Green A Perfume Organic for women and men

...and soemthing else to remember about the "A Perfume Organic" fragrance line: These are genuine parfum extraits. Blends of oils and essences that melt on the skin and require little in the way of packaging and application. A little goes a long way and a lot is accomplished with that little!

Green. When I think of green, I see primeval forests, Alice running after The White Rabbit, dampness and freshness and seasons ripening into lush expressions of the bounty of nature; boughs and branches and fields overflowing with growth. As a child, "green" meant wonder, vibrancy, mystery and freedom. It meant running through fields, breaking grass against hands as bouquets of wildflowers were picked; it meant smelling the bitter sweetness of cut lawns against dirt and realizing that the true beauty of Earth was reflected in the contradictions of nature, about depth and sheerness, layers of scent and texture, fullness and contrasts. It meant watching insects crawl along moss on drizzly days and watching vines curl in the sun, toward the sky.

As an adult, "green" has kept its essence, but taken on the mantle of wisdom. "Green" is a meditative color, a reminder of the connections and promises made during childhood, the pact of respect between human and environment and the genuine love for nature we remembered as children. Often, dreams and life become "synthetic" as we grow-up; we design life as we think it should be, we plan for and organize things according to our design. We sometimes forget the overwhelming emotion nature could rouse in us as children, the genuine excitement and appreciation for danger that goes along with being constantly aware of your smallness, your weakness, your vulnerability in the face of something great and powerful. In the woods, the smells of life and death and re-growth intermingle. There's sweetness, tartness and crunchy vegetal essences, there's the smell of moisture incubating life. We remember the richness of smells from our childhood, but sometimes, as adults, we aim to sanitize and re-work smells to reflect an ideal that's sometimes lacking in fullness and richness. It's a card-board cut-out of something, an imitation of Nature that lacks the nuances that stimulate our senses to appreciate the multiple layers found in it, unexpected combinations that shatter concepts of "pleasant", but result in something infinitely more beautiful and meaningful.

"Green", by A Perfume Organic, perfectly captures "green" as it should be; with fullness and sweetness, depth and texture. There's the velvety-musky fullness of low-growth greens, the earthy rising moisture of pine needles and forest soil cushioning beneath the feet, a lemony-balmy sweetness expressed by the chamomile and angelica, a hazy, mystical calm also embodied by the cool, almost wintery sheerness of blue chamomile (also adding a hint of childhood nostalgia with a nod to the scent of many children's products). "Green" has all the earthiness of typical head-shop oils but without the grunge; this is genuine perfume artistry, with crunchy, bitter greens tempered by the candied-clove sweetness of ylang and freshened with the tweedy woodiness of grasses and wildflowers. "Green" is a sweet, wet, intoxicating interpretation of nature after a rainfall--of grass, pines, oaks, dead leaves, minerally-rocks and forest flowers soaked in rain, conjuring up images of wood nymphs and medieval mistresses abandoning their courts to hide in the woods, the hems of their heavy, velvet robes, soaked by mud and torn by briars. It's a lovely, meditative and whimsical blend and a "natural"/organic fragrance line that marks the point of evolved "hippie-perfume"; carrying-on the legacy of 60's flower children with an air of modern sophistication. And with not one bit of pretentiousness or artiface. Well done, "A Perfume Organic". I look forward to what other mysteries you have locked within your little glass bottle of magic. (And the packaging is beautiful--brilliant, plantable boxes embedded with seeds and stamped with lettering and images that could've been lifted straight from the original "Alice in Wonderland" or a Tasha Tudor storybook--and well-designed to be eco-efficient.)

Green perfumes (I mean the color, but I don't mind if it's green in all meanings) are my choice for this Spring!

Green by A Perfume Organic is woody floral green, I feel a lot of ylang-ylang in it, pleasant dirty nuances of mushroom and rose! The rose is not so evident, but I feel her with time...
The fragrance is cozy, the color of the juice is wonderfully green, and the bottle is cute and easy to apply.
