Tonic Vert

Tonic Vert by Thomas Kosmala is one of the best layered scents I have ever come across because I really do get a chance to smell all of the notes as the fragrances dries and changes on my skin. The opening is citrus-green and smells of limes and sparkling bergamot. As it dries I pick up on the pomelo, mint, and geranium. In the base I smell vetiver, oakmoss, mandarin orange, and a pleasant hint of a soft skin musk. I love green scents but I am very particular about the way the “green” scent presents itself. Nothing too grassy or bitter or flat, it has to have character and depth and Tonic Vert is giving me life! The vetiver is smooth, the oakmoss compliments everything, and the mint with the citrus notes blends with the floral-spicyness of the geranium. My sense of smell feels like it is being kissed! I love Tonic Vert, it so well done and the longevity is amazing!

I got this last spring or summer and love it, and have recommended it several times for the “uniqueness” and longevity (lasts all day on me). It really is a nice fragrance. The “problem” is that I just acquired Creed Aberdeen Lavender, which came out a few years prior. This is the closest 1:1 fragrance that isn’t from a clone house that I’ve come across in a while. I mean, it smells exactly the same to me. I can’t say it ruined the smell of this fragrance per-se since it smells so good, but it’s really a letdown that such a nice profile is in fact a mirror image of one that came out before. Now to decide if I want to keep the Creed, or this one. The Creed is basically full and is the OG, so even though I won’t get much for my partial of this I’m leaning towards keeping the Creed, mostly out of principle but also I’ll have more to use.

Very unique Vetiver/green fragrance. The lime really shines in this one. It softens but not quite to the point of barber shop. I love that there’s no patchouli. That, along with the bright citrus, makes this a great hot weather green cologne. I have other green colognes I like better, but none that are this perfect for high heat. Edit: I see the St Barts comparison. I see it a bit only because of the lime. So I layered St Barts over Vert (5-2) It tones down the more mature Vetiver barber shop dry down. Very high quality, rich smelling fragrance.

a beautiful refreshing citrus scent, it really puts a smile on my face, i love it. 9/10 i don't get much development, the opening is very lime-y.. after 30 min or so it settles and the aok-moss appears & makes it little bit smooth. sadly it performances poorly, doesn't last more than 2 hours on skin, same on clothes with very shy sillage.

I received a small sample of this with my latest fragrance haul for summer. Tried a small amount from the tiny tester, and immediately ordered a bottle. This stuff is as stated below: bracing, green, fresh, spicy, strong, etc. *Edit - someone commented this smells like a strong lemon cleaner which ruined this for me.
