Viridian

Deep Field Aromatics selects raw botanical extracts to ensure each note in Viridian expresses its genuine character. The decision to omit traditional opening and drydown phases stems from a philosophical commitment to representing nature authentically. In a forest, there is no artificial transition between air and trees; the environment encompasses all simultaneously. By applying this principle to perfumery, Russell Weiss creates a scent experience that mirrors natural landscapes. The pairing of Balsam Fir with Yuzu represents the intersection of forest floor and morning light, while Ginger and Cardamom add the warmth of earth and spice found beneath the canopy.

The evolution

Without distinct opening or drydown phases, Viridian unfolds as a continuous forest immersion. Balsam Fir and Pine create immediate aromatic presence, their green resinous character establishing the core olfactory landscape. Yuzu introduces sharp citrus brightness that prevents the conifer notes from becoming heavy, while Citrus elements add complementary bright accents that layer with the evergreen foundation. Ginger emerges within the first minutes, its spicy warmth adding dimension to the initial botanical burst. Cardamom weaves through the composition, providing aromatic complexity that enriches the interplay between citrus brightness and evergreen depth. As the fragrance develops over hours, these notes do not dramatically transform but rather shift in prominence and interplay. The citrus and ginger may recede slightly, allowing the fir and pine to dominate in the later hours, while the cardamom provides sustained aromatic interest. The result is not a linear progression but a continuous conversation between forest and citrus, spice and green.
