Hiram Green
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bergamot strikes with immediate freshness, a burst of bright citrus that dissipates within moments as the violet surges forward, cool and slightly green, with the carnation adding unexpected spice rather than sweetness. The composition feels almost herbal in these early moments—fresh without being aquatic, green without being grass-clipping fresh.
The florals settle into their true character as the spice accord deepens, the violet-carnation pairing revealing clove and pepper undertones that transform the arrangement from purely ornamental to genuinely complex. The amber begins its quiet emergence, casting a gentle warmth beneath the powdery floral core without suggesting sweetness.
What remains is essentially a soft, powdery amber with faint floral whispers—the violet lingers longest, increasingly peppered and increasingly close to the skin. The fragrance becomes nearly imperceptible beyond intimate distance, transforming into something that feels like a skin scent rather than a worn fragrance.
Vivacious arrives as a deliberate contradiction—a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts, yet somehow feels entirely confident in its restraint. The bergamot opens with a crystalline brightness, but rather than careening into the expected citrus territory, it immediately yields to a violet-carnation pairing that's distinctly powdery without the stale, grandmotherly associations that plague so many floral fragrances. Here, the violet reads almost mineral, cool and slightly peppery, whilst the carnation contributes a subtle spice—clove and cinnamon notes threading through the composition like silk ribbon. This is where the 76% spicy accord proves essential; it prevents the florals from dissolving into mere softness.
The amber base anchors everything, but it's restrained, functioning as a gentle warmth rather than a hedonistic sweetness. This is fundamentally a skin scent, a fragrance that demands proximity to be fully appreciated. It's neither particularly loud nor particularly tenacious, yet its brevity somehow feels intentional rather than apologetic—like a perfectly timed conversation that ends before overstaying its welcome.
