The Character of Green Devil
Green Devil is a unisex oil perfume by the Spanish brand Cabinet XIII, built around a striking contrast of bitter greenery, spices, and warm leather.
It is an expressive composition at the intersection of leather and fougere styles: somewhat dark, dry, self-assured, and distinctly artistic.
The name Green Devil captures the fragrance's mood perfectly: it has cool herbal astringency, smoky depth, and a subtly provocative leathery edge.
It does not aim to be "safe" or airy; instead, it creates a memorable, rich aura around its wearer.
Development on the Skin
Green Devil opens with green, spicy, and slightly intoxicating notes: absinthe, wormwood, and star anise create a cool, slightly bitter accord with an aristocratic medicinal nuance.
This phase will particularly appeal to those who appreciate wormwood greenery, dry herbs, and unconventional spicy facets in perfumery.
The composition then becomes softer and fuller.
At its heart, a leather accord emerges, surrounded by balsamic labdanum and velvety suede. It does not smell like sharp leather, but rather like a warm, slightly smoky material with a tactile quality.
In the base, amber, oakmoss, grass, plant roots, powdery notes, and woody notes sustain the green-leather theme for a long time.
The dry-down is earthy, dry, and enveloping, with a beautiful mossy shadow and calm woody warmth.
Sillage and Application
Green Devil has a very strong sillage, so it is best approached as a statement accessory rather than a background fragrance.
The oil format develops close to the skin and gradually gains depth, although the composition's intensity calls for careful application.
Start with a small amount on pulse points, such as the wrists or behind the ears, and give the fragrance a few minutes to develop.
Apply it to clothing with particular care: oil perfumes can leave marks on delicate and light-colored fabrics, so it is wiser to test the material first in an inconspicuous area.
Who It Suits
This unisex perfume feels especially natural in cool weather, in the evening, for a walk, an exhibition, or a gathering where you want to emphasize your individuality.
Its green bitterness and leather make it an interesting choice for lovers of niche, unconventional fragrances with a slightly Gothic mood.
The composition was created by Erasmo de la Parra, the brand owner.
In Green Devil, he pairs fougere freshness not with familiar cleanliness, but with a dark leather-amber base. This contrast creates the fragrance's distinctive signature.
Similar Fragrances
Those drawn to the idea of leather with a pronounced dark edge may also wish to try Mugler Alien Les Parfums de Cuir.
However, Green Devil stands out for its wormwood-absinthe opening and mossy-herbal trail, making it feel greener, drier, and more mysterious.
