Moss
Moss presents a complex olfactory profile, primarily characterized by its deep, earthy, and damp green facets. It can range from the dry, powdery, slightly leathery, and inky quality of Oakmoss (Evernia prunastri) to the wetter, greener, and more rooty nuances of Tree Moss (Evernia furfuracea). The texture it evokes is often velvety, like a damp forest floor or ancient stone covered in growth. Its intensity varies; it can be a subtle, grounding hum or a powerfully diffusive, almost pungent presence. As a fragrance evolves, moss typically anchors the base, providing structure and longevity. It projects moderately to strongly, particularly in classic formulations, and boasts excellent longevity, often lingering for many hours.
