From Fairytale to Fragrance: Providence Perfume Co. Debuts Moss Gown Natural Perfume

Charna Ethier, the Perfumer and owner of the All Natural perfume brand Providence Perfume Co. invites us to fall under the spell of Moss Gown, a green floral with a delightful story behind it and a bewitching ad campaign to support the launch.

"Once upon a time a faithful daughter, banished by her gullible father and evil sisters, fell asleep on a bed of moss and was awakened by a witchy woman who befriends her and teaches her the charmed spell that will turn her mossy rags into a magical gown.

The children’s story Moss Gown, set in the Deep South was written by William H. Hooks and is the inspiration behind Providence Perfume Co.’s newest botanical scent. “While reading this tale of courage, love and magic to my daughter I was intrigued by the supernatural aura and the vivid setting of the bayou to create a scent that evokes the enchanting gown,” says Charna Ethier, “Like the pages of a book, Moss Gown perfume unfolds in a unique manner that tells a story on the skin”.

Moss Gown is a swirl of green moss, the rustle of bright taffeta petals, and a frisson of creamy sandalwood. Specially designed accords capture the smell of languid green rivers with earthy moss growing wild along their banks and exotic flowers seldom used in perfumery.

Top Notes: sunflower essence, mimosa, South African chamomile

Middle Notes: Tasmanian Boronia, rose, coffee flower, narcissus, lilac, violet leaf

Base Notes:  French cedar moss, sandalwood, white cedar wood

Moss Gown is available in 6 ml. – 1 oz. atomizers priced from $36-$140.00 at www.beautyhabit.com and www.providenceperfume.com

  • This sounds intriguing as I’ve not heard of Moss Gown the story or most of the listed perfume notes before.

  • Sunflower essence….I’m intrigued. The story is, of course, based on Water and Salt (and King Lear)…poor princess daughters. They always seem to get the wooden spoon, don’t they? LOL!

    This perfume sounds very different from most of what’s on offer these days. I am just beginning to explore Providence …this is going on my ‘must try’ list.

    and thanks for getting back to simple subtraction. The multiplication was a beast! 😀

  • Moss Gown sounds lovely and the ad is beautiful
    What a great name for a perfume and the ingredients sound swoon worthy

  • I recently tried a sample of Divine after reading about it on this site when it was orange flowers in perfumery time over the summer
    I love it and am looking forward to trying more from this company
    Any perfume that opens with once upon a time and enchanted gowns gets my attention
    I don’t know what half these ingredients are but I want to try it!

  • ps. I am obviously eating peyote over here. It’s Meat and Salt, not Water and Salt, which I knew – but am an idiot just the same!

  • Providence Perfume Co. has been on my radar for quite some time now-love that it is all natural. this sounds like a perfect fall scent. Like Musette I am curious about sunflower essence-that is a natural note I am not familiar with.

  • Musette… you are the only one who knew the book…. you are not an idiot you are one of the smartest people around. Brie, Providence perfume co is and always been all natural…. everyone.. it’s a great perfume stay tuned because ….. Behnke’s back tonight 😉
