s nostalgic. Comforting. Familiar in a way I didn’t know I missed. Performance is solid. Versatility is surprisingly high. Just maybe skip it for daycare pickup or a buttoned-up office setting, unless you don't mind the the side-eyes. What makes this scent beautiful is how smooth and refined it is. The bergamot, watermelon, and palo santo complement the cannabis note and elevate it. It’s a masterclass in balance. Agree with liliazeib below with the type of person who'd wear this. I imagine this is the scent of someone who lives on the westside of LA or Miami. They hit the gym in the morning, then lunch with friends. They’re well-off, minimalist, free-spirited, and at peace. They own their own business, and have mastered the balance of being social and introspective. A dreamer with discipline. And this scent fits them like linen in summer.

I was hesitant to sample this because of all the reviews mentioning the cannabis note. I expected that “skunky” smell we all remember from college, but this is NOT that at all. It’s more of a fresh, herbal bud. Green, aromatic, and addictive. Only be afraid if you don’t want to be a total s*x magnet. Being 100% honest... this scent made me blush (if you know what I mean) smelling it on paper. It’s the perfect green, earthy fragrance for spring or summer. Definitely unisex, though I personally prefer it on my man, it leans just masculine enough to drive me crazy. Whatever’s in this, I need a full bottle for my husband ASAP! Puro s*xo líquido: oro verde!!

God where to start with this scent. It's so addictive, fresh, not so strong on the cannabis (trust somebody on this who lives in the Netherlands) :). It's so nice and I don't love unisex scents but this just really wrapped me up in a cocoon of addictive notes that I really enjoy (day or night) mostly I'd say in the warmer weather (spring/summer/fall). Definitely not a blind buy! I got a discovery set with Casa Blanca (also nice but nothing special to my nose) and Bonbon (same as CB) but this just really captured my heart! Highly recommend trying it if you like fresh, green scents!
