Hiram Green will launch Vivacious, a new natural violet-themed fragrance, next week.
The fragrance opens with bright and joyful bergamot that seamlessly merges into a floral bouquet of flirty violet and spicy carnation. Waxy orris smoothly anchors this boisterous heart and soft, powdery amber adds a warm and luxurious finish.
Vivacious is an exuberant and joyful perfume. Perfect to zing your life.
Hiram Green Vivacious is available now for pre-order at First in Fragrance in Germany, in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

“Zingy” is not the word that normally springs to mind when I think of violet and I am Here. For. It.
Same!
I am in for the spicy carnation and warm amber:). Hope to sample.
I am in for all of it…hopefully.
violet! carnation! iris! amber! sounds like my perfect perfume. !!
I liked Arbole, and Moon Bloom ok, but neither really rang my bells. This one sounds like it should. I love the Hiram Green bottles….
Very intrigued by this new scent, but while I was reading the news about its release, I saw that Dilettante has been discontinued.. This was one of my all time favorites, a sunny, languid, all natural version of Narcisse Noir, and I wore it a lot. And the only explanation given for why it’s going away was “to make room for new perfumes”. Oh well. I will still want to get a sample of Vivacious when it becomes available.
I emailed him about it, asking if it was an IFRA problem or personal choice. I’m guessing it didn’t sell well, as he seemed sad about discontinuing it. He said it was not an IFRA problem. I bought a couple of backup bottles as it’s my top orange blossom scent.
As soon as Etiket in Montréal gets it in the next couple of weeks, I will run over and sniff it.
Getting excited…keeps reading… getting more excited…wait, available in Germany?! ?
Etiket in Montréal expects to have it available in the next 2-3 weeks, will report when I’ve sniffed.
I think Hiram Green’s style is not for me, but I love this promo picture -violet background and golden bottle.
The description is really interesting. I wonder if it is going to be a bright, citrussy violet or spicy violet or powdery violet.
Is it just me, or does the bottle look different as well? I love their classic shape. This seems to have edges. I hadn’t heard a peep about this one.
I hadn’t noticed that – I see it now! I do think that the bottle is the same and that sort of beveled appearance is due to the reflection of light created by the photographer.
I’m really excited about this one! Finding a natural perfume with violet flower is so rare – even finding the flower absolute is nigh impossible and the cost is prohibitive. I wonder if he has used any actual violet flower absolute or created an accord containing violet leaf?
I remembered this fascinating article from a beloved aromatherapy source regarding violet – it’s quite long but definitely worth a read:

Thanks for the link, Holly. Very interesting.
You’re welcome!
Currently living for this fragrance!
Me too! I hope you review it at some point.
If I can get a sample, I will!
I must make more of an effort to try his fragrances. This one sounds lovely, especially the carnation (I wore Opium when it first came out). His products are difficult to find in the UK (unless I suppose you live in or near London, which the majority of the UK population don’t!) – used to be a tiny shop off the top end of Oxford Street that stocked them, but can’t remember what it’s called so can’t check if it’s even still in business, & I think Roullier White in Dulwich is a stockist, or certainly used to be. I met Mr Green many years ago when he had a tiny shop off Carnaby Street, tried what was available at that time & had a lovely chat with him. The website is annoying in that you have to contact him to find a ‘nearby’ stockist – good luck with that if you live where I do! – as opposed to just listing stockists. Am now seriously contemplating a Discovery Set…
The ingredients sound an awful lot like 1000, no? But the permutations are endless, natch.
