Fragrance Character:
Mossy Soil is a dry and complex scent . The opening reveals citrus notes of bergamot and lemon , but after a moment their brightness gently gives way to a more austere, earthy essence . Aldehydes add classic chypre accents , but the scent doesn't leave a feeling of coldness—it's moist and vibrant.

At the heart of the composition, earth essence combines with olibanum, introducing a resinous-herbal dimension , while ylang-ylang, rose, iris, and jasmine lend a floral lightness to the fragrance. Hedione enhances the feeling of "airiness" and luminous projection.

The base is firmly rooted in oakmoss , which gives the fragrance a mossy, damp dimension . Leather and castoreum bring animalism , while civet and musk add sensuality. Sandalwood and vetiver build a warm, woody structure, while labdanum and patchouli deepen the overall composition, giving the scent depth and longevity . Vanilla adds a subtle, creamy warmth, making the scent not harsh but rather a gentle, earthy accord .
