Green Envy

Just received this today and wore it to work. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was asking me what I was wearing. I have worn many a fragrance to work but none received the attention this one did. Everyone absolutely loved it and wanted me to give them a spray so they could keep smelling it after they left. I think I have found my new signature scent. Hany knocked it out of the park with this one right here. From the invigorating opening with the citrus and juicy apple to the woody drydown this is simply an amazing fragrance.

It’ real good

Green Envy

I compared it to Greenly. It's about 90% there. Greenley has more stronger green notes off initially and the dry down leans a little more soapy in the Envy version, but I actually love that about it. It's actually what I wanted Greenley to be, a clean, musky, soapy and Green apple fragrance. I love it. It's my signature scent. My wife loves it and I had a person ask me what I was wearing.

Initial Impressions

Green Envy by Alexandria Fragrances opens with a striking resemblance to green Now and Later candy. This initial burst of sweetness is immediately captivating, evoking a sense of nostalgia for those familiar with the candy. The green, fruity notes are vibrant and playful, making for an intriguing introduction.

Mid-Notes and Dry Down

As the fragrance begins to settle, the initial candy-like sweetness is tempered by a woody undertone that adds depth and sophistication. This blend of fruity and woody notes creates a balanced scent profile that is both refreshing and grounded. The transition from the top notes to the heart of the fragrance is smooth, with the woody elements becoming more pronounced without overshadowing the initial sweetness.

Longevity and Sillage

Green Envy offers a respectable performance, with longevity that ensures it lasts throughout the day. The sillage is moderate, making it suitable for various settings without being overpowering. It’s a versatile fragrance that can be worn in both casual and formal situations.

Maceration Process

As with all Alexandria fragrances, letting Green Envy macerate for a couple of weeks can enhance its overall performance. The extended resting period allows the fragrance components to blend more seamlessly, often resulting in a richer and more nuanced scent. This process can amplify the woody notes and deepen the initial sweetness, creating a more harmonious fragrance experience.

Overall Impression

Green Envy is an underrated gem within the Alexandria Fragrances lineup. Its unique combination of green, candy-like sweetness and a robust woody base sets it apart from other fragrances. It’s a scent that can appeal to both nostalgic sweet-tooth enthusiasts and those seeking a more complex, mature fragrance. Whether worn fresh or after a period of maceration, Green Envy delivers a satisfying olfactory journey that is both delightful and sophisticated.
