Vintage. Green. Adelhydes. Three words that did not exist in my fragrance vocabulary…that is until Vert Pour Madame by DSH Perfumes
If I can wear ‘green’, so can you. On her website, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz writes that Vert Pour Madame was “Inspired by the utterly chic and sophisticated style of the late 1970's and early 1980's classic green floral chypre”. Originally inspired by Catherine Deneuve,(DSH had a fragrance once called Deneuve as well)
For me, it’s Sophia Loren circa 1963
Vert pour Madame is an olfactive ode to the fruity chypre in all its mesmerizing glory beginning with notes of Bergamot, Cassis, Neroli, Jasmine Sambac and Galbanum; the vulnerable secrets of her floral heart is expressed in Jasmine, Bulgarian Rose, and precious Orris. It all about the sexy here at the base; Patchouli, Musk and Tonka are the satin gloves unlacing Madame’s bodice.
