What does Mousse Arashiyama smell like?

It opens with bergamot, frankincense and mastic absolute, where citrus brightness meets a dry, resinous edge. In the heart, aquatic notes and fig bring a soft, fruity and watery feel. The base of Virginia cedar, oakmoss and vetiver settles it onto a woody, mossy ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads evenly between masculine and feminine. Olfactive Studio Autoportrait and Parfums de Marly Sedley have a close profile.
