Moschino Pour Homme

The first Moschino fragrance (and the best, frankly) was launched in 1990 and discontinued somewhere in the 00's. This is an example of a good fragrance that came pretty later in the party. At 1990, we already had the big wave of brutal macho leather-animalic scents that became popular among every guy. Kouros, Antaeus, Jules, etc... and the classics Cuir de Russie, Knize ten, etc... we're a bit dated too. At that time, freshness was the key and the "soup de jour". Cool Water (1988), New West (1988) or even Fahrenheit (1988) with its fresh violet leaf were great successes and Moschino wanted to enter in the perfume world. They could chose a fresh scent or citrusy one, or even a classic fougère but they opted to make something more bold and, perhaps, dated. Allegedly created by Françoise Caron, this is basically a leather chypre scent with some spicy woods and creamy balsamics. Opens very bitter, fresh and green but with a woody sweetness underneath. As it dries down, the labdanum and styrax help intensify the leather creaminess and the scent became more rounded, a bit sweet and still, somehow, bitter. The leather here is not like a new car leather (Tuscan Leather, Ombré Leather, Etc...) neither a classical floral one (Knize Ten, for example). It's more something between the creamy greeness of BelAmi (1986) and the rich bitter leather accord of Antaeus (1981). Very rich and multilayered, this masculine combines every bit of leather chypre compositions in the past and make it, somehow, italian. Rounded, sexy, fresh and relaxed. But it came out later in the game and no one cared. It would had been a real classic if it came out 10 years earlier. The longevity is not beast mode, rather average but it works. It gives this relaxed Italian vibe which I think it's brilliant. 6-8h with moderate projection. If you overspray it, it would last a bit more. I think this is one of those that needs more sprays to fully enjoy it. The good news here is that you can find pretty good deals on this one. Because it not a very well known fragrance, the prices are quite decent actually. I recommend it as a piece of history, a relaxed version of BelAmi or just for the bottle that looks awesome, by the way. I have the Vice-versa version from 1990 (pre barcode) with Spray and Splash mechanism and it looks great! Moschino hasn't many masculine fragrances and, apart from this, I really like Uomo? EAU DE TOILETTE but the rest is very average, including the more recent Toy Boy . So, do yourself a favor and, if you like leathers and chypres, try to find a bottle of this gem and enjoy it.

moschino pour homme is something special from the presentation to the smell. niche quality here, great blend of bergamot, sage, oakmoss, a bit of cinnamon, patchuli and, most of all, leather. this fragrance is extremely well done, it reminds me an elegant shop of arty stuffs. ok it's not the most modern edt on the planet, but a well dressed man over 35-40 can wear it easily. i agree with the comparison between this and hermes bel ami: moschino is less foresty and more leathery than bel ami, both are not too serious, i consider them two gentlemen, one italian one french, sitting in an elegant bar talking about art, psychology and...women! overall, moschino is not so versatile because it's a bit dated and not for everyone but the qualityand the execution are a work of art. seasons: fall and winter. situations: theater like La Scala, museums, meetings. the performance is just good and im ok with this because the notes are quite masculine and with a stronger projection it would have been a bit disturbing for the people next to you. so in this case moderate is better. profumo di altri tempi, eseguito in modo eccellente. non facile da apprezzare, le note principali sono muschio di quercia, un bergamotto in entrata, patchuli e soprattutto cuoio. non è moderno ma è tremendamente ben fatto. avendo delle note piuttosto forti e mascoline, la performance moderata di questo profumo è ben accolta. scent-9 long-7 sillage-7 versatility-6,5 bottle-8,5 uniqueness-9 compliment factor-6,5 rebuy?yes my vote: 9 in one word-niche alternative- hermes bel ami

A balsamic leather that you can feel sharpness of carnation and a sweet cinnamon in it. Also Lavender makes it soapy and there are some aromatic notes certainly. Furthere the scent will be earthy with oakmoss. Its leather smells like oil for me and l think it is a classic leather however it launched in 1990. This perfume is rare in perfume stores but if you love it and can't find, you can taste "Hermes Bel Ami" or even "Puredistance M" insted of that. I think they can be good replaces. . یه کار چرمی نسبتا شیرین و بالزامیک که تیزی ادویه ای و آشنای میخک و شیرینی دارچین در اون به خوبی حس میشه و رایحه صابونی و گیاهی ناشی از وجود اسطخودوس و نت های آروماتیک در ترکیب مشهود و قابل توجهه. البته خزه بلوط اینجا هم نقشش رو در ایجاد حس خاکی زمینی خوب ایفا میکنه. . جنس چرمش کلاسیک و کمی نفتی طوره و مجموعا حس تیز ادویه ای، روایح آروماتیک و صابونی، خزه بلوط خاکی و مهمتر از همه یک شیرینی نارگیلی دارچینی از آغاز تا پایان همراهیش میکنن. رایحه ای نیست که بشه مدرن و امروزی قلمدادش کرد اما اونقدرها هم پیر و کهنه نیست. میشه گفت در مرز بین کلاسیک و مدرن قدم برمیداره اما تمایلش به سمت کلاسیک بیشتره. . بعید میدونم بشه این عطرو به راحتی پیدا کرد اما اگر کسی دوستش داشته باشه میتونه بعنوان رایحه جایگزین کارایی مثل "بل آمی هرمس" یا حتی در نگاهی کلی تر "اِم پیور دیستنس" و "سرژف هوم" رو امتحان کنه. شاید بشه گفت این نسخه ی رام شده ی بل آمی هست که خشونت چرمش کمتره و مقداری رایحه صابونی آروماتیک بهش اضافه شده ...

Moschino Pour Homme by Moschino is a real masculine fragrance having a rich leathery/woodsy/spicy scent. Those who voted that the aroma of Bel Ami from Hermes is the same I would agree that it's accurate. I own both the vintage and current Bel Ami which I absolutely love it. I recently found a 50ml bottle and tested M.P.H.M on one wrist and sprayed Bel Ami on the other......the first hour you couldn't tell them apart but afterwards Moschino pour homme settles giving it a real "old school" aroma with more of a sweet/herbal fragrance which deserves a lot of credit. Longevity and Silage are both very high lasting well past 8hrs. Overall opinion, I definitely love M.P.H.M and I was so fortunate that I own both frag's. If you manage to find M.P.H.M and you love Bel Ami you won't regret buying it. Rating this fragrance is RICH AND MASCULINE...a five ★★★★★

I think it's a bit misleading to call this an oriental as it's definitely more a Leather. My favorite type of leather too - somewhat oily and petrol-like as in Bel Ami, Knize, Fahrenheit, Francesco Smalto, the original Trussardi Uomo,etc. (although a bit more subtle). It's a composed leather, not a literal replication, so don't be expecting a baseball glove. There isn't extra sweetness added, as in current leathers, but it has enough to keep it from seeming dry. Along with many others, I do find it very similar to original Bel Ami. Like in cooking, they both seem to stem from the same "mother sauce". To me, Bel Ami is actually more oriental than this. This is more herbal, more 'mediterranean'. If you have this and don't like it, I recommend you hold on to your bottle because eventually you'll come around. It's just too good.
