The smell of earth – but which planet are we on?

That’s not just a catchy line; it’s also what I said the first time I tried to describe this fragrance.

Because yes, there’s earth – vetiver, damp wood, all that good stuff.
But then come the fruity notes, guava and rhubarb, giving the perfume its sharp acidity.
And then there’s that scent of mushrooms, cucumber, and moss – surprising, disorienting.

We’re hikers, yes, but on another planet.
A planet that wavers between realism and cartoon, where strange fruits grow on trees (though are those even trees?).
And just like on earthly hikes, the best part begins when we get lost.

Props for Creativity

This is likely the most unique fragrance that I have tried that is still wearable, but for me, it's just barely wearable. It's very creative, but I can't imagine ever reaching for this. I can't think of any occasion to wear this. It reminds me of being a kid and eating dirt because it smells exactly like dirt. Good dirt! But definitely dirt. I enjoy challenging scents, but it's too much for me.

Bright green in a bottle

Paradisi is probably the greenest green scent I’ve ever smelled. It smells not just garden-inspired - like many green and floral fragrances - this is the whole garden: damp wood, dirt, leaves, cuttings, the greenhouse.. If you're into gardening, you'll probably love this.

I thought I could smell that fresh, herbaceous, slightly spicy note of tomato leaf (which I really love), but it's not in the notes. This whole fragrance does have that same aromatic, earthy and vegetal feel though.

From the bright green, fresh opening, I was expecting the soil and mushroom notes to come out a bit more in the dry down, but the scent is quite linear: the citrus, guava and grapefruit stay prominent and to me it's more green, citrussy and aromatic, with the earthiness more in the background. Lovely fragrance though, very sparkly, bright and uplifting. It didn't take me long to decide I wanted a full bottle of this!

Realest dirtiest green

This is pretty photorealistic fresh cut vine to me. It brings back memories of early summer days helping my dad work in the garden in the morning. Grass ripped out of the ground from the root. Dried down earthy and soil-y. On me, it turns into BO, but no an unpleasant BO I actually like it. But I wouldn’t wear to work, usually a lounge around scent or night out. Great price point too!

dirty guava

fresh fruit, and sprouting flowers from a jungle (or otherwise organic source) with nitrogenous, loamy soil. it is fertile, fresh, and surprisingly wearable. it is overwhelmingly mushroom and dirt on me, but fresh dirt, and to me it's heavenly! might not be everyone's taste, though. the fruit and flowers just *barely* come through, but it's still enjoyable!
