Moth
What Moth smells like
Flaking wood and tangy honey beneath a veil of smoky oud, evoking solemn, ritualistic melancholy, for the solitary seeker.
Feels like
wisp of smoke from a snuffed candle · aged honey crystallizing in an ancient wooden box · incense smoke clinging to velvet vestments · the scent of old paper and dried spices in a forgotten library · cold stone walls of a crypt · a faint metallic tang of old blood
Mood: tragic, mysterious, gothic, solemn, ritualistic
Where to wear it: cathedral during a solemn ceremony, ancient attic filled with forgotten treasures, vampire's centuries-old chambers, war-torn 1900s ruins
Main accords
warm-spicy, woody, powdery, fresh-spicy, honey, smoky, floral, amber, sweet, oud
