Dryad is a wonderfully complex and stimulating fragrance, clearly modelled after the golden days of green florals and chypres. It’s incredibly old school and vintage-smelling, as is often the Liz Moores’ style of perfumery - executed to perfection. An array of bitter-green aromatics and herbaceous notes including a hefty dose of galbanum alongside sage, tarragon and thyme kick things off. Sharp citrus and touches of soapy white florals help to round this off, making way for a creamy base of orris and oakmoss. The combination of narcissus and orange blossom is divine, lending to a subtle innocence amongst the strength of the composition. Primarily, this is a green fragrance. The aromatic qualities are powerful and impossible to ignore, which isn’t a bad thing, as it soon smooths out rather well. I would have liked the oakmoss and orris to stand out a little more personally, but overall this is a stunning fragrance and a must try for any lover of classical perfumes.
