Primarily stone and moss, with a bit of soil. I don’t know how many of you have actually smelled a mossy headstone, but this is basically that scent bottled, and I love it so much. It’s a little bit cold and melancholy, which perfectly suits its imagery.
I didn’t care for this in the vial, but put on it is fantastic! It truly captures the smell of a NOLA cemetery on a humid day. The moss and stone smell is strong. This doesn’t last as long as I would like, but could be reapplied once or twice throughout the day.
First sniff, musty basement, yup just like it, also old dirt for sure, dust, not liking it, just too musty. But I never do well with stone scents.
