"I had high hopes for this one but it sorely disappointed me. It started out sharply chemical, like they'd mixed Grass (which is one of my all time faves) with some sort of cleaning product. The chemical scent did fade out but unfortunately, so did the entire scent and it undetectable on my skin after 20 minutes."
"Wet, fresh foliage. Something unique that’s not quite herbal, or fruity, or floral."
"smelled like cleaning product"
"Hopefully helpful for anyone choosing between 2 green scents (like me), New Leaf is a green, grassy top note with a wildflower bottom note while Clover is similar grass top note with an ocean, clean bottom note. I love both-- just depends on my mood."
"This is very light, fresh, and green. A lovely scent that reminds me of spring. It's similar to Demeter's Clover, but New Leaf has a tiny note of soft sweetness that Clover doesn't have, at least on my skin. If you like green fragrances, I think you'll like this one."
"I got this and Wet Garden, and this is much more realistic to me. I don't like the soapy/cleaning product element in this, but there is also something very leafy and nice about it. Not the realism I was seeking, but it's okay if you like sharp clean scents. (For perspective, I like hyperrealistic scents, my favorites so far are Tomato, Black Pepper, Hibiscus, Beetroot, and Rye Bread.)"
"This is like walking through a forest of wet leaves in the fall, and collecting handfuls as a kid. It's a perfect leaf smell, and it makes me happy. My favorite place to visit is our local arboretum, which I've been going to since my mom would take me as a child, and this is what it smells like in the forests when the leaves are freshly fallen on the path where people have stepped on them, exposing the chlorophyll. It's a very fresh, happy scent for me, and I love smelling it!"
"This fragrance does smell like leaves. I mix it with Lilac & Sunshine to get a feel of springtime. Alone it doesn’t provide the effect I would like,"
"It's so tender green and soft, a crushed handful of leaves."
"Like a burst of spring. A bit like grass, but sharper and crispier. New leaf actually smells like fresh, new leaves."
