Mousse

I love cloves in perfumery more so than in cuisines. To me the clove note has a crisp, spicy and airy quality that always uplifts oriental compositions that would otherwise be too heavy and dauntingly formal. Here in Mousse Oliver showcases that exact quality on a very naked base of iso e super decorated with lavender, moss, and a tinge of bergamot, as opposed to the woody/ambery/vanillic base that many classic orientals (Coco, Opium) possess. Think about placing a luxurious vermeil on an industrial-style glass and metal coffee table versus on an antique, thick wooden table, the same vermeil evokes very different feelings. I personally love Mousse because of its originality and wearability. This is definitely a quirky perfume, and will challenge one on how they view art demonstrated via modern perfumery.

Surprising! Ultra-modern unique and unusual. It comes with a strong opening of Iso-super and cloves, a union never felt but which is oddly and wonderfully beautiful!! Is sophisticated and charismatic, this scent i really like, and I have to say it's great! Unique! Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 8./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

MOUSSE is one of those "like skin, but better" scents. It does get a bit similar to some creations from Escentric Molecules, but only after an hour. The first part of MOUSSE is very gourmand, I totally feel the resemblance to mulled wine - it is rather heavy on clove + with ISO E it feels almost "nutty", nevertheless it is very warm/sweet, but also very spicy and dry. Completely unisex at this point and all trough it's development. The dry down of MOUSSE is a beautiful skin-like scent, the most dominant notes for me is clove (but very much more well behaved than at the start) and dry sandalwood with a clean lavender lingering around. I was very impressed with MOUSSE, you will like it if you enjoy warm skin scents and tolerate big loads of clove. Even though it is pricey (95 EUR for 50ml) I think it is well worth the money. Staying power is more than good - 7 hours with no problems and still going strong.

93) Winter in the bottle Oh que j'aime cette impression de grand espace enneigé. Tous les éléments sont réunis pour ça, le santal et l'IsoE qui donne une grande présence diffusante au clou de girofle. Au coeur du parfum la mousse et une pointe de lavande vous tiennent la main pour continuer cette ballade hivernale en forêt. L'association de l'hyper fraicheur avec les notes vertes a vraiment un côté enchanteur. Pouvoir être au chaud et respirer l'hiver en bouteille. Oh I love this feeling of great snowy space. All the elements are there for it, sandalwood and IsoE Super which gives great presence diffusing clove. At the heart of the fragrance oakmoss and a touch of lavender hand-holding you to continue this winter walk in the woods. The combination of super fresh with green notes have really an enchanting side. Be warm in and breathe winter in the bottle.

this sharp unorthodox fragrance exemplifies the creativity of oliver. eccentric clove/moss. not sure if this is still available in the original formulation, but worth looking forward if an unusual scent is wanted.
