Verdigris – Extrait de Parfum

KINETIC PERFUMES BARCELONA – a niche perfume label from Barcelona that sees fragrance as kinetic energy: movement, memory and emotion. Verdigris was composed by Chris Maurice, Barcelona's specialist in oriental niche scents.

Verdigris smells salty-fresh and mineral – a sea without blue, more air, light and patina. Orange, lemon, bergamot and lime open it radiant, calone, freesia, rose and reseda meet coriander and nutmeg at the heart, before oakmoss, cedar, amber, patchouli and musk settle into a calm, green base.

Verdigris works best in spring and summer and suits the day. The unisex scent feels cool, clear and salty – a contemporary take on the sea.

What makes Verdigris special to us is the deconstructed chypre: the classic citrus freshness only plays third fiddle, while silky flowers and spicy notes meet an almost white, transparent calone – not sweet, but appetising.
