Surinam Vert Pictura Fragrans 2024

I absolutely love this perfume. To me it opens with the smell of a Hugo cocktail, fresh, slightly sweet, fizzy, just perfect for a hot summer day. Upon dry down, it turns into a fresh green grass, with hints of petrichor, and a bit of depth (which I am guessing might be the earthy notes in it). The persistence is rather good as well, and while it turns into more of a skin scent, I can still smell it just as fresh even hours after spraying it. All in all, I can only recommend this.

This fragrance is what I was looking for in terms of tropical scent! It is absolutely evocative of a rainforest! Full disclaimer: I've never actually been in a real rainforest but this scent aligns with my imagination :D Unripe passion fruit, juicy guava, and fresh coconut water in the opening, with strong petrichor, soil, and moss in the dry-down. One of the best petrichor notes I've tested, without any of cucumber-iness! This scent is the saturated moist tropical forest air, with rain dropping on the leaves. I love it! Zero sweetness, and zero "piña colada situation" that most tropical scents have going on. Also, the floral notes are so well-blended to support the fruit and the green notes, it's wonderful! I normally cannot stand frangipani, it can easily overtake the whole fragrance, but not here.

I'm always a bit scared when it's about green fragrances. I'm typing this out while I'm still wearing, so it's gonna be a study during it's evolution.
The opening is amazing, passion fruit and coconut water blend just great together, without giving it the standard "oh so oriental" scent. It feels natural, and the green notes feel like leaves, heavy leaves in a jungle. I can feel the petrichor too, now, and the mix of flowers is well balanced with the soil and the forest accord, so it doesn't smell too floreal but... vivid. Extremely vivid. I'm going deep into that jungle. Rainforest at its best, very different from the other "forest" scents I've tried. Bravo! Now I want to try more from the brand!

Blast of passion fruit and green notes. I get a little bit of gasoline but it all works perfectly. I don’t like guava but DL managed to make it work! Smells like you’re walking through a forest with a bunch of exotic fruits hanging off the trees. Leans kinda linear & unique but not offensive. I own a full bottle and I would probably rebuy.
