History
Tryst is a perfume by Hiram Green, released in 2024 and handmade in Gouda, the Netherlands, from 100% natural materials like the whole collection. It is an ode to orange blossom and to the secret moments lovers keep to themselves.
The perfume plays out like a memory : a springtime drive out to an orange grove, winding roads, songs everyone knows by heart, air as sweet as honey and promise, sunlight on the skin. A kiss exchanged beneath the orange flowers, a day kept secret. Later, a bloom found in the fold of a coat, its scent lingering, clean, bright and golden. Tryst stages this orange flower in all its facets, from the green freshness of neroli to the animalic warmth of the absolute.
From the same bitter orange tree, Green draws several complementary materials : rich, indulgent orange blossom, extracted with solvent ; fresh, clean neroli, steam-distilled from the same flowers ; and green, tangy petitgrain, taken from the leaves and buds. This work calls for a profusion of hand-picked flowers, in keeping with a house that composes slowly, in small batches, at the pace natural materials impose.
Olfactory pyramid
The house gives a palette of materials rather than a formal pyramid. The layering below follows the progression described in the press kit and on the official site, from the citrus zest to the honeyed base.
The movement runs from the green, tangy brightness of zest and petitgrain to the fullness of orange blossom, before honeyed resins close the sillage on a golden warmth. Throughout, neroli keeps a luminous clarity that stops the composition from turning heavy.
Olfactory profile
The olfactory profile of Tryst lives in its light : a solar floral, at once fresh and fleshy, in which orange blossom is explored across its full range, from the cleanest neroli to the most animalic absolute. The natural materials give it a living relief, without ever tipping into artificial sweetness.
The distinctive signature lies in this monograph on orange blossom, caught as a romantic memory rather than a simple citrus accord. Where many orange-blossom perfumes reach for soap or cologne, Tryst embraces the honeyed warmth and the lingering trace of a flower found at the bottom of a pocket.
A sunny ode to the orange flower, and to secret moments between lovers.
When and where to wear
Tryst is an easy floral to wear, luminous without being tame, that comes alive with the warm season yet keeps enough honeyed warmth to carry through cooler months. Its citrus freshness makes it a daytime perfume, on bare skin as much as on clothing.
Seasonal fit
| Season | Fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | ★★★★★ | The very subject of the perfume : the orange blossom of a springtime escape. |
| Summer | ★★★★ | Zest and neroli refresh, while the flower stays solar. |
| Autumn | ★★★ | The honeyed resins warm the mid-season nicely. |

By context, it suits everyday wear, the office as much as sunny days out, and works equally well on men and women who love a luminous, warm orange blossom.
