Selva do Brazil

Selva do Brazil by Parfums Berdoues is sweet, green and woody in equal measure, built on just three notes. Jennifer Riley composed it, it was released in 2015, and it is worn by anyone.

Petitgrain from Paraguay opens it with a fresh, leafy and slightly bitter citrus-green brightness, like crushed orange leaves. In the heart, tonka bean brings a warm, sweet, vanilla-and-almond softness with a hint of hay. The base is built on guaiac wood, which gives a smooth, slightly smoky, resinous woodiness. Together they evoke the lush, green forest of the name, which means Brazilian jungle.

With its simple, clear composition, it is easy to understand and easy to wear. The green petitgrain keeps it fresh enough for spring and summer days, while the tonka and guaiac give it a warm, cosy depth for autumn. Anyone who likes green, woody scents with a soft, sweet warmth, and who prefers clean simplicity to complex blends, will enjoy it.
