Harry Potter and the Russian version of a Philosopher‘s Stone
One day, in order to prevent Lord Voldemort from becoming immortal, Albus Dumbledore and his honorable friend, non other than alchemist Nicholas Flamel, decided to destroy the Philosopher's Stone once and for all.
Hah! That’s what YOU thought.
We all know that Albus Dumbledore never fully told anyone about his plans. Albus Dumbledore with an ace up his sleeve, one who doesn’t care whether one’s dead or alive. Still, he wants to tell us he wants nothing more than a pair of knitted socks while he keeps dirty secrets (which aren’t socks by the way).
This is one of them.
The Philosopher's Stone, which confers immortality, was disguised by Albus Dumbledore. Disguised so that Voldemort would never find it.
Disguised as a green malachite, so that after a week I can smell this scent on my scarf. I wore this scarf every day - on trips that went much farther than nearby Hogsmeade - and gave it a single spray of this green stone, right now admittedly to the chagrin of my nose.
Where’s the problem in that: I don't wear the stone every day, and have now been walking around the world with two different scents on me for a few days.
Wingardium Leviosa didn’t work, the scent wouldn’t go away.
I wonder if I should go to Professor Flitwick and ask him for an effective spell. Or could herbalism help? Madame Sprout doesn't like me too much, and the feeling is mutual. The pungent smell of flowers is just not my favorite one.
But this stone...
This stone is light and dark at the same time, mysterious yet seductive.
I’m standing in front of the cauldron... and I throw a lot of lily into it. Lily like Lily Potter.
A flash of inspiration! Maybe Dumbledore developed this stone to hypnotize Snape, or to make him compliant if he needs to be. This could work. Before the mixture of lilies becomes a stone, add a pinch of other green stuff and some orange for color. Fizzles out into vapor.
What remains is... with a hint of vanilla dancing in the background…
The green stone.
The stone of infinity.
Bliiiiin*, I would not have expected that and haven't found an antidote yet.
Perhaps I'll visit the Thinkarium again soon and see if Dumbledore has provided me with an antidote thiiiis way.

The scent is supposed to be a tribute to Russia. Well... my experience is: Russia doesn’t smell like that. It didn’t smell like that all the times I was there - although there’s still hope that one day… people will wave with flowers instead of… you know.
Russian women would or will love this fragrance for sure. Opulent, floral, elegant and of an INFINITE, ever lasting charisma.
I'm not really a floral type who loves to smell like soup made of 1000 or a million flowers. But this one got me enchanted.
Longevity: 13 out of 9 3/4 - at least on clothes.
Sillage: 11,11 out of 10
Flacon //okay, I don't like the top, but I love angularity and simplicity//: 9 3/4 out of 10.

Enemies of the heir, beware!
If you don't like flowers, a radius of =< two meters from this stone is your personal chamber of secrets. No escape.
Is it Amortentia's work or am I still in control of myself? I don't like to judge it. So: keep your noses open, this one will not pass you by without a trace.
------------------

*Note: Blin - Russian for "pancake", can also be used as a swear word and is then a friendlier version of "damn".

white floral eleganza
vert malachite is the epitome of the phrase: "OPULENCE. YOU OWN EVERYTHING! Everything is yours!"

the white florals along with the combination of the other notes in vert malachite are feminine, strong yet still have a wonderful elegance to them. i can see this being the perfect luxurious wedding day or special occasion perfume. however, on my skin, the floral notes become REALLY heady, where i'm stuck in an ultra thick cloud that my sensitive self can't escape from.

i think i'd like this better if the florals were toned down a bit and the creamy vanilla was amped a little. still, vert malachite is a beautiful and classy fragrance, so, if opulent and bold white florals are your thing, you may love this one.

Love at first sniff!
I already had Rouge Malachite which I love, but this was also an instant love! I had to add it to my collection immediately!

I didn’t expect to like Armani Privé - Vert Malachite due to the Petitgrain note, which can come off really sharp, but I don’t actually smell it in this one. I also hate orange notes, but it’s done so well here that I can’t detect it. There is a brightness and happy vibe to this though, likely due to the citrus's. This is weaker than Armani Privé - Rouge Malachite although I feel this one needs the heat to really shine. It’s interesting how some people get pure jasmine. I don’t at all. I get an absolutely beautiful mix of creamy and comforting, white and yellow florals. I can actually smell the lily in this more than I can the jasmine or ylang-ylang. She’s a stunner just like her sister. I’d say Armani Privé - Rouge Malachite is the spicy, sexy one for cool weather. Armani Privé - Vert Malachite is the comforting, happy one for warm or hot seasons.

I do wish it wasn’t so expensive! I’ve had to put another favourite up for sale to justify buying this one, but I’m so pleased to have it in my collection.

Heady, sexy, opulent
This is potent, opulent, heavy jasmine sambac. It's sweet and indolic to the point I was surprised I didn't see tuberose listed as a note. There's the faintest hint of something animalic, flirty and dirty. I am not an animalic fan but this is so faint it gives the scent a bit of intrigue. Overall, Vert Malachite really well done take on jasmine's naughtier facets.

Beautiful and rich, this is a sexy scent to me. One that demands to be worn by a confident woman. She's just out of the shower and spritzes this on while readying for a date. This is a scent that needs a little black dress and strappy slinky heels, gold and diamond accessories.

Excellent longevity and performance. Truly one that does not need more than a single spray, otherwise Vert Malachite can quickly overwhelm and wear you. With a light hand though, this is just incredible. It could be worn year round easily, but I don't think this is office safe, definitely a nighttime jasmine in my opinion. Controversially, I much prefer Vert Malachite to Rouge Malachite.

Nicely balanced
I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of yellow florals so my review is heavily biased.

However, I give this fragrance credit for its ability to balance the citrus elements with the vanilla and florals.

Just when you think it's becoming too floral, the vanilla comes in and brings it back to a pleasant level. And when it starts to get too sweet, the spicy and citrus elements kick in to keep it nicely balanced.

The performance is great and it lasts the entire day. If you're a fan of yellow florals, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try.

I hate almost every note in this and yet, it is gorgeous. Sweet, creamy, beautiful - I wish I could be the woman this is made for.

Jasmine, and more jasmine but nothing more. I expected more uniqueness from a house like Armani. This one, unfortunately, is a pass.
