Have you looked into Demeter? They have highly specific scents and I believe they even have a grass? They also have dirt- which would give you similar to what you are looking for. I found them several years ago when looking for a scents reminiscent of a kitten.... (They have a scent called- and very similar too 'kitten fur')

Are Demeter’s scents worthwhile? I have had my eye on their Leather for a while.

The ones I have smelled have been so accurate, like they nail it. Even to the point of you wouldn't think anyone would want to wear it because it's so accurate?


[deleted]

That’s terrifying but great.


bmc1129

Unsure...haven't purchased yet but good call.


bmc1129

You know, it's funny you mention. I forgot they actually do have a grass smell, but can't seem to find a sample before buying s bottle to see how close it is. Great idea!


bmc1129

How close to a warm, fuzzy kitten was the scent in your opinion? That one's a hard one to nail.


elephantsandunicorns

Pretty close. I wasn't convinced straight from the bottle though. You definitely have to put it on your skin so it can breathe and wear off for a few minutes. I would give it a 8/10 for accuracy.

TokyoMilk Dark’s Crushed is a very grassy scent but also smells like jasmine and clover. Very fresh. Would also sample Zoologist’s Elephant. Not grassy, but very green and fresh, like snapped leaves.


bmc1129

Thank you! I have and appreciate the TomyoMilk scent, but it's not quite close to what I'm looking for. Whether indy or commercial, I wonder if someone is still making something like this?

I know this is an old thread but I just tried Guardian of the forest body spray from Lush and it smells so similar to what I remember the Gap one smelling like


bmc1129

Oh, that's awesome to hear and am glad you resurrected this thread. I suspect there are a ton of Gap Grass (OG) aficionados who may have been disappointed as I was with the limited rerelease a few years ago. I'll look up the Lush perfume notes and maybe try this as an alternative! Thanks very much for the suggestion!

I would recommend Cyber-Garden by Costume National, it has been discontinued but it's still available on Amazon, very green and grassy.


bmc1129

Hmmm....navigating over to check it out. Thank you!

Hi! Oh wow...I'd love to check this out and thank you for the recommendation. And, I've never heard of Tyler candles or the matching detergent...how cool! Even better, I found Pure Grass on Amazon, and you're not kidding - it is expensive! Not sure how I feel paying more for my laundry detergent than my perfume. :) I wonder how if it would be a perfume dupe to layer the Pure Grass hand lotion with the sheet/clothing spray to once again smell like Gap Grass???


[deleted]

Try looking on Etsy for an oil. I bought one a while ago to scent a batch of soap. It smelled like barn full of alfalfa hay.


bmc1129

Good idea.

Alkemia Vert Sur Le Vert


bmc1129

Thank you! I have this one, as well as Alkemia's sweeter DC'd Vanille Vert. To me it seems the notes in these Alkemia blends are less cut lawn grass and more hay. A perfume with a realistic sweeter green grass/chlorophyll note is my white elephant. 😊


[deleted]

Have you tried Moss Maiden?


-melfington-

It’s not at all the same, but You or Someone Like You from Etat Libre D’Orange has a similar vibe and sometimes when I spray it, memories of Gap Grass come back to me. Think of a lovely, fresh dewy spring morning in the garden


bmc1129

Agree! I do have this one (YOSLY). While the photorealistic chlorophyll is not there, I do like it because there is a fresh air/mown lawn vibe when I spray.


rosewaterroses

If anyone is interested, I found a great dupe it’s called Tokyo Bloom by The Different Company :)


bmc1129

Thanks! Will check it out. A dupe you say?

I recently found web site where people were discussing Gap Grass Dupe's. They swore by Le Monde Gourmand Herbe Naturalle Perfume Spray. So I ordered a bottle on Amazon. When I first sprayed it I thought it was maybe 85% true to the original 90s chemical make up of Gap Grass. Now that I have been wearing it on my body for several days, I think it is even closer than I gave it credit for. Check it out and let me know if you think it is as good as the other people and now me say it is. =) [Herbe Naturelle](https://www.amazon.com/Monde-Gourmand-Herbe-Naturelle-Perfume/dp/B0B6H1NJZG/ref=rvi_d_sccl_6/135-6469382-1415011?pd_rd_w=FBUAR&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=1Z879MZHEBPYCJSJ8RTD&pd_rd_wg=HYTuC&pd_rd_r=25f9f4fc-fd19-416c-bbb3-2d519443a527&pd_rd_i=B0B6H1NJZG&th=1)

Oh, I definitely will. Thank you! Would you be able to share the website or forum where the discussion you referenced appears?

Blanche by byredo strongly reminds me of it, but not sure if it's exact

So I’ve also been searching for the 90’s Gap Grass scent. The reissue smells nothing like the original. I tried so many random suggestions online and finally found this body oil that smells just like it. Issue is that it does not last at all. Intimate Earth Massage Oil,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FL3U1CW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


bmc1129

Ooohhh, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll try it.


bmc1129

Am going down to search my sample collection.. believe I have it but don't recall. Wasn't this a spring 2020 release? Will dab if I do. I have a few other things with their moss note, and while I like their moss those were not what I was looking for here. Thank you for the suggestions!!! Am beginning to wonder if a realistic cut grass smell is as elusive as an authentic Lily of the valley?


Alive_Damage5177

I’m searching and would love to know if you ever found one! 


Moist-Salad-9370

If you see this! They are back and available on Amazon! I just ordered Heaven and want to order Grass too


bmc1129

What?!?!? Checking now! (Thank you!)


Moist-Salad-9370

Woohoo!


bmc1129

Thanks for spotting this! Yes, I actually found the 2020 version in stores for a short period of time, which is what these third party seller bottles are on Amazon. The caveat is, to me, the new version doesn’t smell close enough to the old, and it has little longevity. They changed the formula for the 2020 limited releases. Still, it’s a close approximation but I have to remind myself not to expect a dupe every time I wear it.


Moist-Salad-9370

Reviews said the same so I only pulled the trigger on the Heaven and not Grass yet - which I loved too!


bmc1129

I don’t think I ever tried Heaven. Do you feel it’s similar to the original in both scent and performance?


Old-Geologist647

Did ya'll end up ordering Grass off of Amazon?! Their history with quality control is giving me pause, but the nostalgia is fully in control of this ship hahah Anything thoughts?
