Herbae

Herbae is a bright, refreshingly tart fruity-green scent that leans more toward a juicy, sweetly herbal composition than a dry, earthy green. It opens with sharp citruses and peppery green notes—bergamot and pink pepper—followed by a dominant blackberry and slightly vegetal tone that evokes rhubarb or a fresh cut bell pepper. The fragrance evolves into a soft, honeyed grass note that carries a delicate musk and wheat background, giving it a clean, slightly floral air. Though named for herbs and grasses, it’s consistently described as more fruity and sweet than herbal or green, with some calling it a 'sour sweet' or 'tart berry' scent. It performs best in spring and summer, lasting moderately and projecting moderately. Despite some criticism about its name misrepresenting the scent, many appreciate its subtle complexity, naturalistic feel, and affordability. It’s especially praised for its layering potential with pear- or citrus-based scents, and for being a more accessible green than heavy-duty niche fragrances like Diptyque's L'Orange or L'Origine.
