Ruslan Fantôme 2020 Eau de Parfum

The Mossians loved their world. It was damp lichens, soft and wild, and the sky was a soap bubble, wide and greenly arched. They marveled at the spectacle when in the morning the false cypresses shimmered citrusy northern lights in the foam, the black spruces flickered camphor and currants across the firmament, before the cedars sweetened the soap and soon turned it a bit browner, the space out there was evidently forest. However, the Mossians were not entirely sure, as the scent of the damp lichens and the mossy oaks from the foaming soaps dominated within their greenish gleaming dome.
As evening fell and twilight spread its veil like black tea over the vault, incense stars whirled across the dark sky, all balsamic resinous crumbs. Ooohh, whispered the tiny beings, as the amber stars became sweeter and warmer and the night faded in a greenish glow.

Fantôme is a small company based on the coast of Washington State, run by Bree and Megan Elliott, who handcraft their fragrances in small batches. According to their own statement, they are always working to keep their wide range of scents available.
In "Ruslan," named after the hero from Pushkin's fairy tale 'Ruslan and Lyudmila', the soapy oak moss clearly dominates, through which one perceives the above-described progression like through a filter, from rather citrusy bright to woody, resinous, incense-warm, and balsamic. The spectacle in the sky of the Mossians is moderate to quiet and lasts about five to six hours.
