Description
“This fragrance’s crisp aroma is one that nature would be proud of. Fresh, green and earthy, its blend of oakmoss, cedarwood and petitgrain is reminiscent of a walk in the woods at dawn—wet, cool, clean and reviving.
Commodity Moss is part of the Black Collection which includes dark, moody and intense fragrances for him, for her and for you.” – a note from the brand.
“My love of nature allows me to spend a lot of my time outdoors, being grounded and conscious of the earth’s natural resources. Breathing in the fresh crispness of a walk in the woods, taking early morning hikes alongside a babbling brook filled with moss-lined rocks covered in dew releases a vibrant energy through the open trails between the blue sky and the roots of earth, connecting my personal space with nature.”—Donna Ramanauskus, Master Perfumer.
Moss was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Donna Ramanauskas.
Bingo – :
It reminds so much of D&G Light Blue pour Homme. I my opinion, Moss is quite masculine.
You get a zest in the opening that fades very quickly and leaves you with moss and cedar. Quite a nice scent, that is more on a mainstream side than being a niche. Not Worth a FB, but it could be nice as a travel scent for a man in 20-45 age group.
Try Before you buy.
Soft sillage and poor longevity.

Almost exactly like Le Labo Bergomote 22. Maybe a little less juicey

This was my introduction to the house of Commodity and I was pretty pleased with it. Now that my decant is finished, I will most likely at the very least pick up the travel size (if not a full bottle since it is on the very affordable end of niche). More on that later.
This one opens with an awesome bergamot mixed with super lush, almost wet greens. A little spicy. I’ve been feeling very into this type of fragrance lately and this hits the spot. It never really loses that showered rainforest smell but gains some mossy notes with hints of orange. It’s awesome and very natural. I could also see eucalyptus as I get a slight cooling sensation to my nose. The drydown has some slightly dry woods and musk to add to the mix. I also get the TINIEST wisp of amber which ties this whole thing together with a great bow.
This scent paints a picture of a place in my mind. I imagine sitting in a post-rain forest surrounded by cedars and some sweet florals, leaves on the trees that are super ripe. Just a lush, mossy forest. It definitely evokes a feeling of calmness and I love it. The performance is very average and it’s something you might get a whiff of in very close distance. Doesn’t last that long, maybe 3-4 hours. Unisex, maybe slightly masculine, all ages. Good all year, even in the office as it’s not going to invade anyone’s space. I prefer this one for sitting at home and relaxing. It’s just the vibe I get from it and I feel cozier in this one than I do almost any other. Love!

I really, really like this one… especially when layered with Rain from the White Collection. Individually, they are both good… but together they are super fresh and bright and remind me of Spring.

Bought a 10ML Travel Spray of Commodity Moss from Sephora. WOW just beautiful super fresh spring time in a bottle,though I wore it on summer evenings also.
Initial spray a luscious quality bergamot hits you right in the face(in a nice way lol) followed by the Elemi oil note that incidentally is used in healing of stress,clearing of sinus problems etc.
So a slight medicinal vibe like a real plant similar to tea Tree Oil (same family) followed by the healing oil eucalyptus,orange and the vital note oakmoss on drydown.
Remarkable scent but I just wish it lasted a little longer I get 4-5 hours but don’t mind reapplying at all. Mood enhancing will lift your spirits!

Moss is a spicy, woody and citrus scent with a wet green earthy vibe and a bit of dry sweetness. It is a well blended and safe scent. Meaning that it can be warn for any occasion. It is marketed to men but I can see women wearing this one as well. Moss can be worn in casual attire or in a sports coat.
I get good projection for the first 3 hours, then Moss becomes a skin scent for the next several hours on me.
Bottom line: I see this best suited as an office scent for someone that enjoys woody citrus scents. If that is you, try a sample.

Is this for men because I love this. It’s fresh with no sweetness. I think this reminds me more of tea than Commodity’s Tea. I can’t place my finger on what it is, but something about this fragrance smells so familiar and good. It’s sweet, citrusy, green. Compared to Bergamot it is lighter, sweeter and greener, less woody and patchouli
Zorrobest999 – :
I liked the top notes of orange leaf / petitgrain, also jasmine. 15 min later its a slighly sweet mossyness. Then after 1-2 hours a light but warm musky woodyness with no silage only smells right on skin.
Got as sample, i like it a bit but the nice topnotes are so shortlived and the mossy musk later on a bit too boring.
Edit: ok so I might have been a little harsh. This scent is growing on me like I was a forrest floor. Yes the top notes die quick, but the cedar and foresty freshness last about 5 hours. Its pleasant, but still not swoon worthy.

Smells like petit grain on freshly washed bed cloths. This throw me back to my grandmother’s house (in a good way), where the rooms are fresh, dark and clean. This is spring and family for me. It last a pretty good amount of time, even for a citrus scent, and it give you a nice close-to-the-skin comforting scent.
Karismaticc – :
This is the only one I’ve had so far and I love it. It’s a unique original beautiful fragrance. Well blended woody citrus notes. I absolutely love this fragrance and can’t wait to experience the others. Also the staying power is wonderful. I seriously thought this was unisex though. I’ve smelled both unisex and female fragrances that smell more masculine than this ●_●

I agree with ConsumerThis: Commodity Moss (as well as Commodity Bergamot) does share some similarities with Le Labo’s Bergamot 22. Because of that (and because it is way cheaper!) I don’t feel the need to purchase Bergamot 22.
With Moss I get a fresh, woodsy and clean fragrance that lasts 8-12 hours on my skin. I would see this fragrance as a safe scent for work / office as well as a great casual / weekend perfume during those warmer months of the year.
8.5 / 10.

A more complex version of Luna Rossa.
I’d say it’s a mix of Brussels Sprouted by Smell Bent and Luna Rossa by Prada.
Personally, not my thing. But other people I know liked it on me.
Gasmar – :
Lovely Scent but projection really disappoints me.
coilone – :
Lovely! Reminds me of Oolong Infini or even Bois Blonds by Atelier Cologne. The dry down is very subtle and airy. Smells like a fresh spring day. This is a very unisex frag. I’m not sure I would go for a full size, simply because it does not long on my skin, it seems to disappear all too quickly.
палартура – :
Smells like summer camp!!! Brings me back to my early years spending time at sleep-away camp in the beautiful mountains of Luzerne County, PA.
Only problem is that I didn’t get longer than 2-3 hours out of this scent. Maybe a heavier application would be better, as it seems like the scent is mild enough not to aggravate with additional spritzing.
Beautiful fragrance! Very evocative of spring/summer.

This is very fresh and a pleasant way to start the morning. I purchased the Commodity cocktail kit and really liked most of them. This one is my favorite. I only would not purchase it because of poor longevity. I felt that way about most from Commodity except for Book and Gold, which both last a very long time. If this did last longer I would happily purchase a full size bottle. Definitely unisex.
kim_goga – :
Green and citrusy. This is extremely easy to wear and I would qualify it as 100% unisex as it doesn’t lean towards either side. However, like a few of the other commodity scents I sampled, this has very poor lasting power. I like it, but I don’t think it is worth buying.
wxn946Diobtetty – :
Smelled good in the bottle so I sprayed a tester on my skin. It was great for a few minutes and then it gradually got worse and worse. It’s difficult for me to describe because there wasn’t one particular note that stood out to me, but something about it became very off putting on my skin. It gave me a headache. Tried everything I could think of to get it off my skin and couldn’t.
Leva93 – :
It doesn’t really last on me at all like I can’t smell it on myself and that’s frustrating. Womp womp.
vit3781 – :
I found Commodity Moss to be a really great Spring/Summer scent. My only complaints is that I wish it had some real oakmoss and, therefore, performed better; lasted only about 3-1/2 hours and sat softly on my skin.
Margokv – :
I have been wearing Moss for two days and I have had quite a few compliments on it from both men and women. I find it to be a good balance of feminine and masculine.
I didn’t find it to be woody. It’s citrusy with a hint of sweetness. Seems aquatic to me.
I like this fragrance quite a bit. It’s easy to wear, is subtle but still noticeable throughout the day to the wearer.
CJatthewG – :
Tested this one at Sephora. Sprayed one shot on my hand. This is a nice scent guys and girls. I could not stop sniffing my hand because of this pleasant aroma! I will be back to get this one for sure!
bbbmmmiiiccc – :
Um.. Isn’t this a unisex fragrance line? If you check out the notes, Moss is the same offering — masculine and feminine are the same..
chrishenry113 – :
Similar to bergomont 22, just much much better at a fraction of the price. One of the best citrus woody scents out there to date. This is way to slept on and I hope it gets out there more
black avenger – :
Fascinated by this smell, so interesting, fresh, and green. People definitely notice when I wear this and have complimented how nice it smells. Sample this, smells great on a man.
trairmFremn – :
Nice soft fragrance. On my skin it’s a mix of orange blossom,very green, wet moss and soft, sweet citrus that smells like lemon leaves. It has a mildly herbaceous air to it that I think smells like sage. I don’t get eucalyptus at all (one house I lived in was near an entire block of eucalyptus, so I’m very familiar with what it smells like).
Take all those notes in a gentle form, and mix in an aquatic vibe. I don’t really get any of the wood notes they have listed, nor the amber. It’s just a very natural, simple fragrance. Not chemically or synthetic. Very pleasant.
I’m a woman who wears men’s stuff all the time, but this really doesn’t have any sort of masculine tone to it, in my opinion. At most I’d call this unisex, honestly veering more toward feminine than masculine. Giving my thoughts on this, not to be stringent or limiting in what is typical for what gender, but just to give a clearer picture to those who are looking opinions on it, without getting to test it beforehand.

Muy bueno pa el verano

I think this is great stuff. Soft and woody, very natural smelling, I could see this being one of my go to everyday scents. I’m really enjoying the Commodity scents in general, Gold (white collection) being my favorite so far. As a woman, I find both the black and white label scents easy to wear.
If this is what the previous reviewer thinks musty butthole smells like, he’s got some interested olfactory perceptions going on. Just sayin’.
Gustpskc – :
I thought Moss was alright. To me it smells like a mild aquatic scent more than a woody scent. I am more into the woody scents than the aquatics. I really got no cedar or amber out of this. I do love the Commodity line all their scents smell natural to me.
