Contagious Green — the green character of Catherine Omai
Contagious Green by Catherine Omai is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2023, where citrus freshness meets spicy greenery, noble incense and soft gourmand warmth.
The composition belongs to the green, woody and gourmand fragrance families, so it smells energetic, deep and unusual at the same time.
It is a fragrance with a distinctive character for those who enjoy perfumes with a noticeable sillage and unconventional development.
The release was created by Catherine Omai, a Nigerian perfume brand that produces unisex fragrances in eau de parfum concentration.
Contagious Green shows the brand from an especially bold perspective: here, natural freshness does not remain a light accent but gradually blends with dense woody, ambery and sweet nuances.
How the fragrance unfolds
In the first minutes, Contagious Green smells sparkling and energetic thanks to bergamot and grapefruit.
Incense adds a dry, resinous quality and a subtle smoky depth to the citrus opening, after which the composition takes on a greener, spicier and more textured character.
At this stage, the fragrance feels fresh but not transparent: its richness, characteristic of a vivid eau de parfum, is immediately noticeable.
Basil plays a particularly important role in the heart, lending the fragrance a herbaceous coolness and a slightly bitter nuance.
It is supported by caramel, vanilla and grey amber, which make the green accord softer, rounder and warmer.
Nagarmotha adds a dry, earthy-woody facet, creating a beautiful contrast between freshness, sweetness and spicy depth.
Sillage and everyday wear
In terms of performance, Contagious Green is rated as having a very strong sillage.
The fragrance is noticeable and rich, making it well suited to those who want their perfume to create a distinctive cloud around them.
In cool weather, the woody-ambery and gourmand nuances unfold especially fully, while in the heat, the citrus-green opening sounds brighter and more dynamic.
Contagious Green is suitable for evening outings, events and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality.
It can also work for everyday wear, but its high intensity calls for careful application.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release, so it is best to adjust the dosage gradually, taking your own perception and the size of the space into account.
Perfumer's signature and similar fragrances
The composition was created by Catherine Omai.
In Contagious Green, her style is expressed through contrasting combinations: fresh citrus and basil are paired with incense, caramel, vanilla, amber and a pronounced woody base.
As a result, the fragrance is not reduced to a simple green accord and remains intriguing throughout its development.
Those who enjoy rich compositions with woody-ambery tones and noticeable oriental depth may want to explore The Spirit of Dubai Bahar.
For further exploration, The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Edgardio Chilini Silver Olibanum are also worth considering.
They do not fully replicate Contagious Green, but may appeal to fans of dense, long-lasting and multilayered fragrances.
