Earth Zents for women and men

Zents Earth is a nice, woody and spicy scent. It's refreshing and has a bit of a zing to it. I've been wearing it, but I think I would like it better on a man. I love woody scents, but the pine and fir feels a bit too masculine for me. Zents is a great line and I highly recommend trying their collection of 10 samples.

This review is for Moss, also by Zents, which could have been called "Earth" just as well, AFAIC (due to it's somewhat "deep" quality). It's not listed in the Fragrantica directory so I decided to put my review here. The bottle lists the notes for this fragrance as oakmoss, treemoss, bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood, My guess is that there is patchouli and amber in here also, and possibly other notes. In fact, it smells like a more unisex version of the drydown of Perry Ellis for Men (the original 1985 fragrance, not the new/reformulated version that has a box and bottle that looks nearly identical). Moss smells rich and natural, but the projection ("sillage") is moderate. Longevity, however, is excellent. While this may be niche quality, I have smelled niche oakmoss fragrances that smelled a lot more mossy, so don't go seeking this one out thinking it is a massive oakmoss fragrance. Instead, this is for those who want a particular combination of a small number of notes. In other words, it's mostly for the aficionado. It's not "fresh," nor is it "romantic," and it's not strong enogh to be a party fragrance, though it would only work well for that purpose if the 1980s made a full comeback. It's nicely done but I can see why it was discontinued, unless that is related to the oakmoss restrictions of circa 2008. If you have Zent's Earth and would like to trade (USA only) let me know.
