Verdant Bloom - 0883

This is my second purchase of thus scent. My wife loves it, good sillage and great longivetity. Peefect for summer but could wear all year round.

Received two of the perfumes so pleased with them very good

Pretty simple scent. Very Lemony/limey with some mint. Harsh at first, half way between a bathroom cleaning product and a cheap can of mojito.

Settles into something calmer/nicer and more natural smelling after 20 minutes.

Very nice

I bought this mostly because it is inspired by 'Torino 21' and also because of the name. Verdant Bloom. Sounds peaceful, right? Soft green, maybe some flowers, a quiet spring kind of thing.

Yeah… that’s not exactly how it starts.

First spray — lemon. A lot of lemon. Not sweet, not soft. Proper sharp lemon. The kind that makes your nose wake up whether it wants to or not. There’s mint too, rushing in behind it, cold and fresh. Together, it almost feels… medicinal? But not in a bad way. More like opening a window in a stuffy room. Suddenly everything’s brighter.

It’s loud, though. No way around that. This opening walks into the room before you do.

Then, after maybe twenty minutes, things calm down. The lemon steps back a little, and basil shows up — warm, herbal, slightly peppery. The mint is still there but quieter now. And somehow the whole thing starts to smell… green. Like an actual garden. Wet leaves, herbs, that smell after rain when the ground is still warm.

This is the part I really like. It stops shouting and just sort of hangs around you. A soft cloud of green. And it lasts way longer than I expected — easily six, maybe eight hours.

The drydown gets much softer. Mostly musk with a bit of that herbal green still floating around. Skin scent territory. Nice, comfortable… though I’ll admit I wish it had a bit more depth here. Maybe something earthy. Vetiver, moss, something like that.

Still, the idea of the fragrance stays clear the whole way through. Bright lemon, green herbs, fresh air.

And honestly? For the price, it’s kind of impressive.

Vibe: garden after rain, crushed herbs, morning light
Longevity: around 6–8 hours
Best for: warm days, fresh starts, daytime wear
Honest thought: the lemon opening is bold and the base is simple — but the green herbal heart is really lovely.

I frequently buy the 5 pack bundle of 13ml to wear about for a week and try mostly niche but some designers and discontinued scents. I then buy 50mls of all the ones I love. Great quality and price and let's you try loads. I have 30 13ml and 10 50ml and still trying and buying more. Cheers perfume parlour. William.

Very close to OG for my nose with long-lasting. Can't wait to wear it in hotter days.

amazing fragrance and smells very similar

The opening on this was unreal for me. The mint is dominant with a hint of supporting lemon projecting like crazy - not in an annoying unpleasant way but in head-turner fashion. I couldn't stopped smelling this on my wrist.
You'll fill a room with this scent. Projects crazy for a good while before dying down and the other notes come out to play. Now I know why they call it 'aromatherapy' cuz this shii is very therapeutic!

This fragrance is more minty and has more basil with more citrus than Torino 21. After buying PP version it was instant love so ordered 10ml sample of Torino 21. Original last 2hours on my skin. PP around 6-8. Plus it smells better to my nose anyway

same as normal

good

Too much lemon for my liking. Haven’t smelt the original so can’t compare. It gets nicer as it drys down but still very lemony.

This is the best citrus fragrance they make in my opinion.

Very close and high quality. Long lasting fragrance.

Really close to the original mr Sam

It reminds me of my days in southern Europe sipping mint margarita on hot sunny day. The performance is above average for a freshie.

Original is very expensive. This isn’t 100% accurate but it is good. I feel it is a bit harsh compared to original but good and cheap.

I was able to test it in Copenhagen on a weekend, PP's is more floral and less pronounced in mint. Resemblance 70%

A perfect copy of Torino 21. A perfect fragrance for spring or summer. Good sillage and longevity on the skin. I definitely recommend it.

More Jasmine and citrus with a hint of the basil and thyme on my skin, rather than the mint note coming through. It is very fresh and clean smelling, personally I think it leans more feminine than unisex, but I thought that with the original too. Definitely does smell like the OG, so if you are looking for this type of perfume, give it a try.

awesome! or as we would say in Spain "perfumón"!!
It has an amazing output.
It is the best current mint on the market that you can try. She is the queen of the crown. delicious.
The drydown is also beautiful! the best summer cool (next to VIW) and why not for the whole year. Some would say at the level of the Xerjoff house, I say at the level of the Perfume Parlour house!!! blind buy moderate/high duration.
