HIRAM GREEN

Hiram's perfumes are best described as intense, opulent and expressive challenging the often-heard criticism that natural perfumery is boring, fast fleeing and has less sillage than traditional perfumery. 

Hiram Green is a Canadian-born natural perfumer working in the Netherlands. A founder of the Scent Systems perfumery in London, Green's interest in natural perfumery developed after learning about the synthetic ingredients of which most perfumes are comprised. Seeking an alternative, Green relocated to the Netherlands, where he creates fragrances entirely from finest natural ingredients and offers them in small batches to his customers. 

He sources precious and sometimes extremely costly natural ingredients from all over the world. The perfumes' rich colours come from ingredients therein and give the bottles their jewel-like appearance. 

The initial inspiration for a perfume could come from anything: from music to art to travel. An abstract idea is then slowly, and with extreme care and precision, translated into something tangible. 

The perfumes have been praised by experts and enthusiasts. In 2019, leather-themed fragrance Hyde won the Art & Olfaction Artisan award. This international award celebrates excellence in independent, artisan and experimental perfumery. 

The range currently consists of eight eau de parfums. All perfumes are 100% natural, vegan (with exception of beeswax absolute in Slowdive) and free of GMO. Nothing is tested on animals. Everything is developed and produced in small batches in Hiram's studio in Gouda, The Netherlands.
