Mousse Illuminee it ain't

I really liked Mouse Illuminee so thought Absolue de Mousse would fall into place - maybe similar but stronger or a slight twist. Well, no, that's not what it is. It is significantly different. The opening was rather repulsive - in the air it was a weird kinda scent that was hard to describe, however nose to skin took on a somewhat fishy smell. As it dried down, the scent improved with nose to skin becoming more pine-y while in the air it became a strange blend of resin and musty earth. Overall, did not care for it.

Performance was good with excellent longevity and slightly above average projection. I'll pass on this one.

From what did I do to heavenly old school forest floor vibes.

Let me start by saying my nose is so unsophisticated you should stop reading now. That said I am wearing Absolue De Mousse for the first time right now. The initial spray had me regretting my purchase and really my spraying it on my arm. To me the first thing I smell is the scent of orange blossom perfume sold in old Florida citrus stands and tourist stops. This is not the scent of real orange blossoms in the air (driving through a blooming orange grove at night is one of the most magical smells you can experience), it is the orange blossom and soap maybe with rose smell of these inexpensive perfumes. To me always kind of old lady. Thankfully this was gone in about five minutes and slowly so was the soapiness.

Again I don't know what I am talking about but the slightly and I mean slightly floral and very green resinous with a hint of leather this settles into around the thirty minute mark is totally different than anything I have smelled in the last twenty five years. To me it almost has a pine sent to it or at least the same type of dry down that is in the family of the original Polo. Yes, I am old enough to have worn that back in the 80's and I almost exclusively did! It is not a copy of it but again the green, resinous and slight hint of leather speaks out to me in the same way.

This stuff is powerful too. I sprayed a little on the inside of an elbow and then on the opposite wrist . . . when I realized how the dry down was going I sprayed once on my chest. I have no idea the sillage or projection but it is all I can smell the dry down easily hours later. Glorious!

If you enjoy that deep resinous and wet scent of a forest floor give this one a try as I don't think you will be disappointed.

This One Night

Six years after the spectacular venture of "Mousse Illuminée | Rogue," Manuel Cross offers a new chapter in the mossy saga.
Its fundamental tone of "Forbidden, you can go to hell" is now shouted through the flowers.

Not an easy fare and certainly not quiet. Nevertheless, a successful quirky reinterpretation of the past, which lays the best foundations for what’s to come.

Sizzle!

Hold on tight, there’s no skimping here, no, it’s all about moss from the very start!

Orange blossom amidst myrrh as a greeting resembles the lightning storm of career-driven paparazzi outside the Limelight in New York in the mid-1980s.
An uncomfortable tension between rather harsh resin and slightly sour white flowers. The orange blossom has aseptic tones.
Acid smiles, beautiful partygoers amongst urban decay.
Vivien Vee sweetly croons her Eve of Destruction.
It feels good to be on the fun side of things.

Suddenly, a bubble of hedonistic decadence is blown perfectly arrogantly with the spikenard into the camera, just enough to still see the tip of the nose.
And what a high-quality spikenard oil it is!
It soothes warmly fruity and spicy, creating epochal coolness.
The light respects the contours, a shrug, the hair on the forehead covers the right eye.
Ephemeral beauty.
A hint of mint, cinnamon plays with the temperature poles.
The night belongs to us!

Slowly, the herbaceous artemisia pushes past the initial flowers.
In interplay with the untamed moss and a warm pinch of nutmeg, that accord is evoked, which characterized notable men’s fragrances for decades.
Here, however, the flowers dance around the soapy herbaceousness and force neon-colored contours in the darkness of the dance floor.
Vicious Pink struggles with her school French to the housy Cccan’t You See.

This demanding and sour freshness makes the oak moss crunchier, even mentholated.

It will take quite some time before the second accord presents its opulent elegance.

A leathery rose appears in the incense fog.
But the mossy framework tolerates no solos; it must fit in.

Fascinating how effortlessly labdanum and rose glide in a smoky manner, almost silently sublime.
Like those urban gladiators fighting for a glimpse of Central Park from the living room.
Quiet voices, feared weapons.

Hours later, the fragrance bids farewell with a contrasting moss, lovingly battered by flowers.
But it has one little trick left up its sleeve.
The labdanum plays the role of a chauffeur, taking the rose home and preparing the bedroom for the clary sage.

A mossy herbal kiss whispers beauty into the ear and sends physical excitement down the spine.

Slightly animalistic, the sheets crave passionate disorder until dawn.

What a night!

My initial rating of the fragrance is very high; it could even improve over time.

But a small and important warning: the scent of oak moss is not to everyone’s taste, so I strongly advise testing the fragrance before purchasing.

What fascinates me the most are the quotes from a rather eventful and contrasting time.
The leathery rose accord particularly reminds me of "Perry Ellis for Men (1985) (Cologne) | Perry Ellis."
And as I assess Manuel Cross, he likely had something similar in mind while creating the fragrance.

Once again, splendidly done, dear Manuel.
Your persistence and consistency pay off.

Keep it up!
