I was looking for my first true niche summer fragrance. At that time, Perseus had just been released. I also heard a lot about Sedley. So I went to the perfume store, but no Perseus, and no Sedley either. Then I sought advice. When I first tested Greenly, it immediately reminded me of my hikes in mountains and forests. I had to get it right away. The packaging was initially a bit disappointing, just a simple cardboard box, nothing more. However, this changed with the bottle. Very beautiful and high-quality, it fits nicely in my collection. I must note here that I prefer the opaque bottles from Parfum de Marly. When you remove the cap, it has a good weight and is pleasantly easy to remove and put back on. The sprayer is great, but for my taste, it disperses too broadly.
The color of the bottle reflects the scent very well: green, green, green. The opening reveals a very fresh and citrusy bergamot and green apple. This is already supported by a slightly green undertone. Hidden in this are the oak moss and woods. The strong citrus notes pull back a bit, and the green notes become more pronounced. The apple and bergamot continue to blend with the green notes. As time goes on, the apple and bergamot recede further. This causes the citrus to almost completely disappear. In the end, a slight freshness can still be detected, and the green and woody notes stand out.
This perfume truly impressed me due to its balance and its clear connection to nature for me. I wear this on occasions like hiking, walks, by the lake... This perfume is easy to wear and not intrusive. This means you can wear it at work if you want. However, I see it more for leisure in the summer. The longevity/sillage is average for a summer fragrance, so you can comfortably apply 8-10 sprays. For all nature lovers, this is an absolute recommendation, but definitely not a blind buy.
