Moustache Eau de Toilette

I happened upon a bottle of this gem. My bottle must be produced in the 80's - it has that 80's powerhouse vibe prevalent with powerhouses of the time, scents like Giorgio Beverly Hills, Bijan, Ceasar's Palace, Polo (you get my drift) It's an aromatic fougere type. Lavender, basil and citruses open the fragrance. Florals develop at the 30 minute mark. The drydown has amber, musk, vanilla, tonka and oakmoss. This fragrance reminds me of vintage Monsieur de Chanel, Dunhill for Men (also vintage) and Roger and Gallet's Open. If you have smelt any of the frags I mentioned, then you'd have a rough idea of what this perfume smells like. Incidentally, Moustache is long lasting. A spray could last 3 to 4 hours on my skin. 8/10.

No thanks, Rochas. Citrus, pine, civet, moss. I think I just need to say no to vintage chypres from now on. I don't like you, vintage chypres. I give up. Some say Rochas Moustache is reminiscent of Eau Sauvage and I can see this. Of course, I don't like Eau Sauvage, either. Too much civet, too old-fashioned (though if you want to evoke this era, there you go). I have my own strategies for smelling faintly of urine, thanks ever so, Rochas. I suppose someone could pull it off with some attitude and possibly some layering, maybe the right kind of hat ...admittedly it smells better to me on paper. It's not very strong or lasting on me and the drydown is quite tame, so there is a mercy.
