Moss and Mint Body & Soul

What a beautiful, light and refreshing scent! It somewhat resembles Herba Fresca but it is slightly less 'green' and more 'pink', and slightly sweeter. The mint here is very light, freshly crushed and sweet, mixed with pink apple blossom and some moss. Lilly of the valley is lurking somewhere in the background, hiding with vetiver. I really really like it. To me, it smells of a warm spring day, after a night of light drizzly rain. Perfect wear for spring or summer, definitely unisex but perhaps leaning a bit more towards a female scent due to apple sweetness. I will comment on longevity after I have worn it for a day, but I have a feeling it is not going to be great despite me putting very generous 15 sprays on!!! Still....it is a 100ml bottle for under £30 so I guess that is not too bad. Overall, am very happy with it and will definitely use it all up. Edit: Update on longevity...as you can see above, I have sprayed heavily, in fact extremely heavily, and the scent lasted approximately 6 hours. Still those 6 hours were very pleasant.

If I had to choose one fragrance for the rest of my life for late winter into spring, this would be it. It is the perfect spring scent and reminds me so much of being outside in the country near the woods on a spring morning. I do not know fragrance notes really well but I can definitely smell the sweet apple blossoms and Oakmoss. There is nothing dark or heavy about this fragrance. I do find myself going back and reapplying throughout the day. Not necessarily because it is gone but it calls my name so often that I feel the need to spray it again, or on my sheets and sometimes just into the air. I'm trying to make this bottle last because it's no longer available in body spray. I'll be very sad when this bottle is gone.

Damp Wet Moss and Crushed Sweet Mint. Vetiver Root rounding out the mix with apple blossom lingering. Long Lasting, uplifting, fresh and very Spring. This is a wonderful natural smelling earthy tonic with great staying power and mood lifting abilities. it's transitive and totally non-synthetic smelling. Long lasting, radiates about an arms length away for 4-6 hours. I have all of these fragrances now, and each one has been its own delight. Long live the Nest Body & Soul Sprays!!!

The beginning is problematic for me. Marshall's has this, Nest Orange Blossom and Nest Grapefruit on sale for $12.99 USD...so I snapped up the Orange Blossom...which is wonderful. Running home and looking up the others on Fragrantica and finding Moss and Mint compared to AA Herba Fresca, I thought "Why not?" At first all was well, I smelled a slightly deeper version of the minty note in Herba Fresca...then it crashed into a sour almost vinegary scent with mossy undertones. Not pleasant at all. But I was driving, so I had to wait...and it does improve. Eventually...20 minutes or so...the intense acidity softens, the herbal, mossy note gains a little sweetness, probably from the re-emerging mint, and there is a hint of something floral, though I wouldn't identify it as LoV. Well in, I can smell just a bit of vetiver...which I love. It ends up a very pleasant, soft, mossy/herbal with just a touch of sweetness and minty airiness. I'm not sure I will run back for a second bottle, but I think this is really a very nice, basically unisex, mossy sweet fragrance with good lasting power.

This is springtime in a bottle. Damp, earthy, new growth moss. Green, fresh, natural mint as it is still growing (not a candied or toothpaste mint). Sweet apple blossom. Soft vetiver base. Like smelling_gr8, I oversprayed since I was expecting poor longevity. It actually held up pretty well and the sillage was really soft considering how heavy handed I was with it. I ended up layering Grapefruit, another one from the Body and Soul line, over it which magnified the sweetness quite a bit. I have nothing else like this in my collection. I'm usually drawn to heavier orientals. This was a great departure from my comfort zone and I'm glad to have a new fresh springtime scent.
