Discovering Moss by Portland General Store
When it comes to perfumery that brings the atmosphere of an old forest to life, Portland General Store and its creation, Moss, hold a special place.
Launched in 2008, this eau de parfum instantly won the hearts of admirers of complex, multi-layered compositions.
Created by perfumer Lisa Brodar, the fragrance belongs to the fougère family and is positioned as masculine, though its charm is universal.
And although it is marketed as masculine, trust us: many women fall in love with its daring spirit too.
A Scent That Tells a Story
Inspired by recipes from the 1930s, Moss transports us to an era when perfumery was an art of slow enjoyment.
Lisa Brodar, the brand’s founder, drew inspiration from old formulas to create something both nostalgic and contemporary.
The fragrance opens with the sparkling freshness of lime and the sweet spice of rum—an unexpected yet captivating pairing.
At its heart awaits warm gourmand richness: cocoa and coffee, creating a sense of comfort and depth. A tobacco base anchors the composition, leaving an exceptionally strong trail that lingers in the memory.
Why Moss Deserves Your Attention
This fragrance has real character: it is unafraid to be bold and straightforward, while remaining elegant.
It is ideal for cooler seasons, when you want to wrap yourself in a full-bodied, resinous scent.
On the skin, Moss makes a powerful impression from the start, then gradually softens, leaving a velvety trail.
If you enjoy experimenting, take a look at similar compositions: Comptoir Sud Pacifique Rhum & Tabac (with rum and tobacco in starring roles), Avon Trekking (a more affordable yet equally interesting variation), and Nejma Puro Intense for those seeking intensity.
Pairing and Mood
Moss works beautifully both for daytime looks—such as walks through an autumn park—and in the evening, for cozy moments by the fireplace.
It is a mood-enhancing fragrance that heightens your sense of inner freedom. Its eau de parfum concentration ensures that you will be surrounded by this cloud for hours.
Try it, and inspiration will not be long in coming.
