Moustache Original 1949 Rochas 2018

G.F. Trumper released a fragrance 82 years earlier that was almost identical to Wild Fern. It had the same masculine, woodsy oakmoss note, but had much more musk, too much I think. It had something almost fairy-tale like, deeply reminiscent of dark woods, but also shallow green meadows and valleys - of course looking out of the aristocratic monocle - but also slightly overpowering (the musk). Green and lots of musk is a brand in itself. With the best will in the world, I can hardly imagine that E. R. did not know this fragrance, although I would never accuse the master of having made copies. Everyone has always been inspired by everything and everyone. Hypothetically, if he had the idea of making this fragrance a little less dreamy British dandy (the country dandy) and instead a little more sparkling, toning and Mediterranean, then the calculation would have been 100% correct. He has managed to transport this fragrance to his homeland, so to speak, and to give it his personal and therefore also original French stamp. Yes, yes, E.R. you little rascal, now I have found out about you ... Pardon me, master, I became impertinent.
