What does Peony & Moss smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: green notes and ivy give it a cool, leafy feel, moss lays down an earthy base, peony carries the floral side, and blackcurrant adds a light fruity sharpness. Fresh, floral and green accords lead, while powdery, woody and spicy tones stay in the background, with a chypre touch underneath.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, but the fresh, green character suggests a scent for daytime and quieter settings. Maison Margiela Promenade in the Gardens and Zara Rose have a close profile.
