Why We Carry This

Green tea in fine fragrance is difficult to execute without a synthetic quality that undermines the composition's credibility, and Golden Green avoids that problem. The iris-vetiver heart and base give the fresh opening material depth, and the unisex balance is genuinely achieved rather than claimed. The Xerjoff material quality is consistent throughout.

Character

Accords: Green, Woody, Fresh, Aromatic, Citrus, Floral

Launched: 2014

Green tea opens Golden Green with a freshness that is botanical rather than synthetic, bergamot providing the citrus clarity that positions the green accord precisely. Iris in the heart adds a powdery, slightly earthy note that shifts the composition from fresh to refined, rose giving the iris warmth and a floral register that prevents the composition from reading as too cool or clinical. Vetiver and cedarwood in the base bring a dry, woody depth, the sandalwood-amber drydown providing the warmth that makes this wearable across seasons rather than only in warm weather.
