Description
“Vert d‘Eau is dedicated to the popular green tones of the fragrance universe that, like the colors themselves, are reminiscent of the resurrection of nature in spring and the power of new love. It lends with its balanced harmony a tangentially masculine touch – green, sparkling and highly cultured.
Vert d’eau preludes with tart-sour lemon peel and tangerine that take us to the magical places of the Mediterranean, accented by gossamer-like nuances of fruity peach. Fig leaves donate their lush greenery that blends in so weel with the lemon peel. The whlte blossoms remain rather in the background and the base provides a discreet but effective and weel-tempered finale and a loasting frangrance enjoyment.” – a note from the brand.
Vert d’Eau by Chabaud Maison de Parfum is a Citrus fragrance for women and men. Top notes are lemon, mandarin orange and peach; middle notes are fig leaf and white flowers; base notes are white musk and cedar.

I have two fig trees and am familiar with the smell of fig leaves. This perfume recreates exact smell of fig leaves. If you like such, go for it. It is a different type of “green fragrance”, where green is usually grassy. Very nice.

A very strong fragrance, the citrus is overwhelmed by the green. It reminds me very much of AdP’s “Arancia di Capri”, even down to the green bell pepper impression

Oh no, what is this?!
My first emotions about this one.
It’s so strongly green, it’s purely fig leaf and it’s no good. Smells like poison to me and I don’t mean Dior’s perfume.
A big no.

I need to open this review by saying that lemon-centric perfumes have never been a favourite of mine, so my thoughts will be slightly biased.
Vert d’Eau opens fresh and lemony, unfortunately reminding me of run-of-the-mill air-freshener. It smells like someone took a handful of lemon zest, dumped it in ice-cold water, gave it a good shake and then threw it over you, which depending on your preferences, could be either a good or bad thing (the association with air freshener made it more of a bad thing for me, personally).
Fortunately, I get a blast of mandarins and its leaves barely 3 minutes after application, so that helped deviate a little from the initial blast of lemon-flavoured water. I pick up a clean white floral too.
As it wore on, it became more floral and a tad less citric, like a pleasant spring/summertime breeze. It felt like you had your nose in a pot of white blossoms, breathing in the flowers and the leaves, with a bowl of oranges by your side. Not bad at all. Very airy, light, and unobtrusive.
And it just keeps getting more floral! As it wore on, somewhere into the 3rd hour, it developed a slightly fruity feel to it. It wasn’t a specific fruit note, but it just freshened it up a bit more and made it more sunshiny. It remained like this all the way till the end of wear.
Overall, I wasn’t very impressed. It seemed to be like a very office-safe scent that is citric and floral. Yes, it’s uplifting, and yes, I’m glad I stuck on pass the air-freshener opening, but this isn’t a game-changer for me.
It sat rather close to the skin, and lasted around 5 hours on me.
