Gaea

1. I tested this immediately and was disappointed. It smelled like hungry dirt that had just soaked up a broken vintage bottle of perfume. Not nice. But not bad.

   I waited a week and tried again. It now smells exactly like cold, wet stone and trees. It is perfection in a scent. If you love being in a rainy and damp Canadian forest in the early fall, please, by all means, go for this. If it was a colour: a deep, deep, greenish gray.

2. This scent starts off wet and green but quickly turns to wet floral laundry sheets on my skin.

3. On initial application it is very true to the description. After about 30 minutes it seems to sweeten on my skin (in a good way). It has medium throw and lasts 2-3 hours.

4. I got almost exclusively pine scents from this oil. I was hoping for something a little more complex. This also didn’t last more than a couple hours on my skin. I can see this being layered with some sweeter, vanilla oils for a pretty winter scent.

5. Predominantly wet soil and stone, with a bit of wet greenery. This is really beautiful and magical.

6. I definitely get fungi and wet dirt from this, it smells amazing, and definitely realistic! I need to find a way to make it last longer, though; as is, it fades fast on my skin, so I have to reapply often. Otherwise, really nice earthy green scent!

7. Agreed, it smells like wet dirt, definitely not the ‘clean n fresh’ family!

8. I am usually not drawn to “green” smelling perfumes since they tend to also be in the “clean ‘n fresh” family, which is not my thing. Anyway, I ordered this because it sounded a bit dark and soily. It does not disappoint, there’s nothing Febreze-Meadow about this. It smells like hiking on a warm spring day after a heavy rain. The dirt is very strong and very realistic.
