To say this smells green is an understatement. It covers a broad spectrum of green from the hesperidic citrus-green of verbena, to the more aromatic spicy-woody-green of petitgrain right down to the drier bitter/resinous herbals of rosemary and thyme. As much as I enjoy green fragrances, I don't find this Miller et Bertaux eminently wearable - it's green overload for me, smelling abundantly of culinary herbs. To be honest, the first hour wore rather uncomfortably, I felt like a piece of marinating meat waiting to be roasted.

Neutral rating: Pros -- Well-blended, pleasant *green*; Cons -- been there, done that I agree with the reviews here detailing the notes and their progression (or lack thereof). It's a completely comfortable wear, non-demanding, and refreshing in a coconut water way -- not quite water, not quite coconut. As Odysseusm points out, it does dry down in a distinctly woody direction, contrary to its name. G,G,G,G does have an Ellena Jardin feel to it, with none of the unique notes that either mar or make those scents (green mango, tomato leaf, etc.) It's closest to an Artisan fragrance in its minimalism and lightness -- but with slightly more lasting power. If you like Fleur de Liane, but would like something less floral, more green, or Philosykos with an added citrus-verbena brightness, this might be for you. I don't think it's worth the niche mark-up.

Greenx4 opens with a bright verbena note layered with various "green" notes. A floral note emerges shortly into the progression, and at this point, I detect a resemblance to Chanel Eau de Cologne, one of the best eau de colognes available. Greenx4 begins to fade after about one hour, settling into a light musk base. As Greenx4 settles into the base, woody notes appear. At this time, the scent is so close to the skin that it is difficult to detect the emerging notes. As its name suggests, Greenx4 stays green. It reminds me of a stroll through the historic streets of Charleston, South Carolina during the spring; gardens, jasmine, beautiful architecture. I enjoy Greenx4, but I wish it had more staying power. Nice but fleeting, somewhat like a spur of the moment spring vacation.

A great green scent in the manner of Mugler Cologne and Creed OV. Smooth and long lasting. Definitely worth a side by side comparison with the other two. Nicely accented with woods and vetiver to add depth to the sappy, grassy, laurel character.

THere's no denying the fact that this is a GREEN fragrance. This is a very citrusy, sappy green. Very lively. Very similar to Guerlain's Vetiver that's out now minus a tobacco accord.

Miller et Bertaux's "Green, Green, Green, Green's" top note smells just like the scent of a freshly broken branch of a young tree mixed with a generous helping of fresh coriander. It is quite bracing and almost too sharp to my nose. However, after about 5-10 minutes, lemon verbena and jasmine arrive to prune back the sharp green claws and then it evolves into a soft lemony floral fragrance which is clearly well made. I detected a slight hint of vetiver in the end but this fragrance dies pretty quickly so you really have to be on the lookout for it.

Similar perfumes to Green, Green, Green, Green (what an annoying name!) are: a) Hampton Sun's Privet Bloom which is a tiny bit fresher and prettier, and b) Nanadebary Green which is warmer and has a more pronounced green tea note.

Here are the notes, courtesy of The Perfumed Court: laurel, bay leaves, verbena, sap, coriander, jasmine, cedar, vetiver and musk.

A really great fragrance and a big favourite of mine. Very like Hermes' Jardin Mediterranee but that's fine with me as I love that as well. The purest green scent out there, smells very natural. Top notes quite like the Hermes but perhaps more full and less flowery. They only start to get different during the dry-down.
My only critisisms would be that it is relatively hard to find and doesn't have as much staying power as I'd like.

Fragrance notes: aromatic herbs (laurel, bay leaf, coriander/cilantro), sap of fruit wood, garrigue, white jasmine, assertive woods (cedar, vetiver), verbena, musk.
Miller & Bertauxs Green-4 is very distinctive. It simultaneously offers fresh green and woody notes. It opens with a verbena blast (lemon/basil/freshly-baked bread) and then segues into a dry yet fruity wood. Aromatic, green, very refreshing; all is excellent.
A note on garrigue it is a Provençal French term for the smells of wild resinous herbs (e.g., thyme, lavender, rosemary) as they grow in the hot baked earth. Many wines from this region, are described as having a garigue aroma and flavor. Garigue literally means a thicket or bunch of low bushes. So whatever the garigue is in G-4 it is certainly green, lively and intriguing.
The wood in G-4 changes from fruity to cedary, and it intensifies. In fact, for me this becomes a woody scent with green supporting notes. It is distinctive, as Ive said, and oddly satisfying. If I were to compare to a Hermés scent it would be Le Jardin sur le Nil. Jardin is more lemony and has an interesting ethereal paper/reed note; whereas G-4 is woody and earthy. However, the two seem like cousins to me.

At last! Truth in labeling! My first sniff told me that Green, Green, Green and Green is the perfect name theres not one green too many in the name. This fragrance is dynamically, blatantly, surrealistically, neonly green. The opening green is not really sharp, but it does have a very clean, defined edge to its greenness. It is a bit bitter in its greenness, but its not herbal green. It is a grassy / bay leaf / dream green that gets its primary complementary support from, I think, verbena. This verbena seems to come across not as floral, not as citrus, but as green, and it works beautifully as green. I certainly relish the unmitigated energy of the greenness of this fragrance. I find Gx4 quite linear, and its linearity is centered on its grassy, bay leaf core even in the base where the green is coupled with a light wood note. I applaud its linearity because the whole fragrance is such a fresh, lively, gentle delivery. This fragrance delivers a brightly sophisticated, absolutely intoxicating green, and I vote it thumbs up, up, up, and up.

G^4 begins with verbena announcing its arrival. However, the verbena doesn't come to mind at all. Instead, I get an inital burst with heavy remnants of mint. The following suit is floral followed by cedar, vetiver, and musk in the base. This adds woodiness to the green floral. It is fresh and not overpowering. Now that the formal convention of a review is done, lets talk about what this really is. Upon the first waft, I immediately recognized this as a clone of Un Jardin en Mediterranee by Hermes only noticeably inferior. I give this a 3/10 for being fresh and green due to the fact that I love this category. The thumbs down reflects the score I gave it due to its inferior comparison to Un Jardin en Mediterranee and for the shame of cloning the Hermes product.
