Original Crottendorfer Waldmoos (Forest Moss)

 

Forest moss is an uncommon incense scent. It has occasionally been used as a central perfume scent, as with Jo Malone's Forest Moss Cologne, and Crystal Parfum's Forest Moss, but I don't see many other examples. The scent is rather delicate to the point that I can barely detect anything tangible. I am aware during the burn that there is a scent (beyond the general aroma of burning paper and something cool, like cold coal ash, which would be the scent of the combustible material), however, other than something dry and faintly perfumed, I'm not getting much in the way of details. Very mild spice, something vaguely "green", possible musk and vanilla, and a general sense of outdoors.  It's an OK fragrance, but like much Chinese and Japanese incense, rather too delicate for my personal taste. 

Sold in boxes of 24 cones for  €1.95, and available direct from Crottendorfer.
