Description
Treemoss by Scent Trunk, launched in 2020, is a woody fragrance that truly captures a wild, untamed spirit. It opens with an ethereal, slightly sharp birch leaf and a hint of green cognac, setting a distinctive, almost smoky tone. As it develops, the scent meanders into a heart of dreamy orris, violet leaf, and the central treemoss accord, underscored by a warm, animalic musk that adds a tactile, soft depth. The dry down settles into a comforting blend of earthy oakmoss and creamy sandalwood, leaving a mysterious and familiar trail. This fragrance is a journey through ancient woods, evoking hidden environs and the secret life of nature.
