What does Moss Breches smell like?

The notes read as one whole: moss and patchouli give it an earthy, damp ground. Tuscan bergamot, Hungarian tarragon, Moroccan clary sage and Corsican rosemary bring out the herbal, green side. Beeswax absolute and honeycomb soften that sharpness and add an animalic, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evening and night out, though daily wear has its place too. Half of the voters call it masculine, yet it remains a unisex fragrance. Parfum d'Empire Fougère Bengale and Bijan Bijan Men (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
