Gestanque

I can confirm green notes and moss, but then the "scent" changes after about 5 minutes into something I've smelled before. Namely, when you let water sit for a long time in a larger container (for watering plants, for example), certain bacteria (the name has slipped my mind) multiply, and the water takes on that typical, somewhat moldy-sharp smell, which has absolutely nothing to do with patchouli or mold.
Moss and greenery hold on until the end - then it becomes (almost) pleasant - and the stench lessens, but unfortunately does not disappear completely.
The sillage is okay, and the longevity is limited to about 4 - 5 hours.

The moss and the green notes alone would get a solid 80%, but unfortunately, this is not quite suitable for everyday wear (for me), my fellow humans would surely be a bit irritated.

"Dirt" is supposedly one of Madonna's favorite perfumes...

I can't stand it at all. Smells like mold and mushrooms *shudder*

I experience it the same way as you :-)
Longevity for me is just 2 hours again...

I would have expected more earthiness from "Dirt," since Demeter usually does that so well (and loves it)... I'm curious to see. By the way, really cool title! :o)

Nope :-) The water itself smells different then.

The (pouring) water, in which suddenly some organic solid stuff is floating on the surface?! ;-)
