Mossy, woodsy perfumes???

Okay so I need some help here to find a good perfume with scent notes that are very woodsy and foresty!! Nothing particularly warm or cinnamon just fresh and nature!! The closest thing I can think of to what I like is Guardian of the Forest from Lush!!! I particularly like the lime, cyprus and oakmoss notes in it. Any suggestions would be amazing!!!

Ooo, okay, I quite like these atmospheric ones. I'd suggest

 

  • Comme des Garcons' Monocle line is more woody than woodsy but I'd recommend Yoyogi for a blast of fresh conifers. The others like Hinoki and Sugi are more like clean sauna woods territory.
  • Aesop's Hwyl, smoky deep greens and cypress that's more forest like than the CdG Monocles. 
  • Slumberhouse's Norne which is like a very dark, earthy coniferous forest with saps and resins. This is probably one of my favourite forest scents but sometimes it's not available. Try Maison Margiela ’REPLICA’ Fantasies: Soul of the Forest 3.4 oz/ 100 mL  for a weaker cousin.
  • Andrea Maack's Coven is more soil and dark oakmoss than woody but it is very evocative of being in the woods outdoors.
  • Frederic Malle's Bois d'Orage is one of my favourites from the house. It's a bit too polished to be a real forest scent to me but it definitely carries those dark, earthy shades with vetiver and galbanum.
  • Goop's Shiso is forest adjacent. There's greens and woods but it's got spices like cumin which are not forest related. But there's a dark bitter green thing going on that you might like.
