What does Chypre Mousse (2013) smell like?

It opens with corn mint, wild fennel and green shoot, then turns cool and leafy in the heart with oakmoss, galbanum and violet leaf. The base sets down an earthy, resinous floor of labdanum, humus, mushrooms and vetiver, while roasted chestnut and leather deepen its dry, spicy character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it is chosen mostly for leisure and evening wear. It leans masculine, with a strong classic feel. Santi Burgas Primal Waters and Puig Vetiver de Puig have a close profile.
