The Story
Dryad is a green chypre that feels like a walk through a damp forest after a rain. Liz Moores crafted this scent around oakmoss and galbanum, with a heart of narcissus and jasmine that adds a subtle floral sweetness. It's earthy, mossy, and incredibly natural-smelling, with a leathery base that grounds it. This is for those who love classic green fragrances with a modern, unapologetic edge.
