Treemoss

Deep in a Macedonian forest, old stone ruins hold the memory of monasteries long settled into the land.

Damp earth and mossy bark stretch beneath a canopy of birch and violet leaf, where wildlife moves unseen and the air feels green and alive. Orris drifts through like a soft, powdery cloud while sandalwood hums low and warm underneath. Something animalic lingers too, a wild muskiness that feels both untamed and strangely familiar, like an ancient spirit of the woods. Earthy and tactile, it carries the feeling of walking among trees that have stood for centuries, past worn relics and forgotten paths. Gentle and grounding, wild and mysterious all at once, it offers a way of slipping out of the present and into a place where time moves a little differently.

Scent Trunk started in Toronto in 2015 with a straightforward ambition: make bespoke perfumery accessible. What grew from that idea is something less easily categorized — a fragrance platform governed by an olfactive council that maps out an annual creative calendar, drawing on trend forecasts across art, fashion, food, and travel while giving its commissioned perfumers genuine creative latitude. Each release is tied to a seasonal focus ingredient and the places and cultures it comes from, with artists ranging from classically trained perfumers to musicians, painters, and digital creators working in scent for the first time.

Today, Scent Trunk's Original Editions form the core of what the brand puts into the world — fragrances conceived by a global roster of independent noses, spanning continents and career paths, equally at home with the self-taught and the academically trained. Seasonal, collaborative, and editorially driven, Scent Trunk operates as much like a fragrance publisher as a perfume house.
