Pine without "Sutherland", but with lots of moss and fresh soil
It's clear: I'm looking at a high-quality forest gnome that can be both bright and friendly, as well as somewhat "dark and grim". It transports me to Nordic forests, which are flooded with sunlight in summer and are hardly dark even at night.
Bathed in mild light in spring and fall during the "transition period" and barely seeing daylight in winter. All seasons are united here.
There is never a dull or boring moment here. It remains exciting and mysterious until the end.
No, I'm not talking about a film starring actor Kiefer Sutherland, who has also played a survivalist far from civilization. Rather a truly masterfully composed fragrance by "Mad et Len", which, despite its class, perhaps has the wrong name. Many a fragrance aficionado imagines "humus" to have a "musty" and "oily" fragrance character. But the opposite is the case: a grassy-green "figure" that transforms into a "forest", a conifer forest to be precise. Fresh and green. And yet with a fine, dark, delicately bitter woody undertone that evokes a great deal of depth. The depth of a Siberian or northern Canadian coniferous forest, where it is alternately damp to wet and then dry. Full of aromas of all kinds of weather. Of summer heat, autumn rain, spring sunshine, cold winter snow, damp moss and ferns on which drops glisten. And full of mysterious twilight in early spring and late fall.
My nose and my mind just rave: "WONDERFUL"!!!

Not bad, not bad
When I first tried Humus, it smelled nice, like sweetened pine sap. There were damp, green notes. Smells like a humid forest and bright green plants. I just wish it stayed that way. Within 20 minutes, it began to morph into a soapy, generic musk scent that eventually dried down to something that smells like clove or a cinnamony aromachemical, but it completely loses that wonderful humidity that I loved in the beginning. Base notes are listed as pine and vetiver? Definitely not the case on my skin.

This brand in general smells very synthetic/chemical to my nose, although they try to make things smell like nature. Unfortunately nothing from Mad et Len have really struck a chord within me.

Humus lasts several hours, though it's mostly a skin scent the whole time, which is totally fine. Definitely worth a sample.

In a similar vein to Apoteker Tepe's After the Flood, but sweeter and less "crunchy" feeling.
