Description
Wildbloom Vert is the new fragrance from Banana Republic; the new variant of the Wildbloom edition from 2011. This new fragrance is more vivacious, fresh and energetic compared to its predecessor, due to spring green notes. It is designed for relaxed and spontaneous women who enjoy nature and outdoors.
The fragrance composition is developed by Ilias Ermenidis of Fiermenich. Its top notes are green tones of violet leaf enriched with fruity aromas of pear and pink lady apple. Delicate peach blossoms, gardenia and magnolia form the heart of the perfume, wrapped with the base of coconut wood, teak, sandalwood, and silky musk.
The fragrance is available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
Wildbloom Vert was launched in 2012.

Pretty green fragrance. Think green tea, green melon, green apple. Fresh and acidic. Love the bottle and the silk flower attached. I got it for $7 at Marshall’s, otherwise I would have passed.
It feels more like a daytime and summertime fragrance.

I love green florals and the fruit in this one is subtle and doesn’t dominate—it’s fresh and cleans and summery—my only complaint is that it just doesn’t last on me!

Wildbloom Vert opens with a lightly soapy aldehyde marine note of the violet leaves that is laced with some very crisp apple and a hint of what might be pear.
The blooms come in but are on a breeze of a storm coming in, never feeling fully sweet, but filled with the earthy charge of oncoming grey clouds. The marine wind stirs up some earthy wood when the blooms spend out, thankfully cool and not swampy, keeping your white linen summer clothes looking perfectly pressed.
Wildbloom Vert is mostly that marine aldehyde with not much voice from anything else. Definitely clean and fools you into feeling you are on a cool breeze, a definite plus in the heat. You will not be a flowery or fruity goddess at the beach, unless your deodorant is playing that role but that’s another kind of cool and clean.
Wildbloom Vert should be very office safe, no more offensive than if you had used Dove soap, and the bottle is equally clean but feminine. I don’t think this is a keeper for me, as it’s very similar to my Cabotine Eau Vivide.
Safe choice for a blind buy for a blind buy in this category for summer if a like it will match your expectations for what you paid.

I was at TJ Maxx and saw a small bottle of this for ten bucks. As fresh scents are my go-to in the summer and this passed the fragrantica review test, I decided to try it. I like it, but I’m afraid it’s a bit generic. I get a lot of greeny floral notes on first application, and I can understand why it would be called aquatic, as well. What I do not understand is where the coconut is. Perhaps it’s simply my chemistry, but that note is nowhere to be found. I’m also getting a lot of magnolia, but not much gardenia – which, viewing the voted on notes, seems to differ from popular opinion. On the dry down it becomes warm, green, and a little bitter, similar to the dry down of Royal Apothic’s Hothouse Peony, which I love. This, however, is much less strong and has a little less individuality and assertiveness. All in all, a pleasant, fresh fragrance for a hot summer day, and a safe blind buy, but if you’re looking for a signature scent or something that will stand out from the crowd, this is not it. As far as fragrances of this type go, I much prefer Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea.

I had a bottle of this and everytime someone would asked me about the name of the perfume. Its light and wild simultanously.

This is fruity without being too sweet, but is instead refreshing and the pear has an almost citrus accord to it. The the fresh violet leaves come in, with a creamy white floral. The dry down is a faint skin musk, the only real drawback is the dry down is a bit dull. Otherwise its lovely for someone looking for a non-citrus fruit scent that is still fresh, not cloying.

I love the initial spray, its perfect for Spring as suggested but the dry down seems quite sour which sadly ruins it for me 🙁

Tried this today and loved it! It is very fresh and light with a teeny bit of spice, but lasted for hours. I loved the bottle too. 🙂 it’s on my want list.

I find it to have a strong soapy factor at the beginning with a strong white floral presence. Then it settles down to a luscious green and aquatic lotus-like flower. I don’t think I get coconut. It lacks a real fruity edge but instead it’s dominated by green and aromatic quality of clean floral accord. In conclusion, I think Wildbloom Vert is not as fruity and fun as the original Wildbloom, but, it feels more sophisticated. Whichever your prefer, they both are still solid choice from Banana Republic.
