Orto ParisiViride

Description Viride is a bitter green herbal scent: wormwood and artemisia over fir and juniper, like crushed stems in a mountain meadow. Released in 2014 in Orto Parisi's first collection and composed by Alessandro Gualtieri , its name is Latin for green, and the house ties it to the lushness of summer meadows. The opening is wormwood, artemisia and lavender, sharp and aromatic, with a touch of jasmine in the heart. The base turns resinous and dry with fir, juniper, cedar, a little tobacco and musk. It is an aromatic green fragrance with nothing sweet to hide behind, which is exactly why its fans love it. Scent Character Woody : 39% Fresh : 22% Floral : 22% Smoky & Boozy : 11% Sweet : 6% Translation: woods and conifers lead, the herbs supply the freshness, jasmine the floral share, and the smoky thread is the tobacco in the base.

Sillage: Moderate to strong in the herbal opening. Projection: Noticeable at arm's length early on, then it narrows to a dry, woody skin scent.
