Viridescent LabHouse Perfume

The Lichens Shine! Maybe too much but that's ok!
The downside first: I do find this fragrance a bit more linear than I'd hope for, given the complexity and number of notes at the top heart and base. Mostly, I cannot for the life of me pick up on the grapefruit or many of the woods.
But, that linear, single dimension is pretty complex and phenomenal. All those notes seem to blend into the VERY dominant oakmoss and create a truly compelling deep, moist, green, and mossy scent that I'm really into. Really it seems like the base notes are SO dominant that whatever's on top never gets the chance to shine. But while maybe that's a little disappointing, I'm not mad at it.
It also has eternal longevity. I had the chance to speak with Miriam at a farmers market recently where I bought my travel size and she mentioned being inspired by Arabic perfumes and that definitely comes through in both the performance and, as mentioned, the deep and complex yet linear quality. This has become my new favorite base for layering as some of my lighter + citrus scents smell lovely on top and once they fade I am still impressed with this scent hours later.
Miriam, well done! Look forward to seeing you again and trying out some more of your scents.
