Viper Green
by Ex Nihilo
Viper Green is a refined, soft green floral that opens with a bright citric mandarin and galbanum, delivering a fresh, herbal, and slightly powdery impression. It evolves into a velvety, floral heart dominated by jasmine, rosyfolia, and subtle rose, with vetiver grounding the drydown in a clean, earthy-sweet tone. The fragrance strikes a balance between green and floral; while it features compelling botanical notes, it lacks the bold, biting, or dangerous character suggested by its name. Instead, it feels more like a polished, aromatic laundry-scented greenery—fresh and subtle rather than intense. The scent is unisex in appeal, with notable exudation of jasmine and lily of the valley, and holds an unusual level of sweetness for a green fragrance, making it particularly feminine to many. It projects moderately, wears well throughout the day, and features moderate longevity.
Pros
- +Delivers a clean, fresh, and well-blended green floral character that suits spring and summer seasons.
- +It has a balanced and elegant development, making it wearable and pleasant for those who enjoy floral-green accords.
- +The scent is a subtle, refined alternative to aggressive green fragrances, appealing to those seeking something soft and wearable.
Cons
- −Falls short of delivering a venomous or aggressive green character despite the name 'Viper'; the bite is muted and leaves many disappointed.
- −The floral and powdery elements are prominent enough to make the scent feel more feminine than unisex, reducing its appeal for those seeking masculine, bold green scents.
- −Some users detect synthetic or plastic-like notes in the drydown, diminishing the authenticity for those wanting natural green realism.
