The Vert

I already have more fragrances than I’ll ever need; but now that the weather has finally gotten warmer, after a long and gloomy winter, I’ve started to crave YR The Vert. It’s a beautiful creation by Francis Kurkdjian, similar to his own EA Green Tea, but with added citruses. So, we have a herbal infusion with lemon and orange, and some white musk, and basically that’s it. In terms of sillage and longevity, Black Afgano it ain’t: namely, as other reviewers have confirmed, it doesn’t have much staying power, which is typical of the entire Yves Rocher line except for the So Elixir collection. But it is meant to be used lavishly and topped up frequently, or to be applied during the scorching summer days to provide a quick refreshment.

One of my favorite tea scents, by mix master Francis Kurkdjian. Many people wear this only in warm weather but I’ve taken to spray The Vert in the evening, right before I go to bed. I love this versatile, light clean scent. I also wear this low projector to the gym. Lasts less than a hour but I don’t care. It’s in a price range that allows me to spray with abandon, and when the scent has dissipated, I can easily switch to something else. It does remind me of Jean Claude Elena’s The Vert by Bvlgari which I also own and love, but YRs version is zippier with more dominant, zesty lemons.

Well... I'm wearing this in the tropics. I thought it would be very fresh, but it's immediately a woody, musky and ozonic green on me. It's actually a bit heavy. I'd love to see how it is in colder weather. UPDATE: Temperatures have dropped under 30'C/86F and the perfume is now beautiful fresh, citrusy, light and airy. Really love it.

Amazing. Super fresh. Makes me feel relaxed. Super green. And nice pricing. If you love fresh green scents definitely give it a try. Underrated.

I really love this! So fresh, so clean. I get a lot of compliments when I'm wearing this perfume. :)
