I first smelled Terra Firma in their bubble bath format. It was something like I hadn’t smelled before and it intrigued me, kept me thinking about it.I couldn’t control my curiosity, I had to get the perfume.
The perfume and the bubble bath are almost identical in scent. The perfume unfortunately has an added sharpness at the beginning with citrus/alcohol. However about 10 minutes it turns into its real form which I describe as earthy sophistocation. I get moss and wet soil with a hint of geranium all throughout its wear time.
I imagine this is how an aged matriarch’s garden would smell like after a heavy rain. In that garden the bushes and plants have taken over, it’s gloomy, almost all of the flowers are gone. Noone has stepped foot in this garden for a long time. But there is an old stone fountain covered in moss in the center of that garden and the sight of that pulls you in…
There is a certain sophistication and mistery in this fragrance, yet it has the raw “purity” of earth. Definitely not for everyone.

This perfume is strange. At least on my skin, I had a hard time detecting the floral scents. They showed up way later, almost after I had given up..
What hit me first was the sandalwood and the moss. I am no expert, but if any flowery kick was there at all, it was probably geranium, which is not a flower from humid places but from arid, rough soils. So it does have a “down to earth” quality…
(Ergo: “Terra..Firma”). As for the orange, I didn’t smell it at all.
As it dried out, I begun to detect the wild rose, and the magnolia. But what confused me is that I was expecting fruits and flowers to hit first, and sense the moss and sandalwood later, towards the dry down..
This perfume took me a while to “get it”. It’s not for the faint of heart… A bit too bold, almost uncivil. But it does have a certain personality that I am learning to appreciate..
