The Three Greats - Emerald
Green gemstones have always had a special allure. And they are not as rare as one might think. There are green garnets (demantoid, tsavorite) as well as green sapphires, the golden-green sphene, the olive-green moldavite, the water-green amethyst, the spring-green peridot, the bottle-green tourmaline, the dark green diopside, and even the green diamond, and of course the most expensive and well-known of all green gemstones, the emerald.
The emerald is the sister stone of aquamarine, thus a beryl, but unlike the absolutely clear aquamarine, it has distinct inclusions that enhance the stone and are referred to as "Jardin".
The green of the emerald is absolutely unique, and there is a specific color designation "emerald green" on color palettes. A bright, radiant, yet rich, clear green without yellowish undertones.
Due to their natural inclusions, emeralds - unlike rubies and sapphires - are extremely difficult to artificially produce. They only occur in specific locations and are among the most expensive gemstones overall.
Thus, the attempt to create a fragrance that does justice to this gemstone is all the more challenging. Yet Ramón Béjar has succeeded in this as well. I suspect that the new edition of the three fragrances Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald has undergone a reformulation, as the pyramid is smaller and the scents seem more transparent.
The current pyramid for Emerald is as follows:
Top: Petals, hyacinth, rose
Heart: Magnolia, white hibiscus
Base: Musk, white amber
Emerald is like a soft, mossy, light green, illuminated by the sun and sprinkled with sweetly and delicately scented petals. For me, it is clearly the most feminine of the three "Greats" fragrances, which, unlike Rainbow Gems, Amethyst, Aquamarine, and Garnet, have already been released in an earlier edition.
Emerald also does not have a real progression; the soft, gentle floral notes are present from the very beginning and remain until the scent fades, which envelops me tenderly for almost eight hours.
Emerald is the last of my Cuarzo the Circle test series by Béjar, and a truly crowning conclusion. The fragrances in this series are so multifaceted and rich in character that every perfume lover can find THEIR scent among them. Unfortunately, they are quite expensive, but in most cases, the price corresponds to the quality (except for my outlier Aquamarine).
My conclusion about the fragrances: they certainly match the quality of perfume houses like Guerlain, XerJoff, MDCI, and similar ones, where precious essences and fragrance quality, presented in equally valuable bottles, are still highly valued.
Now I am all the more excited about Ramón Béjar's new fragrance line RB!
