Viper Green
Viper Green by Ex Nihilo is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with mandarin and galbanum, moves into sambac jasmine and iris and dries down to vetiver, patchouli and powdery notes. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Powdery Notes Soft, dusty and cosmetic. The feel of face powder more than any one flower.
