About this deal

Tonka and the expected woody-amber riff attributed to something like Amber Xtreme or Ambermax are here, giving a fuzzy nondescript woodiness that drives the vintage gatekeepers and doomsday-prep hoarders something to shake their fist and scream at clouds about; but here I find the material handled deftly and blended well with the rest.

Moustache Eau de Parfum by Rochas– Basenotes

Unlike other vintage enthusiasts though, I didn't circle the wagons and sprinkle a circle of protection made out of oakmoss around myself to ward off the modernism found in this fragrance, as I find that kind of "woe-is me perfume is dead, let's live in the past and bemoan the future while ignoring the present" to be a bit too nihilistic. I had been eyeing this one for awhile and broke my armistice on new bottles to pick Moustache EDP up and am so glad I did.Nathalie Gracia-Cetto does a good job delivering what is essentially a masculine rose amber and patchouli fragrance, something usually the provenance of the Middle East, in a context that is both more approachable (by virtue of the designer space), and easier to wear. The woody notes of course, which structure the whole composition… It’s deep, thrilling and hot to the touch.

Brisk top notes of lavender, basil, lemon, bergamot and lemon verbena complement sweet heart notes of jasmine, rose, geranium, carnation and honey. With sweet mandarin in place of the reference sharp citruses and amped-up vanilla in the base (and, I suspect, some uncredited cashmeran), it’s a nearly gourmand interpretation of Moustache. The base notes of amber, musk, tonka bean, cedar, vanilla and oakmoss give the cologne its warm, woody foundation and powdery finish. Moustache Eau de Parfum by Rochas (2018) isn't even one iota related to the classic genre-defining original Moustache by Rochas (1949), and that might be a deal-breaker for some. The embodiment of a man who is a free spirit, but refined, the kind you might meet on a Parisian street.Since I own both scents I’m going to give you my honest thoughts on Moustache and how it shapes up to Tuxedo. discount on all atomizers and 12% discount on all perfumes except Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford and Gift Set. Usually, rose nuances would be in a feminine perfume, but it creates a comforting aroma in this case. To complement the revival, a second fragrance was created by Natalie Gracia-Netto for all those who depending on the time or their mood, would like to expand their collection of fragrances to express a wide range of feelings and explore a new olfactory palette.

Opening Western minds a tad wider towards the Middle East style is never a bad thing, although perhaps better done with an original release, not on the back of a legacy line. Change the name and bottle, and you have a perfectly nice scent—warm, smooth, and passably naturalistic as modern woody ambers go. I'd go so far as to say if you enjoy JHL, this is a "modern" take on the style that won't absolutely break the bank, just don't expect there to be any animalic funk in here like there is in that old war dog. A true academic chypre is that one, not a tug-of-war between chypre and fougère like the OG, or the mid-ground between modern woody-amber and old-school oriental, like this dang newfangled junk that has all the online space in an exasperated huff (regardless of opinion on it).

That's like putting social media influencer-turned MMA fighter Jake Paul into the ring with Bruce Lee himself. Top notes are Pink Pepper and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Atlas Cedar and Bulgarian Rose; base notes are Benzoin, Vanilla and Patchouli. That said, I absolutely agree that this stuff holds absolutely no candle whatsoever to the masterpiece (a word I use sparingly) that is the original Edmond Roudnitska. Rochas Moustache EDP by Rochas, Moustache was launched in 1948 by famed fashion house Rochas, a name synonymous with Parisian elegance and refinement.
