Providence Perfume Co Branch & Vine ~ fragrance review, plus a quick green fragrance poll

Posted by Robin on 13 August 2013 95 Comments

Providence Perfume Co Branch & Vine, bottle plus greeneryProvidence Perfume Co Branch & Vine, bottle plus greenery

Providence Perfume Co has fast emerged as one of my favorite indie natural brands. I don't like everything they make — Mousseline Pêche was not my cup of tea, and neither was Moss Gown, which sounded like it ought to be my cup of tea. Branch & Vine, their latest release, might as well have been tailor-made to suit my preferences, and to suit this time of year, when summer is winding down and I'd just as soon it lasted a bit (ok, much) longer.

Branch & Vine was inspired by a summer garden — "Verdant leafy greens, a tangle of tomato vine. Hints of muguet mingle with mimosa, jasmine and cooling violet leaf" — and that's just what it smells like: greenery, not too bitter and not too heavy, sweetened by a few flowers along the way.1 Fir lends some weight to the base and vetiver adds a dash of earthiness (other notes: sunflower, green bitter orange and neroli) but it's more breezy than deep.2 Without sinking into what Kevin calls the "naturopathic cough syrup or joint rub" style that sometimes characterizes natural perfumery, Branch & Vine smells alive, like the outdoors on a perfect summer day. Just for kicks, I wore it next to Chanel's lovely Bel Respiro. Bel Respiro is elegant and spare, and smells like what it is: a perfect summer day à la Chanel. Branch & Vine's garden outing is not clunky in the least, but it's not quite so aggressively manicured. It would be awfully nice to have bottles of both.

We all know that natural perfumes aren't powerhouses of longevity, but hey, neither is Bel Respiro. Summer doesn't last, more's the pity. But in this case, the natural product did a little better than the synthetic.

The quick poll: your favorite green fragrance?

Providence Perfume Co Branch & Vine flacon

Providence Perfume Co Branch & Vine is available in 30 ml Cologne Spray ($80).

1. If you want a shock of bitter green (tomato leaf!), try the fabulous Memory of Kindness by CB I Hate Perfume, or hunt down some vintage Vent Vert, or the maybe-even-harder-to-find Gobin Daudé Sous Le Buis. For a really vibrant but not bitter green, try Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Shiso.

2. For a fall-weight green, try the also-fabulous Verdant by Tauer Perfumes.

    haha, naturopathic cough syrup (want to avoid those too). Love green scents, too many to name, but a couple of vintage ones I’m enjoying now are Scherrer, Silences and Frond by Vincent that I found at an antique mall. I find Bas de Soie and no 19 to be nice greens that are more readily available. Still need to give Bel Respiro a proper try.

    Maybe I’m slowly becoming sophisticated and subtle enough to return to green scents and see if they suit me. Up to this point, though, I fear I have opted for Marilyn Monroe over Audrey Hepburn. This summer *has* brought me a new appreciation for airy linden blossom and fresh, creamy fig, so perhaps there’s hope for me!

      MR, have you tried Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio? It’s a nice combo of green notes and creamy fig, plus citrus.

        I want to say that I did give that a sniff on my last trip to Our Lady and found it to be very nice! I think the fig I want to buy, though, is Acqua di Parma’s Fico de-whatever. It’s got a very bright citrus–grapefruit?–opening that I really like. Sadly, it is currently out of stock at the Perfume House, so I’ve been put on hold. . .

          Hi Marjorie Rose! Personally I don’t think Ninfeo Mio is a fig fragrance, though fig is an understated note in it. I find it primarily green and much too bitter (I’m a total wimp when it comes to galbanum)

        Robin, over a few days in July, I drained a large spray sample of Tauer’s Zeta. So, I purchased a bottle and have worn it more days than not the past three weeks! It is definitely softer than what I normally wear, but it feels right–sunny and fresh–for this oddly humid (by Oregon standards) summer!

      Both great actresses. MM claimed to sleep in nothing but Channel No. 5, hardly a perfume endorsement a fume head should be ashamed to follow.
      I believe Hepburn, was associated with Givenchy in perfumes as well as clothing, which would have joined her with Monroe, in the French floral camp.
      Too bad the ladies never worked together. I can just imagine them, a diplomat (Hepburn) and a showgirl/spy (Monroe) joining together on a trip through Grasse where they meet Paul Henried and Charles Boyer.

        Hey, that sounds like a great movie! A shame it was never made. . .

        I know Monroe was quoted to wear No. 5, and I mostly mean to use her as an archetype–that I tend to choose the showier, maybe overtly feminine without being innocent, over the seemingly more introverted, intellectual styles I associate with the Hepburn archetype–if that makes any sense? I guess I could have easily said I was more a Joan than a Peggy (a la Mad Men) in my perfume stylings!

    This is the second tempting review I’ve read of Branch and Vine — it sounds delightful. Not that I have any shortage of greens: have been wearing a lot of Chamade, Apercu, No. 19, Silences, Cristalle EDT, YSL Y, Private Collection, and vintage Ma Griffe parfum. Of those, I probably wear Y the most — it always seems to hit the spot, and it can be sprayed with abandon.

      Always glad to see mention of Apercu, I never hear about it. I don’t even always remember it myself, and I own a bottle.

      Vintage Ma Griffe is another one worth seeking out.

    I like a tinge of green in almost everything, and especially colognes, but don’t have too many fragrances of the “We demand a shrubbery!” type. For green through and through, I probably depend most on Aliage and Mito.

          I love Dennis too! He’s my favourite MP character of all time. And I’d buy any perfume named Farcical Aquatic Ceremony. What do you think about Lovely Filth for a fragrance with an earthy note? (Actually, it might be the only note.)

    I like green scents, not perhaps my favourite category, although I don’t really know what that might be, but worn in spring they are truly great.
    I like the usual suspects: Chanel 19, Cristalle EDT, Ninfeo Mio,Silences etc.
    Another great green and salty fragrance is Virgilio, one of the great early Diptyques. I don’t wear it that much but sometimes nothing else seems to fill that need.

        Wasn’t it brought back for a while? I got mine on evil-bay, for a song.

        I love the phrase: ” not quite so aggressively manicured”. It probably touches on why I’m not altogether a huge Chanel fan.

    I looooove green perfumes. They were my first love when I started looking for “my scent,” and still among my very favorites. I love:

    Vent Vert — the ’90s version. I don’t care if it’s crap next to the vintage, it smells lovely to me.
    Chamade
    Niki de St. Phalle
    Private Collection
    Silences
    Balmy Days and Sundays (but smells so much like Vent Vert that I don’t need both)
    Fou d’Absynthe
    Le Temps d’une Fete

    I haven’t tried anything from Providence Perfume Co. yet, but I’ve been wanting to. This one sounds really nice.

    I like green scents in the spring and summer. Niki de Saint Phalle, No.19 and Silences are my favorites. I think I’ve tried Vent Vert, and I remember liking it. I also like Chamade. Another interesting one is Papyrus de Ciane by Parfumerie Generale. It’s kind of a bitter green incense, maybe a bit masculine for me but well done.

    I’m going to chime in as someone who is averse to most greens. In fact I just sold my Chamade as I realised that whenever I tried to wear it, it wasn’t a good experience for me. I find galbanum disturbing and that’s not going to change any time soon.

    On the other hand I do like Private Collection (though not yet bought it) and love L’ombre Dans Leau. I even almost liked Bel Respiro. I like an airy earthy refreshing green but too much of a bitter edge does me in:)

    And L’occitan’s Verte is one of my favourite perfumes!

            Perhaps its just as well I haven’t bought it. But when I try it, although it has a brisk starchy feel, it doesn’t actually cross to bitterness.

            It could be that its not galbanum per se, but most of the perfumes people are talking of here, I do not like! The ones I mention are exceptions, but maybe I haven’t worked out what makes them different.

      I enjoyed it, so it doesn’t have the bitter and pungent note that a perfume like Chamade has. Actually, my main problem was that though the top-notes were wonderful and refreshing it then seemed to become very faint and lose its sparkle altogether. Then again my skin tends to nullify perfume so others may disagree about this:)

    So many greens make up a healthy olfactory diet!
    Chamade, Siliences, Ma Griffe, No. 19, Private Collection, Green Carnation (Pell Wall Perfumes), (old) Ombre dans L’Eau… I could go on.
    But my personal favourite is the galbanum and tomato leaf explosion that is Jean Claude Ellena’s early masterpiece for Sisley: Eau de Campagne.

    Does Bandit (and vintage Cabochard) count?

    Otherwise, I’ve always found greens to be not quite me. There are a few that I enjoy, but I need to be in the mood to wear them. Ninfeo Mio, L’ombre Dans L’eau and Bel Respiro have already been mentioned. To these I would also add Odalisque and Miller Harris Fleurs de Bois which, sadly, appears to be already discontinued.

    Fragrantica calls Flower Market by Lush green, so I guess it’s one of my favorite green perfumes — the healthy dose of carnation is what really does it for me. Flower Market was dedicated to Audrey Hepburn.

    So, what about some more affordable scents? I get compliments whenever l wear Cabotine. I am also using 90’s era Vent Vert. And Demeter has some lovely greens, such as Clover or Grass.

      I recently purchased a grass or garden Demeter oil from CVS Pharmacy. I also got their Earl Grey Tea scent. They both smelled good in the bottle, but I haven’t tried them on skin yet.

      The DSH mentioned above is pretty cheap! The original Gap Grass was great, less so now I think.

      Oh, and Body Time Green Fig Oil! Great stuff, dirt cheap.

    Not a big green fan but I love to wear Un Jardin en Mediterranee or Stecca in the summer.

    Not familiar with Providence Perfume Company – but I bet they don’t have a stockist in the UK! Perhaps one on my list for when I’m in the US next year. My all-time favourite green fragrances are Penhaligon’s Bluebell & AG’s Eau de Camille. Now I’m semi-retired I must read this site more often & join the discussions.

      No, they probably don’t, and they’re not all that easy to find here either — it’s a very small brand.

      and yes, do join in!

    I like Vent Vert and Diptique Eau de Lierre. I’ve also worn Ma Griffe.

      Lierre is great for anyone who wants a soft green.

    Agree, re: Gap Grass. Was once great, now it smells like grass clippings, lawn mower and sneakers.

    I have been loving Jour d’hermes this summer. So much so I really want to try the body lotion.

      I do too — they make nice lotions.

    Some categories of green don’t get along with my skin – the green chypres become a murky, vegetal mess on me, but I’ve got a few that I love: Bel Respiro (and I’ve got scent-glue skin, so it’s all good), Silences, Heure Exquise and 1000 Flowers’ Fleur No. 1. I also enjoy the green aspect of L’Ombre dans l’Eau, Philosykos and Ninfeo Mio.

    I’m still on the hunt for a soft green, so DSH’s Celadon and a few others are on the TBS list.

    Oh, and now that I think about it, I just acquired a different kind of green frag, one of the last bottles of Vetiver pour Elle still found at a Guerlain boutique courtesy of Daisy, Queen of Enablers.

      Comme des Garcons Calamus, when it dries down, is also a very soft green — like plant sap.

      I love Heure Exquise: I actually want it to replace my Chamade which is too harsh.

    Andrée Putman préparation parfumée. I’d really like to try some of the D.S.&Durga greens.
