A Woodsy, Grassy, Herbal-y Scent? (product, brown, lotion, light)

[Jellybean50]

I want to find a perfume/cologne with an earthy natural kind of scent.

Not necessarily the usual sandalwood or patchouli - but something woodsy or grassy, and herbal would be the best.

Does anyone know of such a scent??

I would take it in lotion, spray, bodymist, roll-on, solid - any form, if i liked the scent.

Thanks...

(PS. NOT floral!)

I really love Origins Ginger Essense. The original, not the intensified. The Intensified, at least on me, is WAY over the top at first, then fades away very quickly, while the original scent lingers on me all day never being over the top at all.

I think the calendula scented Tom's of Maine roll on deodorant smells very woodsy. You might be able to find a perfume with calendula in it.

Yum. Ginger Essence is nice.

I also recommend Dolce Vita by Christian Dior. Expensive, but very nice. Keep in mind that perfumes can smell differently on different people. On me, it smells woodsy and spicy.

Less expensive recommendation - Twilight Woods by Bath and Body Works.

While it is not woodsy, I have to recommend LaVanilla products found at Sephora. I have the prefume, roll on, and body moisturizer. I always get a ton of compliments ... and they smell really natural. It's like a subtle, warm, honey/vanilla smell. Very, very nice.

Good thread! I love Origins' ginger stuff, and I prefer herb and woodsy scents to anything floral.

Not a perfume, but Lush has a few body washes that fit perfectly.

Tramp and Grass come to mind.

Karma perfume is kinda similar, and if you want to layer they have bath bombs and bubble bars to match scents with.

Home - LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics

Also try Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab for perfume oils. They make quite a few earthy ones.

Hampton Sun Privet Bloom is grassy, you can find it on the Hampton Sun website, probably at Sephora as well. My favorite herbal-smelling fragrance is Annick Goutal Mandragore. If you're looking for young and mainstream, I think Peace Love & Juicy Couture is a woodsy, green, very accessible scent. Hope that helps!

Maybe Bobbi Brown Beach? It smells grassy/woodsy on me.

These are lovely woodsy/mossy/green fragrances:

Eau du Soir by Sisley
Un Bois Sepia by Serge Lutens
Feminite du Bois by Shiseido
Y by Yves Saint Laurent
Aromatics Elixir by Clinique (doesn't particularly smell good on me, but smells great on some other women I know)
