The Vert

The Vert from Roger & Gallet is a bright citrus fragrance first, with a dry woody frame and a green tea thread running through. It is presented as a feminine scent.

Grapefruit, yuzu and mandarin give it a lively, sparkling opening: grapefruit bitter and fresh, yuzu sharp and aromatic, mandarin softer and sweeter. Tea then comes forward, giving a light, leafy and slightly bitter green character that feels calm and clean, true to the name. The base rests on cedar, including Virginia cedar, which brings a dry, pencil-shaving woodiness and keeps the composition crisp rather than sweet.

The whole effect is refreshing and understated, in the style of a classic cologne. It suits spring and summer, warm mornings, daytime wear and moments when a light, clean scent is wanted, such as after a shower or at the office. It should appeal to people who enjoy citrus and green tea fragrances and prefer freshness over sweetness or heavy florals.
