Vert et Noir (green and black)

Description

A spin on the traditional ‘eau de cologne vetiver style’ inspired by my son’s mini green and black basketball.  (Really).
At once it looks like a sport accessory and an intriguing citrus fruit… I was immediately struck by how much it seemed like a perfume.  So bright and fresh; so beautifully designed.  Unisex but slightly masculine.  Altogether summery.

And so it is.

Vert et Noir is the third in the “Summer Eau Fraiche” series for 2016, continuing the theme of using vegetable notes in the design, there are lettuce, celery, cucumber, and melon notes combined with lively citrus which shifts into a lovely ozonic, grassy vetiver drydown mixed with subtle woods and a slightly salty musk.  Black pepper, and reglisse noire hook into the vetiver to create the ‘black’ contrast to all that crisp, brilliant green.
