Modern approach on classic theme - drydown unenthusiastic

If you enjoy the classic aromatic and herbal composition with a healthy dollop of synthetics (aldehydes and ISO E SUPER) then you'll enjoy M.O.U.S.S.E.

It starts out fizzy from the aldehydes and citrus.

Soon after that the clove becomes more prominent alongside the aldehydes. This accord sits on a slightly bitter base of moss and what feels like the ISO E SUPER waiting to burst forward.

Much later on its when, I feel, the composition looses its thrust and dwindles down into a tandem of lavender and ISO E SUPER.

Since this is Oliver's first perfume, I can see the need to further tweak the drydown.

Otherwise it's a highly modern take on a classic genre - herbal aromatic.

"a healthy dollop of synthetics"--LOL. Probably not for me.
