What does Fern and Moss / Fern smell like?

The opening is led by citrus: bergamot and pink grapefruit give a bright lift, while basil adds a spicy, green edge. Lavender absolute carries the heart. In the dry-down, tonka bean softens everything into a powdery warmth, and oakmoss and vetiver build an earthy, woody base.

Voters rate its longevity as moderate and its sillage as weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin, though the number of votes is small and these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads equally well on men and women and suits anyone who wants a calm, herbal fougère. Gravel American Dream and Creed Bois du Portugal have a close profile.
