by Rochas
Moustache Eau de Parfum by Rochas is a warm, refined masculine fragrance that opens with a bright, spicy blend of mandarin and pink pepper, followed by a smooth wave of sweet vanilla, rose, and soft woody notes. The harmony of sweet vanila, dry-spicy cedár, and a hint of smoky benzoin creates a balanced, gentle warmth that lingers with a quiet elegance. It suits mature tastes—particularly those desire a non-invasive, unapologetically masculine scent with depth. The scent marries the classic character of older fragrance icons with modern refinement, echoing flavors primarily of YSL Tuxedo but with less boldness and slightly improved base cohesion. It performs best during cooler seasons—autumn, winter, and early spring—where its quiet, harmonious warmth is most enjoyable. The scent is well-constructed, linearity is a key characteristic, not evolving dramatically, but remaining pleasant, intimate, and comfortably balanced for daily wear. While not overly projective, it manages a moderate reach in the first few hours. On clothing, it can remain detectable for more than a day, contributing a subtle but persistent presence. The bottle is heavy, tactile, and memorable, aligning with the scent's confident, classic character. Several users note the scent evolves over time, especially on skin, where it becomes more coat-like—meeting perception in some as a mature, trusted scent with a timid but genuine presence.
