Is there a perfume that smells like freshly cut grass?

6 grass types every golfer should know, and how each affects your game

Neither, nor.

It’s Essence de Lawn, which we’re pretty sure is French for Essence of Lawn. It’s a limited-edition kit of self-care products infused with the smell of fresh-cut grass.

The company behind it is Cub Cadet, which is owned by Stanley Black & Decker and specializes in high-performance outdoor power equipment.

See the connection? The target market is yard-care fanatics dealing with the winter doldrums, left bereft by their dormant lawns. The kit is also perfect for golfers in colder climes who yearn for the sweet, sweet scent of fairways and greens.

A common cure for heartache is to fake-it-until-you-make it.

In that spirit, Essence de Lawn is meant to be a soothing stand-in for the real thing. The kit includes three items that conjure the olfactory experience of shorn grass: a therapeutic candle; a reed diffuser (plop the reeds in a chemical solution and let them do their thing); and an aromatic mist, fit for spraying in any room, or on your clothes or bedding.

How well do they work?

Siana Calanni, brand manager for Cub Cadet, said the company makes no claims about the benefits of Essence de Lawn.

But, she added, “If it provides a good laugh and helps lawn lovers while their grass is dormant, that’s good enough for us.”

There is something to be said for the power of suggestion. When temperatures drop, some people dream of a trip to Bermuda. Others are content to pretend they’re cutting it.

Is there a perfume that smells like freshly cut grass?

I'm looking for an indie perfume or general scent that evokes freshly mown grass or the smell of cut rose stems without the actual flower scent. I'm at a loss, as most green scents I can find still have a floral note or tend to go soapy.

Help?

Alkemia Mist Becoming Rain and Moss Maiden are both incredibly green and leafy. She also has a perfume called** Leaves of Grass** in her last chance section but I've not tried it.

Sugar & Spite's Meadow: Fields of green, green grass, and a hint of sweet soil.

It smells just like fresh cut grass in Summer. It has that vaguely sharp green smell that reminds me of dandelions & other weeds that get cut up with grass.

This sounds perfect and I've been wanting to try Sugar and Spite!

BPALs Slippery Poppy Tincture smelled super green like fresh cut grass to me!

Sixteen92 the Primrose Path. It smells exactly like fresh turned earth and new green grass. Very green and earthy. It was a spring scent last year, so it might make a reappearance. Otherwise you can probably find it through Sunday Swap or on r/IndieExchange.

Just a heads up OP, this one went straight to Irish Spring Soap on me, so if green notes usually turn soapy on you I would exercise some caution

Poesie Strange Little Girl. It has blueberry too, but no denying the freshly cut grass aspect.

level 1

Vert sur le Vert and Leaves of Grass from Alkemia are both very good cut grass scents. Leaves of Grass goes a little floral after I've had it on for a while but it's very realistic, it sort of smells like sitting next to a garden right after the lawn was mowed. Bath Sabbath has Fiddler on the Green which is just straight up cut grass unfortunately it doesn't last very long on me.

BPAL has a couple of grassy scents. Egghunt Grass Stain Easter single note or maybe Squirting Cucumber Yikes! A spurt of wet, grassy greenness.

Egghunt isn't available on the site anymore but I'm sure somebody on BPAL Madness will be selling it :)

Alkemia Vert sur le Vert and Gaea.

Also Sixteen92 The Grass Harp. This one is just like fresh cut grass in the beginning but then it softens. It's a lovely green scent.
