FERN AND MOSS | Parfum Botanique - fresh herbs, lavender, tonka bean

It starts so fabulous and fresh, and ends sweet on my skin. I really enjoy this scent. Nothing aggressive or too much in my nose with this one, just very mellow bright smelling herbs

About two years ago I purchased the sample size of this perfume and left a review. Then, about 6 months ago, I sprung for the full size roller of this scent because I loved it so much. Exactly as I described in my previous review, the scent was different upon opening than it is now after 6 months. Just as with the sample size I ordered, it seems that this scent has only become better with time. The extremely green and “tangy” top notes have mellowed out and have blended into a more subtle, soft, and feminine perfume, though I would say the oakmoss notes still
makes this perfume a unisex one, which I personally love. If you have doubts after opening this perfume when it arrives, give it some time and revisit it later, it may become a favorite of yours like it is for me. I can’t live without this perfume now. I plan to buy this again and again before running out, so that I always have an “aged” bottle on hand whenever I run out. Layer this scent with “La Forêt Dormante” and you get one of the best fall scents of all time. Worn alone, it reminds me of summer mornings in the forest.

I purchased a sample of this more than a year ago and upon first impression it didn't remind me of the woods at all, it was too sweet at that time for my taste. I decided to give it another try more than a year later and opening the bottle brought literal tears to my eyes after realizing how wrong I was when I first tried the perfume. So, so wrong. Now, maybe it's just me, maybe my taste for perfumes has changed, but I believe that it was actually the aging process of sitting around for so long that brought this scent to be such a well rounded and beautiful symphony of forestial scents (aside from the wonderful craftsmanship of course). Maybe I received a bottle that had been very freshly made and didn't have enough time for the ingredients to "meld"? Regardless, I am happy I waited to give a review. I don't own the full size bottle yet, sadly, which is breaking my heart since this scent truly transports me into the woods where I grew up, particularly in summer and autumn. I also like to layer this scent sometimes with 'ghost pine' and it adds something else nice. I can't say enough how truly amazing this fragrance is, needless to say I'll be purchasing a full size the minute I am able, hopefully I won't have to age it this time.

It has a very pleasant scent, but for me it is more of a masculine perfume.

It has the smell of morning dew into the woods.
