By the editors · 2 min readGreen Water announces itself with a bright citrus burst — bergamot, lemon, lime, and neroli overlapping petitgrain's slightly bitter, leafy edge. Basil threads through both top and heart, giving the opening a distinctly herbal sharpness that reads more kitchen garden than perfume counter.
Ginger and tarragon push the aromatic green quality further in the heart, with mint adding a cool, almost medicinal clarity. Jasmine and lily of the valley are present but subdued under that herbal weight. The base draws in oakmoss, vetiver, and amber, grounding everything in an earthy, slightly smoky drydown. The overall effect is cool, clean, and dry — a textbook fougère-adjacent aromatic green built around contrast between sharp citrus and damp earth.
