green perfumes?
Permalink Closed

i've been thinking of an old fragrance thread that listed favorite boutique scents and had a link to luckyscent.com.  I was wondering if anyone could list some of their favorite or signature scents that are more "green" smelling- or natural at least- i get headaches from synthetic-y department store type scents.  Right now I really like L'ombre dans l'eau by diptyque but it fades so fast.  I also adore vetiver and notes that are kind of strange and earthy.  Any recs?  I have:


Kai perfume oil (too flowery- but it can be pretty)


stella (i like this, but i dunno, sick of it i guess)


rain oil (pretty good, but i dunno, i get sick of it)


Musc de java (berries and musk- i like this, but eh)


egyptian goddess oil (like $7 at hippie type stores- smells sooo good, but i cant find it at the moment)


Vetiver by l'artisan fragrances (bought vial on ebay- it doesn't exist anymore- so if someone has another vetiver fragrance they reccommend- i would love it- i've tried the elizabeth W version and like it, but it doesnt' smell like true vetiver)

I've tried it...the first time I tried it was hilarious becuase I really did smell like a stoner for about half an hour (it's the patchouli and the vetiver a bit too)! After that, it's very sweet on me though...all the strawberries and chocolate and vanilla musk comes out in full force.

jo malone encourages mixing or layering their scents which is fun!
