The Bad Boys of Paris
With Les Mauvais Garçons Prin Lomros portrays the "bad" boys of Paris. The much sung about and described groups of young men who stand up for each other and are the probably most modern image of the rebels of our days.

Les Mauvais Garçons has the slightly dusty green aura of the metropolis on the banks of the river Seine. And yet also something neat and tidy. The combination of tea and iris gives me the impression of fine suede jacket and boots. Very noble and unbelievably harmonious to the Fougeré theme. These bright aspects are perfectly supported by the petitgrain.

And over all: that wonderful hay chord. With this accent in his fragrances Prin has already completely enchanted me before (e.g. Gheorghe, Burning Ben). It always reminds me of the scent of skin that was exposed to a lot of fresh air and the sun. Enticing and somehow very intimate and sexy.

Especially the lavender in Fougerés always has the classic touch to me and often smells very settled and mature. Less playful. Less rebellious.

Prin Lomros dedicates an aromatic musk fougeré to Les Mauvais Garçons, with dimmed lavender, creating an identity in the fragrance. And arranges a stage for the "bad" boys of Paris. To tell their story.

The Bad Boys from the Country
"Les Mauvais Garcons" has unfortunately been discontinued. Therefore, I seized the opportunity at the Souk and bought it blind. Prin Lomros, with his various brands that cater to a very niche market, receives attention here from a small circle of people. His creations are often quite demanding, frequently heavily laden with an incredible number of fragrance notes. Often with a distinctly animalistic nature, or at least a noticeable undertone.
Strangers Parfumerie is the more affordable of his brands and offers some fragrances that are not overwhelming but still very special.

"Les Mauvais Garcons" is one of them.
It was inspired by the bad boys of Paris in the 1950s.
I agree with the 1950s reference, but due to the oak moss (which is very finely and gently incorporated), a metropolis like Paris does not come to mind. Rather, it paints a rural picture that the scent wants to convey.

The opening of the fragrance is hay. Fragrant, dry hay, interspersed with flowers and herbs, releasing its soft scent into the warm evening air. In the distance, lavender fields waft their scent over. The lavender scent is well perceivable without being too strong. You sit on a small bench, and your tobacco pouch lies open.
The scent of oak moss envelops your chest, where you had applied a few drops of your cologne in the morning. You close your eyes, breathe deeply, carefree, free...

The overall impression of the fragrance becomes incredibly creamy, almost in a foamy way. Oak moss should not be off-putting here; it is so gently incorporated that it can also be worn by young men.
The other notes play only a background role.
Even though I appreciate this scent very much, it does not work on me, and so it leaves me again today. However, it is definitely worth trying Prin Lomros's fragrances; for summer, I recommend the more popular "Oliver" here in the forum.

In the eighties
bad boys wore shoulder pads
smelled of classic Fougères
and dreamed of great freedom.

I love greens! Subtly spicy, aromatic, gently fresh with an underlying sweetness in the finish. It's wearable, yet unique.

Rugged tea, starts off slightly reminiscent of Lonestar Memories, but then shifts more towards spicy-bitter tea with tobacco. Hay is also present.

The Gauloises haven't been smoked yet, the boys are frolicking in the hay. They're quoting classics but keep bursting into laughter.

A very consistent scent: green, resinous, herbal, sharp, bitter, fresh, mineral, woody: many associations with nature, strict, serious.
