Description
The Bountiful Garden line of artisanal fragrances were created for a woman who loves the natural smell of the earth’s bounty. Offering a variety of fruits, flowers, vegetables and herbs, they signal freshness and impart the free-feeling spirit of the outdoors. Light enough for summer wear, the Bountiful Garden fragrances also adjust well into the fall and winter when they will provide a refreshing reminder of warmer days.
Tomato Leaf by Great American Scents is a Aromatic Green fragrance for women. Nothing signals a garden in full bloom more than the aroma of sweet and luscious tomatoes ripening on the vine. Tomato Leaf was launched in 2013. Top notes are verbena, rhubarb and tomato; middle notes are olive blossom and green leaves; base notes are oakmoss and guaiac wood.
Tomato Leaf is available in a 1 oz. eau de parfum spray and a matching 8.5 oz. candle.

I love this one, very natural, green and actually complex, as others have described. I enjoy occasionally mixing this with Balenciaga’s Florabotanica!!! And sometimes Dita von Teese’s Erotique… And sometimes all 3

Having not ever smelled anything from Great American Scents before last week, I was concerned that Tomato Leaf would be similar to Demeter. In other words, smells accurate, but doesn’t last more than 5 minutes. But I was wrong. I smell mostly verbena and leaves, and it definitely smells very natural, straight from a garden. (Tomato Leaf reminds me of Trefle Pur by Atelier Cologne, only with more flavor.) Yes, the bottle might look tacky, but I like the Americana look. Overall, I really like Tomato Leaf. Different, yet familiar. So far, not one “dislike”.

Don’t let the low price fool you, this is a great fragrance. I love green scents and this is one of the best I’ve come across, way better than many of the expensive ones I’ve tried. It opens very green and sharp, with a hint of citrus and a definite ‘zing’ from the rhubarb, then it mellows out just a little. The tomato leaf and rhubarb present strongly on me, the verbena and olive blossom stay in the background but are noticeable. There is no sweetness at all, and the scent remains green through to the mossy drydown. Longevity and sillage are moderate on me. This is a unique fragrance, not for everybody – but if you love green aromatic scents, give this one a try!

This is my favorite of the Great American sampler pack, I’ve nearly used all of it up. It is definitely unisex, and has a bracing element that I enjoy in cologne. You have to like green scents to like this, as the green scent of rhubarb simply shifts into the scent of tomato leaf that never leaves the scene, but is rounded out by plush red tomato fruit. Of the scents Great American has to offer, I find this the most well blended and natural. It lasts 3 hours on me; I believe that I’ll buy a full bottle to join my other summertime refreshment scents.

I know a lot of folks are curious about this one so I’ll pop up a quick review.
Tomato Leaf has no sweetness at all. The opening is very sharp and green–like a tomato leaf! :-)– with hints of citrus, but mostly herbal notes. The true aroma of tomato leaves is prominent, but the perfume doesn’t smell “foody” or gourmand.
It moves from there to a clean and pleasant herbal/woody aroma. Folks who are attracted to the tomato leaf note won’t be disappointed, but it has a lot going on in addition to that. Definitely unisex and great for summer. It reminds me somewhat of the classic green Herbal Essence shampoo from the 1970s (with the long-haired woman on the bottle) and this makes me happy.
Longevity is good for this concentration at 4-6 hours with moderate sillage. The sample I am testing is a splash rather than spray and I have a feeling the spray might offer better sillage.
Thanks to Great American Scents for providing a sample.
