Clue Perfumery Morel Map is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Laura Oberwetter. Morel Map opens with Canadian Fir Balsam, Red Currant, Birch Leaf, and Woody Notes, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Galbanum, and Mushroom, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Green Forest, and Elm. Clue Perfumery's Morel Map carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Morel Map is seriously divisive. Some reckon it's a photorealistic journey through a damp forest, capturing the very essence of nature's floor. Others, however, can't get past an initial 'pickle brine' or 'celery' blast, leading to an 'aftershave' dry-down that just doesn't hit the mark. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so sample first.

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.

Morel Map's moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its strong green and earthy notes, make it a solid choice for casual wear, especially outdoors. However, its unique and somewhat unconventional character means it might be too strong or niche for formal events or a conservative office environment. The 'aftershave' dry-down for some users also leans it towards less formal situations.

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 Oakmoss

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

This scent plunges you into the heart of a vibrant woodland, opening with a bracing burst of Canadian fir balsam and birch leaf, softened by a hint of red currant. As it settles, the earthy heart emerges, bringing forth the damp, mystical aroma of mushroom and galbanum, evoking a true forest floor experience. Finally, a grounding base of oakmoss and green forest notes anchors the fragrance, leaving you with the lasting impression of a deep, verdant landscape.
