The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Mystic Moss by Dries Van Noten, launched in 2024 and crafted by Nicolas Bonneville, is a Chypre fragrance that balances the freshness of green mandarin and clary sage with earthy depths of oakmoss and patchouli. The composition is both aromatic and mossy, with an unexpected marine note that adds a sense of aquatic mystery to its warm spiciness. This scent embodies the brand's signature blend of elegance and unconventional elements, creating a fragrance that feels both familiar and surprising.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms slowly, so give it time to develop on your skin. Apply in light layers and let it settle for about half an hour before heading out. It's best enjoyed close to the skin rather than filling a room.
