Dandelion
Dandelion by Perfumer H is a bright, naturalistic green floral built around snapped stems, citrus, basil and soft woods. It opens with garden-like sharpness, tomato leaf and lemony herbs, then settles into musk, vetiver and creamy warmth.

Performance Metrics
518 VOTESOpen Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE
Performance appears restrained. The available longevity votes lean moderate to weak, and sillage is mostly moderate or intimate. On skin, Dandelion can feel like a personal scent that stays close rather than projecting strongly, so reapplication may be needed if you want it present all day.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Dandelion opens green, bitter and citrus-bright, with basil, tomato leaf impressions, galbanum, lemon and mandarin around a realistic snapped-stem idea. The heart feels lightly floral rather than lush, while the dry-down brings vetiver, musk and creamy sandalwood for a soft warm-green finish.
Main Accords
12 MAPPEDThe aromatic and green accords lead the fragrance, giving it a leafy, herbal, stemmy texture. Citrus keeps the opening lively, fresh spice adds bite, and vetiver plus woods pull the dry-down away from pure freshness. The powdery and white floral facets are lighter touches, adding softness without turning it into a classic floral.

EDITORIAL“Dandelion by Perfumer H Review”
Dandelion by Perfumer H is a green floral from Lyn Harris, launched in 2024, and it has a very clear idea behind it. This is not a polished bouquet fragrance. It is built around the smell of outdoor play, green stalks, bitter leaves, citrus in the air and the soft fuzz of a dandelion memory.
The opening is the part that will decide it for many people. Reviews repeatedly describe a snapped dandelion stem effect, with tomato leaf, basil, galbanum and citrus giving it a sharp, herbal lift. The lemon and mandarin keep it bright, while the green notes can feel quite realistic, even salad-drawer fresh to some noses. For others, that same sharpness may come across synthetic, harsh or medicinal.
As it settles, Dandelion becomes softer and more wearable. The floral aspect is light and youthful rather than creamy or heady, with orange blossom and a faint dandelion-flower impression sitting behind the green structure. Vetiver gives the fragrance an earthy, astringent backbone, while musk and sandalwood round the dry-down with a warm, airy, lightly woody finish.
The mood is personal and nostalgic. Several reviewers connect it with childhood, grass, summer evenings and snapped stems, which suits the brand story well. It feels most natural in spring and summer, especially in daytime, when its green citrus brightness has room to breathe.
Performance is the main limitation. The voting pattern points to moderate or weak longevity and mostly intimate to moderate sillage. One review mentions needing to reapply after a couple of hours. That close-wearing style can be part of its charm, but it also makes the high price harder to justify for some buyers.
Dandelion is best sampled by people who already enjoy aromatic green fragrances, tomato leaf effects, galbanum, basil, vetiver and quiet modern florals. It may disappoint if you want a lush floral, a sweet citrus scent, a plush woody perfume or a fragrance that announces itself across a room.
FAQs
What does Dandelion by Perfumer H smell like?+
Dandelion smells green, aromatic and citrusy, with a realistic snapped-stem effect. Reviewers mention dandelion stalk, tomato leaf, basil, lemony brightness, musk, vetiver and soft creamy woods in the dry-down.
Is Dandelion by Perfumer H unisex?+
Yes. The fragrance is listed as unisex and the gender votes strongly support that. Some wearers find the dry-down slightly more masculine because of the vetiver, musk and woody notes.
How long does Dandelion last?+
Longevity appears modest. The available performance votes lean mostly moderate to weak, and one reviewer says it only lasts a couple of hours before reapplication.
Does Dandelion project strongly?+
No, it usually reads close to the skin. Sillage votes mostly point to moderate or intimate projection, with very little support for strong projection.
What season is Dandelion best for?+
Dandelion is best suited to spring and summer. The green citrus opening, herbal freshness and soft outdoor character match warm daytime wear better than cold evenings.
Is Dandelion more floral or green?+
It is more green than traditionally floral. The floral side comes through as dandelion flower and orange blossom, but the strongest impression is aromatic greenery, citrus, basil, galbanum, vetiver and snapped stems.
Is Dandelion sweet?+
Only lightly. There is some tart fruitiness from citrus, mandarin and plum, but the fragrance is mainly green, herbal, bitter, fresh spicy and woody rather than sugary.
Does Dandelion smell like tomato leaf?+
Several reviews compare the opening to tomato leaf or tomato plant greenery, often alongside basil. That makes it a good sample for people who enjoy garden-like green scents.
Is Dandelion good for office wear?+
It can work well in an office if you like green aromatic scents, because it tends to sit close to the skin. The sharp herbal opening may still be polarising, so apply lightly.
Is Dandelion worth the price?+
That depends on how much you value its naturalistic green character. Price-value votes lean mostly okay, with some complaints that it is overpriced for the performance.
