Damp Earth, Decomposing Forest Vegetation, Moss, & Spruce.

If you were to rest your cheek on the green velvet floor of a coniferous old growth forest, what would you smell? Moss spores, earthy mushrooms, and lichen? The pleasant sourness of mold and mildew, of chlorophyll run amok? Deeper beyond that, would you inhale the aromas of tiny organisms, fertile soil, and minerals buried in the clay below?

Moss Collector is verdant, spicy, and vegetal. It was created for those who love the rain on their faces and mud on their knees, seeking to connect with the forest's darkest, dampest, most intimate places. This scent is an allusion to the natural cycles of regeneration and decomposition on micro-scales. If Cascadia represents a cold Winter on the lonely tops of mountains, then Moss Collector represents the thawing forest floor's awakening in the Springtime.

This fragrance's creation was inspired by Oregon's Valley of the Giants and the lyrics of folk musician and activist Mariee Siou, whose beautiful songs pull her listeners gently into the bowels of ancient forests of watchful evergreens.

Gently shake the vial before applying. For best results, dab onto fingertips and apply to the ends of hair, beards, or dark fibers/clothing, rather than skin. Extraits may stain. Store away from heat and direct sunlight to extend the scent’s longevity. Storing it in the box it arrives in is recommended.

Customer Feedback

"Love the Moss Collector and it has indeed transported me back home to Oregon. I am not a cologne wearer, but I do enjoy scents that elicit memories and don't overpower. Looking forward to trying other scents!" -Anthony
