Alkemia Perfumes Moss Maiden is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sharra Lamoureaux. Alkemia Perfumes's Moss Maiden carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher; a divisive, shapeshifting green that some find heavenly and others, well, a bit like cleaning products. Definitely not a blind buy unless you fancy smelling like Irish Spring.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Moss Maiden unfurls with an earthy, verdant blast, like stepping into a damp, ancient forest. Sharp galbanum and fresh fir balsam intertwine with the rich, damp aroma of moss and fern, evoking the aftermath of a downpour. A thread of subtle incense weaves through, adding a hint of mystery, while dried fallen leaves and cedar needles bring a comforting, woody depth to this intriguing woodland scent.
