To put the Tuxedo comparison's to bed
Rochas Moustache EDP vs YSL Tuxedo (or the other way around)
Main similarities
- They share the same vanilla vibe
- Both are orientals at their core
- Both have the same cakey vibe

Main differences
- Tuxedo opens fresh and green (particularly violet and bergamot, the coriander is inserted/playing along with the black pepper).
- Tuxedo's violet note gives off an acidic vibe mainly due the rose I believe (the rose in itself is hard to detect; it fades away rather quickly)
- Tuxedo's dry down is a warm patchouli with vanilla in particular
- Tuxedo has a salty vibe from the ambergris (fades away when the scent settles down)

- Moustache doesn't start off green (doesn't have green top notes either) but it does open fresh (mandarine, no bergamot like Tuxedo)
- Cedar is quite prominent in Moustache; Tuxedo on the other hand has no woody vibe (has no woods listed at all)
- Moustache is warmer than Tuxedo, because Moustache is not patchouli heavy (which can smell green and earthy)
- Moustache is less pungent than Tuxedo (same reason)
- Would classify Moustache as a warm spicy and Tuxedo as fresh spicy

Overall performance
- Tuxedo has a more powerful sillage and projection. Also performs longer and better.
- Moustache is a softer scent that sits closer to the skin fairly quickly

Design
- In this regard I prefer the bottle of Tuxedo. Personally I dont like the design of Moustache. Looks kind off out dated

Price
- Moustache (no further explanation needed)

Which one would I choose?
- Moustache
- I like my patchouli's to be pungent, green and powerfull (Psychedelique style), so personally Tuxedo wouldn't fit in my collection.
- The price difference is also too steep for my liking

Will this be the last time a cheap alternative can/will be able to dethrone the more expensive, luxurious trendsetter? Only time will tell...

How is it that no one is pointing out the similarities to Toy Boy?
A not so distant cousin of Moschino's famous Toy Boy, just a slightly subdued rose note compared to the playful black bear, but just as resinous, definitely unisex, sexy ,cozy and smells absolutely divine.

Fantastic value for money, this honestly smells like a $150+ fragrance, and people would gladly pay, it is that good.

Sexy classy scent!
I´ve never smelled Tuxedo so I can´t speak about similarities. For me, this juice is almost niche. If we grab this juice and drop it on a 200 euros bottle of a niche fragrance, I can see a lot of people saying its well worth the money. Longevity is good and the projection is moderate to low. Not a big deal when my bottle of 125ml cost me 20 euros. Yap, It was that cheap. It doesn't hurt my wallet when I have to reapply it. Awesome job, Rochas. This is a winner, for sure.

Very nice, masculine vanilla scent
I approached Moustache EdP with some trepidation. Was it going to be another sweet ooey gooey vanilla syrup? The answer is NO. It's a really nice, masculine vanilla fragrance but done in such a good way that you don't smell like you took a shower in vanilla extract or smeared vanilla cake batter over yourself. The sweetness is just right, not over done and the same with the other notes which complement the vanilla to make a cohesive fragrance. Didn't seem to evolve over its life - nice vanilla from start to finish. Rose did not stick out either

Longevity was quite good for me. Got about 10 hours out of it with a still noticeable skin scent at the end. Projection was moderate. Moustache EdP would be a very easy reach and versatile fragrance for any time of the day, any day of the year except perhaps for very hot summer days. Given its price, Moustache EdP is a very good value too.

Have never tried Tuxedo, so can't comment on how similar it is to Moustache.

UPDATE: See my review of Turathi Brown for a comparison of the two.

A very nice inexpensive perfume - recommended for anyone starting a collection
Though my preference is for the private collections from well-known designer brands, I also have a soft spot for good cheap perfumes. Rochas Moustache has been reviewed well enough by Parfumo users for me to spend $26 on it. This review is based on a full bottle I bought from Jomashop. This is the first time I encounter a fragrance from the perfumer, Nathalie Gracia-Cetto.

Moustache opens with mandarin orange and pink pepper. This spicy citrus is quickly replaced by the heart notes of cedar, rose, patchouli and benzoin. Patchouli and benzoin are listed as the base notes, but I smell it early in the development of this perfume. These four heart notes produce a very nice perfume, performing at a level higher than expected from its cost. The base notes are same as the heart notes, though patchouli and benzoin stay a little longer as expected. Though it is generally considered a men’s perfume, I think it is unisex, and I invite women to try it. Then again, I consider all perfumes to be unisex.

The performance of moustache is very good. I can smell the heart notes for about 4-6 hours easily, and the base notes for a few more hours. The sillage is modest, though perfectly within a respectable range. Used in smaller doses, it can work fine as an office perfume.

Moustache demands an unconditional recommendation for the value it offers. It is not a classic work of art that transcends boundaries, but that is a minor compromise for the great value it offers. This one definitely belongs to my list of top-ten inexpensive perfumes.
