this is ALMOST the greenest perfume i've ever tested (Bond Street 1972 cannot be beat. it is insane). it is sharp, crushed flower stems to the brain. i used to work at whole foods in the produce department, and i would sometimes have to cut the ends of the flower stems off. i'd store them in a cup and smell them. THIS is that smell (with an added hint of pepper and something... weird). if i could taste this, it would be intensely sour and vegetal. it kind of reminds me of Etat Libre D'Orange scents, but way more intense. it eventually dries down into something a bit more floral and palatable, but damn, it starts off strong. if i didn't own Bond Street 1972 i would immediately buy the full bottle of this, as i love an intense, bitter, spicy green scent. very aptly named. it is the smell equivalent of pricking your finger on a rose thorn.
