Description
Mycelium in Chestnut opens with a uniquely sweet and earthy mushroom accord, brightened by zesty blood orange and delicate orange blossom, alongside the subtle fruitiness of pluot. As it develops, a comforting roasted chestnut note emerges, blending with a nuanced forest floor accord and a touch of fruity-floral damascone, creating a warm and grounding heart. The fragrance settles into a cozy base of soft cashmeran, creamy vanilla, and sweet tonka bean, underscored by the earthy, mineral facets of veramoss and the crisp clarity of Coolwood™, leaving a subtly sweet and addictive trail. This scent offers a harmonious balance of earthy freshness and comforting warmth, evoking the serene atmosphere of an ancient forest. Perfumer: Mackenzie Reilly
