Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s more unisex than Moss+, but it’s still too masculine for me. At first it’s fresh, citrusy and spicy. After a few hours it feels more musky on me. I’ll give it away because it’s not for me. But it’s not bad for a guy. Of all the Moss scents, the most suitable for a girl is Moss-, but it doesn’t last long on skin and has zero projection.
This perfume opens extremely citrusy, sparkling, quite sour, even feeling a bit sharp to me during the first hour. Oakmoss is a leading note and can be perceived from the very first minutes. The floral touch on my skin is barely noticeable, very very subtle. In the dry-down, as I say, the acidic part calms down quite a bit and you mainly perceive cedar, surrounded by citrus, now more subdued, really reminiscent of the dry-down of many other perfumes aimed at a male audience. In short: a green, citrusy, woody perfume that recalls a walk through the forest on a rainy day. Skin longevity around 6 hours with medium projection at first, then settling into a more intimate sillage. Truly unisex although I think it will appeal far more to a male audience. For us women I think there are other oakmoss perfumes that I think are better, much more feminine, such as, in the designer world, Chloe Nomade, or even more refined, in the niche world, Gris Dior. It’s not bad but it’s not something I haven’t smelled before or that I consider especially better done here than in other perfumes. I firmly believe similar options can be found for a better price, and therefore I would not recommend it.
Moss is fresh, clean and a little woody, with excellent performance in the summer heat. I was killing time in a department store, visiting the fragrance counter and slowly strolling through the men’s department. I noticed a man was following me around the store and I felt a little uncomfortable. I remember wondering if he was a loss prevention officer who thought I might be shoplifting or if he was interested in me in a “different” way. He finally approached, very embarrassed, and asked me what cologne I was wearing. He told me he could smell it behind me everywhere. I told him what it was and we chatted for a while about the Commodity perfume brand, which he had never heard of. He went on his way and left me with a very nice feeling for the rest of the day. Moss was already one of my favorites before this encounter, but this made the fragrance even more special to me. Every time I wear Moss, I think of that man and it puts a smile on my face. I hope he gets it and enjoys it as much as I do.
Of all the Moss scents, this is the one I like the least. It’s very similar to Moss-, but that one is sharper, and this one is a bit soapy because of the orange blossom. This one has more floral character than the other two in the collection, and a touch of eucalyptus that almost gives it a spicy kick. The scent is still good, but I like the other Mosses more because this one smells like orange blossom sprinkled with black pepper.
If you love Bergamote 22 but not its price, look no further. I love it because it smells very similar, but not at all cheap or like some kind of house-brand clone. I love it. I’ll say that Bergamote’s dry-down is better. I compare Bergamote’s dry-down to a pianist playing fast and effortlessly, but if you listen carefully, you can pick out every note he plays. Moss, by contrast, dries down to something much more blended; much more of a singular note, but a pleasant one. As a Bergamote 22 lover, although it’s not totally the same (but how could it be), this is the best affordable alternative I can recommend.
I have in my collection (Discovery Kit) THE PORTFOLIO by Commodity. 15 different fragrances (15x2ml). Impressively beautiful fragrances and a super opportunity to get to know a new brand. Believe me, with fifteen scents there is plenty of room to explore. You can tell the product is quality. It’s already been a year and I’m still in the dance of fragrances. They open differently in each season of the year. Very soon I’ll highlight my favorites. In my opinion, these fragrances are for people who are not extravagant, and by the way perhaps minimalist, their sound is unique, different from other fragrances from other brands, fine, clean, clear with character but not monotonous. There is no heaviness, there is only a mood, then playful or thoughtful …..
Cloying. The type of perfume that clings but also makes you feel uncomfortable. It’s very memorable. I’ve tried it and realized it’s absolutely not for me. However, I’ll wait to encounter it on the city streets))). I’m very curious to know who exactly (a person of what gender, age, style preferences) can make it their own
I think it’s great. Soft and woody, with a very natural smell, I think it will be one of my daily scents. I really like Commodity fragrances in general, with Gold (white collection) being my favorite so far. As a woman, I find both the white and black lines easy to wear. If this is what the previous reviewer thinks a musty butthole smells like, he has some interesting olfactory perceptions going on. That’s putting it mildly.

It starts super citrusy, sparkling, and a bit acidic, almost sharp at first. The oakmoss stands out from minute one, while the floral notes are barely noticeable, very subtle. As it dries down, the acidity fades and cedar takes over among softer citrus notes, reminiscent of other men’s fragrances. In short: green, citrusy, and woody, like a walk through a rainy forest. It lasts about 6 hours with medium projection that later becomes intimate. It’s unisex, but I think it suits men better. For us women, there are better options with oakmoss—more feminine ones like Chloe Nomade or more refined ones like Dior Gris. It’s not bad, but it’s not new to me and doesn’t seem better made here than elsewhere. There are similar alternatives that are cheaper, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
