By the editors · 2 min readViper Green opens with the piercing, sappy bite of galbanum — that particular green note that splits straight down the middle between bruised stems and fresh resin. It's assertive from the first spray, carrying the raw edge of freshly cut foliage rather than anything meadow-soft. In the heart, galbanum holds its ground, only slightly softening as it settles, refusing the synthetic smoothness of many modern greens.
The dry-down brings in earthy vetiver, anchoring the composition with roots-and-soil depth. The combination is spare and precise — a stark, unsentimental fragrance for those who want their green without florals or sweetness diluting the edge.
