"Green" soil scents?

[joseybird]

I'd love suggestions for a green soil scent...like a forest floor after a rainfall =) It doesn't seem like Zombie or Graveyard Dirt fit the description (please correct me if I'm wrong!)...so...any others I can try? =)

So, are we talking mossy, then???

 

Maybe The Caterpillar? Or see if you can find a single note Oakmoss??

[Macha]

Well, according to others (Penance being one) Graveyard Dirt does smell wet, so...*shrug*

 

I'm not the expert on these things.

 

At least from the description, you may also want to give Nocnitsa a whirl.

Burial, damp, mossy, dirt... my favorite

Zombie, roses, moss, dust and dirt

Nosferatu, wine, dirt, and dry herbs

 

I love dirt scents.

Oh, yes! Do try the Caterpillar and Zombi! Burial isn't as wet as Zombi. Maybe try some imps if you're not sure?

 

ETA: And Dublin!

My newest love, Xiuhtecuhtli, reminds me of a jungle floor. It's not exclusively dirt--there's incense and orange mingled in there--but it's predominantly moist soil, with some incense. It smells very humid on me.

 

Zombi and Burial both went soapy on me, but Nosferatu is richer (though I wouldn't say "green").

Burial sounds like a good bet -- or Omen! Omen smells a lot like Burial to me and it even dries down a little better (but fades faster).

 

Nosferatu smells like wine and dirt -- I love it but I agree that it doesn't come across green at all, to me.
