Early and grin
In the past, when I still did that, I sometimes wrote regular perfume comments on my regular S-Bahn ride. Difficult now in Covid times, because the control sniffer on my wrist could get me in trouble in front of the possible control sniffer or at least cause the unwillingness of other passengers, so, I'd better leave that until I feel unseen.
So, green-fresh for now, not surprisingly. Ah, lily of the valley, clearly. What does the pyramid say about my impression? Nothing.
Lily of the valley says nothing, Rosyfolia says nothing, but that doesn't tell me anything. I read and learn that this fragrance is supposed to smell similar to my lily of the valley. So very similar, I would like to say here. Pretty much the same, you could say. I'm glad I could verify that. It is difficult, when you look out of the window you should see November according to the calendar, which is just like the beginning of October, but even that would be no time for lilies of the valley...
I now have to overcome some metaphorical hurdles or scratch curves to get back to perfume.
Lilies of the valley are poisonous, like...well? Vipers for example
So this viper stuns its potential victims with a small but sufficient dose of lily of the valley poison, snakes into the higher grass to wait there hidden the effect. So it soaps them, its candidates, the ingenious snake. Sure, soapy things come into the conversation here, and now beyond that my S-Bahn finally arrives and I have to act in reality for a moment. Sit down. So. On with the green Viper. What did they want to achieve with the poisonous title? Whoever is looking for something suitable for the title will be disappointed, whoever is looking for something else would not choose a green Viper. Either way, it won't work. It smells fresh, green, flowery and soapy here - I think I'm unseen at the moment and quickly sniff through the fabric mask - yes, that's right. A subtle astringency protects against flowery pomposity or opulence and leaves the whole thing in spring.
And what's with the snake? I feel like Eva in that weird garden, I don't think much of it...

Green forests and summer rain.
First of all, I don't normally like "green" perfumes at all. You can actually chase me with them. That's why the small bottle of the fragrance had been here for a few days before I carefully sprayed it on. What a positive surprise. I'm simply blown away by this very, very green fragrance, which doesn't suit me in terms of type but smells so incredibly heavenly.

When I was walking my dog yesterday morning, I was walking in a green and so nice smelling scent bubble the whole time. When I got a few hundred meters away from the house, a lady came up behind me on her bike. She stopped and said that I smelled so incredibly good. She could smell me from a distance and said that she had rarely smelled such a great fragrance. So with the sillage, everything is definitely right on my skin. I could smell myself all day and even after the shower there was still a hint of fragrance on my skin. So it's also super long-lasting.

The fragrance smells like the woods and the lawn after rain in summer. Like freshly mown grass and a hint of summer flowers in the meadow. Like breathing in fresh air in the forest, a cool late summer morning after the rain. It smells exactly like the perfume looks, green and herbal, in the truest sense of the word.

The fragrance starts very, very green and very fresh. The angelica root gives the fragrance a super nice herbal note. The fragrance is also slightly soapy and reminds me in the opening of a certain green hand soap from my childhood that I loved to smell. Green and slightly spicy. In the drydown, the scent becomes creamier and more and more powdery due to the iris. But it remains green. In the base, the vetiver and an earthy but soft patchouli can be smelled very clearly

An incredibly beautiful fragrance and if you are the type for green perfumes, you should definitely try it. I'm not, but I spray a handkerchief with the scent every day and sniff it all day long. So heavenly..

Spring green
Despite the name, Viper Green is a relatively harmless scent. Characteristics like airy, fresh and clean come to mind. With its green and floral notes and its low intensity, this would make a proper spring fragrance.

The florals in this fragrance feel a bit common, not to say generic - soft, puffy indistinct petals - but they match nicely with the greener tones and that musky freshness. There is a clear lily-of-the-valley for a top note, which has a sharp edge to it. For a moment I thought this was going towards Envy Eau de Toilette . But as soon as those other florals emerge, the lily-of-the-valley fades out fast and the scent loses most of its sharpness. The end state is a greenish iris-vetiver-musk blend.

With me, green florals are always a sure hit. Viper Green's scent profile does not really stand out, but the general sense of quality and comfort makes up for that. If I did not already have a few similar perfumes, this would be a good candidate.

Green-floral clean scent per excellence
The Viper Green is a really beautifully crafted fragrance.
Green-floral and that per excellence.

Admittedly, I tend to see the fragrance more on a woman, but you can still wear it as a man (discreetly dosed). A woman can apply more. It just fits better, but that's my personal opinion.

Somehow I associate this fragrance with a warm day in the summer garden. Flowers everywhere and the beautiful greenery around you.

As the fragrance progresses, it also becomes increasingly powdery.
I had read green powder in the statements and that really fits. Greenish-floral powder.

In short, green, floral, slightly fresh and powdery at the end.

Unfortunately not really for me, but I can tell how well made it is.
Beautifully crafted !

Feel-good fragrance
Viper Green has been on my wish list for a long time, but I haven't quite made up my mind to buy it yet. But I actually took it to my heart from the very first moment.
What comes to mind when I think of this fragrance? Fresh laundry, a sea of flowers, powder and a certain warm resinous tone also resonates... If the fragrance were a color, it would be dusky pink and light green in my world. It also reminds me a little of lily of the valley. It is also interesting how it develops. The delicate, fresh top note, which I like very much, then changes more and more into an earthy tone.
I am a little surprised that this perfume is not rated higher. Is it because of the patchouli? Anyway, I will add it to my collection at some point (although the price is a bit high).
