Closest overall Best for Creamy white flowers with a green edge
The Woods Collection

The Woods Collection Secret EDP

Secret brings lush white flowers into a creamy vanilla base, with green notes and woods keeping it from becoming a dessert scent. It feels full and enveloping.

Jomashop lists it as Secrets, the Natural Collection EDP. Current stock is unconfirmed.
Chaos score 8.6/10

Longevity 8–12 hours
Chaos verdict

The strongest all-round option here for that green, creamy floral mood. Best for someone who enjoys a substantial white floral rather than a sheer jasmine.

How it differs from the original

It can be denser, woodier and more tuberose-like than Vert Malachite, with less of the original’s jasmine clarity. A heady, slightly sharp floral edge can also come through.

What works
  • Creamy flowers and vanilla
  • A green, woody balance
  • Good potential for a long wearing
Tradeoffs
  • Can feel dense or heady
  • The floral balance is less refined
  • A woody or sharp edge on some skin
#2 The Dua Brand Green Mineral fragrance bottle
Spicier floral option Best for White flowers with spice and woody warmth
The Dua Brand

The Dua Brand Green Mineral

Green Mineral takes the floral idea in a spicier, woodier direction. Bitter orange and petitgrain introduce jasmine and ylang-ylang, with vanilla and benzoin underneath.

6–8 hours is the brand’s wear estimate.

Chaos verdict

A good alternative for someone drawn to Vert Malachite’s flowers and spice. It comes in DUA’s compact 34 ml extrait format.

How it differs from the original

The appeal is its spicy floral character rather than Secret’s denser creaminess. Its citrus opening moves on quickly, leaving the flowers and warm base to carry the scent.

What works
  • A recognizable Vert Malachite connection
  • Spicy, woody floral character
  • A compact 34 ml bottle
Tradeoffs
  • The citrus phase is brief
  • Spice may stand out more than expected
  • A smaller bottle than the 100 ml Secret
04 / Our process

How we chose these fragrances

Our resemblance estimates weigh the opening, heart and drydown at 30%, 40% and 30%, using comparisons with the original. Secret’s estimated 8–12 hours comes from timed wearings; Green Mineral’s 6–8 hours is DUA’s brand estimate.

The final verdict

Go with Secret for creamy white flowers and vanilla. It keeps much of Vert Malachite’s appeal while taking a denser, woodier turn. Green Mineral is the other direction to try if you enjoy spice around your florals.
