Darbla Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) I'm looking for the darkest earthy, deep green, dirt, moss and fern covered, cool, damp, forest floor type of scent you can imagine. Something that would make you feel you were lost in a fairy tale black forest. If I can't find something like this I may try mixing a bunch of spruce, pine, cypress, sapmoss, patchouli, clover, and whatever I have in my stash to come up with something that is deep, dark, green and loamy.Preferably skin safe, but if not I'll be happy anyway to have it for room scent.

Scent Cellar Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Fallen Leaf by Candle Cacoon, one of my favorite scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Patchouli fits that description for me. That must be why I can't stand the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carol k Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Mystic woods. I'm not sure if elements has it or if Rhonda (flickers) kept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 That reminds me of Whimsical Forest from Day-Star. Check out the description and see if maybe you can add something to it if you need to. Only thing is, it is in the clearance section. You can get a pound for $8.

Faerywren Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Gaia from Moonworks smells like fresh turned earth. My son likes Cashmere Woods from Wholesale Supplies Plus. It's earthy, but smells masculinely perfumy (how's that for a description?) also.~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I second the Gaia suggestion. OOB I can really smell the mushrooms! You can also try Rare Earth from Candle Cocoon. Very deep and earthy, though it reminds me more of spa mud than forest floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number2of7 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 While it may not have the "dirt" smell, don't forget to consider Merlin's Forest by Moonworks....it certainly was the first scent that came to my mind after reading your post.

Scented Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Buy some oakmoss and then combine it with some patchouli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hmmmmm....how about a mixture of several of these? 'Gaia' + 'Merlin's Forest' or pine + something ozoney for coolness..... I don't want a single note dirt scent; trying for something that will encompass a lot of the scents you'd detect in a forest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Cedarwood and Cucumber + Dirt (any type) + Rosemary = good cool foresty scent.If using Gaia try adding a little Orris either in the EO or FO. It imparts a musty dry violet smell that enhances it nicely. Lastly, for a damp forest smell try adding a little of SOS's new Mushroom to Oakmoss. It's awesome. Smells just like shittake alcohol and has a unique distinction of smelling cold, slightly metallic and very pungent earthy. a little goes a long way.

TartsByTammy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nature's garden has a fragrance name "Fresh Outdoors" I have renamed it "Fresh Dirt" and people LOVE it. It smells like opening a bag of fresh potting soil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
