What does Mystic Moss smell like?

The top notes of green mandarin orange, clary sage and cardamom open bright with a light spicy edge. Algae and geranium carry the green character through the heart. Vetiver, patchouli, frankincense and oakmoss settle it onto a woody, earthy base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen occasions. It leans somewhat masculine in votes, yet reads as unisex. Mancera Vetiver Sensuel and Parfums de Marly Perseus have a close profile.
