Information
Mossy notes in perfumes are a scent group that often appears as one accord. These are fragrance notes that evoke the smell of damp earth, moss, and woody accents.
Various ingredients can be included in the mossy accord, such as patchouli oil, oakmoss, vetiver, amber, cedar, or musk. The combination of woody and green notes creates the impression of a cool, raw, and natural scent, as if reminiscent of a forest after rain.
The mossy accord can be used as a heart or base note, depending on the fragrance composition. When combined with other notes, such as floral, fruity, or spicy ones, it can create incredibly interesting and original perfumes.
