I started using Fragrantica because I needed help finding alternatives To Ralph Lauren Romance Silver, YSL Live Jazz and Green Jeans which are all finished.
Admittedly I am writing and joined because of some reviews posted here. 1welshdevil and iconoclast helped me (thank you) > I purchased the current version of Horizon and you have helped me enjoy the wonders of it.
I;m not sure comparing Horizon to GJ is do fair. Horizon to me is a budget scent that has bang for it s buck and lasts ages. Really, its just three things Lemon, Smoky (thats the lavender and oak moss) and Pine Kick at the end THATS IT. To suggest buying that over GJ as its the same is not fair to me as I find GJ more complex..
Green Jeans has a greater multitude of components (like the pyramid suggests and unusually I’m pretty much going to agree with it in this instance) that ends in a more subtle pine. Pino Sylvestre has an artificial prominent pine scent so only similar at best (again a simple old mans fragrance – which I also own btw).
If anybody has any suggestions that are closer or worth a try please let me know, I’m down to my last 10ml. ;.(

Firstly I will start in response to iconoclast, who compares this to Horizon by Guy Laroche. I absolutely love Horizon, it is such a wonderful, brilliantly blended green fragrance that lasts and develops well, as for Green Jeans, I get a pretty harsh opening, more towards lime. It dries down to virtually the smell of a Christmas tree. It’s really nice, clean, but imo it’s very much in the shadow of Horizon. Sillage was pretty good, but I found the longevity a little on the average side.
expopyhok – :
This is a hard one to read. It starts off harsh, really harsh. Later on it calms down to the piney scent. The dry down is pretty good, but the opening is very rough. I think I’ll give it another test in the spring to see if my opinion changes. .

Green Jeans hmmmmmm.. Well wasn’t really sure about it so I ordered some 1.7ml sample testers online, and you know what it wasn’t really that bad. Main thing I smelt was Lime & Lemon which really made me feel fresh and summer time style lol. This kinda reminds me of my dads Aramis but a little on the weaker side. I really cant say how long this lasted me because I used it as a splash style cologne but it was on my face for about 3 hours or so. I will be sticking with my small samples for now but I don’t think I will be buying a full bottle because its not the type of scent to take my breath away and to make me say WOW.
If your a fan of pure LEMON and LIME smells then this is the one.

Received a 10ml EDT travel spray of this yesterday and was so bitterly dissapointed. Maybe I was just expecting too much from it ? The reviews here exude so much love for it, I thought it would be a safe purchase….glad I decided to opt for a small volume first.
This smells extremely synthetic to me, to the extent that I just can’t bear it – I recoil with every sniff. Sampled yesterday and again today, but the feeling remains unchanged unfortunately…..maybe the little alloy can has adversely reacted with the juice ?
I know this is, in no doubt, a personal thing, as it’s obvious it’s well loved by others…….but I also see the Dislikes on the voting. I agree with Iconoclast – it is very similar to Horizon…..but strangely I like & wear Horizon ? Maybe there is a single constituent in Green Jeans that doesn’t agree with me ?
I’ll try a glass vial sample before I write it off altogether…..here’s hoping the can is bad !

If like me, you already own Guy Laroche’s wonderful Horizon, then buying this would be a redundant move as to me they smell almost identical to one another from beginning to end. You could argue that Green Jeans is about 1% brighter than Horizon but that would be about it as far as differences to the smell are concerned. On my skin though I found that Horizon has much more longevity, which is not surprising as it’s well known for its outstanding performance. As they both appear to be discontinued, I guess it boils down to the price and which bottle design you prefer. In summary, GJ is definitely worthy of a purchase if you are lucky enough to stumble across it (assuming you don’t already own Horizon – BTW cowboykenny27 below seems to have a good take on this enchanting smell). If you can’t find either, then I suggest you make do with Sure/Rexona Men Quantum deodorant (silver & green can) which as an aerosol also smells remarkably similar.

Hello, today I want to talk about Versace Green Jeans, I bought it in 1997 and is now almost finished, I always used sparingly because besides having a good length I find it just wonderful and I did not like the idea of consumed soon.This fragrance is wooded with mature trees of resins that are released after a day of rain and baskets of citrus accompany the trail, not only freshness but contagious euphoria …
I hope to find even though it seems certain discontinued …… masterpieces should not be forgotten.
A masterpiece.

Green, Woodsy, soapy, heavy, in your face type fragrance. The pine is ever dominant but the nose can also detect the citruses and soapy base from start to drydown. This is a retro, very strong fragrance even for the 90s standards. This is for the courageous, daring man with a strong personality.
I do not get why Versace decided to end Jeans series. Most of them were pretty good and original. Green jeans is a unique piney fragrance and I will miss it so much. For the rainy autumn days, this is the fragrance to wear.
Sillage: Monstrous
Longevity: Excellent
Originality: Perfect
Overall: A brilliant scent that will be missed by fragrance lovers
Andreas – :
It’s green, it’s fizzy, and it’s a decent fragrance.
Gigoursig – :
This is the greatest green frag i have ever smelled ,and i have smelled a lot,believe me-cheap,expensive all kind of themThis is unique and underrated.It has character definately and it is not like the recent gay fumes that came out
Keiti90 – :
I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE OF BUYING THIS!!! THIS IS A BLIND BUY BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING AND EXAGGERATED POSITIVE AND NICE REVIEWS HERE!!!
I LEARNed MY LESSON; ALWAYS TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!!! DON’T ALWAYS BELIEVE THE REVIEWS!!!!
FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!!! FAIL!!!
I DIDN’T LIKE THE SMELL AT ALL!!!
IT SMELLS LIKE ANCIENT & ORDINARY ASIAN COSMETIC!!! NO CLASS AT ALL!!! SMELLS LIKE URINE IN A GRASS!!! SERIOUSLY!
THIS IS RUBBISH!!!
Black_Leonid – :
Green and clean is correct! This scent starts out very vibrant and interesting. There are sparkling citric notes along with fresh marine and piney green notes. This reminds me so much of the colognes of the 90s…They just seemed more adventurous and interesting. As this settles on the skin, you get a long lasting aroma of pine and woods, and something slightly sweet.
Ultimately, you’ll smell clean as a thorough shower with a bar of Irish Spring soap. The soapiness is were this fragrance dates itself. For that reason, I give it a 7/10: really good fragrance thats unique, but too soapy for modern standards.
envextescanty – :
This is nice. Green and clean, almost outrageously so and invigorating. Somehow forest-like indeed (must the the fir, moss and cedar), but also slightly sweet and yes, I know it’s supposed to be male fragrance, but I wanted to try it on skin and I must say that I would almost wear it… although it is not unisex…I have a feeling that this is one of those fragrances that can develop to suit your skin – on mine it is fresh and “natural” and super clean, but also classy and even lightly romantic, but I can see how this could be also rather masculine on a manly man. 🙂 Beautiful dry down.

Bought this in 2001, apparently gave it away coz the green grass is too strong to be used in daytime. Now in 2010 blind purchase a gucci by gucci sport, shocked that the notes are so similar to this. Almost 3 to 1 fraction of the cost. I don’t know who’s the wrong guy here, the perfumer or is it just me. Now that I’ve already got them, I guess I have to start liking the notes all over again. After a while it tends to get better with the gucci.
mihyil – :
After a long time searching for this, finally I got it! I’m just so glad!
Just like the Blue one, this is a classic and truly pure woody. While Blue Jeans is about vanilla and musk, Green Jeans is all about pine. Blue Jeans is sweeter and smoother and this is somehow stronger and sharper.
And of course, both have great longevity.
Love this line!

If some one likes Gucci by Gucci sports then blind buy this one, at least this is 3 times cheaper then Gucci sports !!!!
Gusartoglb – :
Love this line of Versace, the bottle is a masterpiece. I have the Blue Jeans and I love it, now I’m looking forward to test this Green Jeans, highly hope that it would be good, because I’m such a huge fan of green scents.
m1Nys – :
A special fragrance, though the first few minutes may be too strong or crude for some (perhaps due to a lot of aldehydes). There is an excellent dynamism between the individual notes and the overall composition. The floral notes are very subdued but provide just enough of a softening quality. Longevity and projection are excellent too. It takes about an hour or more before it really gets to the point where I can call it exceptional, but then that lasts a very long time! While fragrances with a similar idea, such as Pino Silvestre, can’t be dismissed and are noteworthy in some ways, Green Jeans is clearly superior, and to me, one of the all-time greats. A word of warming, though, this is for the aficionado.
UPDATE: I think the “magic” of this fragrance involves how a generic woody/amber quality blends with pine, citrus, and herbs, persisting for the entire time I can smell it. I can’t think of another one like this. With Pino Silvestre, for example, there is wood and amber, rather than woody/amber, but the notes are distinct and the herb/pine/citrus fades significantly over time. With Green Jeans, there is a one big accord that combines all the major elements and lasts, but you can still tell they are all present and it never smells like a “blob.” Yes, I can see how some would view this as “synthetic,” but for me it comes across as a little strange, though after a while it just seems like a novel smell rather than something un-natural.
Ananas – :
Simply one of the greenest, freshest frags – It’s really great!! – wish I could get some more of this. Discovered Eau Maximum by Nickel nearly as good.
jeka1977j – :
I truly wouldn’t like to find this bottle in any boyfriend’s home, although my mother used the red one when I was I child. Apart from this, the scent is excellent, respectful and inspiring; maybe it is because I first knew this scent when I was very young, but now I miss it and find it a lesson of class compared to most new blends smelling of something very artificial and empty.
adderaAdjurdy – :
Versace green jeans – the most ‘natural’ pine/citrus smelling fragrance I have ever smelt very clean and refreshing -imagine walking through a forest full of pine trees after a heavy rainstorm . Amazing fragrance – a pity its discontinued 🙁
Myshak – :
I love the smell of this Fragrnace! The scent of limes and lemons blend beautifully together!
