Peat

Peat is an earthy, smoky, and slightly medicinal scent derived from partially decomposed vegetation found in bogs and marshes. It has a rich, mossy, and slightly damp aroma that evokes the smell of a forest floor or a campfire.

Fragrances featuring peat evoke a sense of ruggedness, authenticity, and connection to nature. They can create a mood of introspection, mystery, and a touch of melancholy. Peat-based scents are well-suited for cooler weather and more casual, outdoorsy settings, where they can provide a grounding, earthy, and slightly brooding presence.

Peat is commonly used as a base note in fragrances, providing a deep, earthy, and smoky foundation. It is often paired with woody, leathery, or spicy accords to create a rugged, outdoorsy, and slightly rugged scent profile. Peat-based fragrances are popular in men's perfumes and colognes, as well as in some unisex and niche perfumes.
