What does Moss Maiden smell like?

Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, while winter gets the fewest votes. Leisure and evening wear dominate, though some wear it to the office too. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, so although it was released in 2013 as a women's perfume, its gender lean is not clear-cut.

Balsam fir, galbanum, fern and moss lead the scent, while incense and lichen add a smoky, earthy depth. It reads as a fresh, green forest, softened by spicy and resinous tones. Alkemia Gaea and Slumberhouse Norne share a close profile.
