Chypre for gothys
For me, Chypre Mousse starts with a strong mushroom-like note, plus a wild jumble of herbs, which all come across as rather crunchy and bitter. I can't really make out any of the herbal notes, they rather give the impression of an overgrown herb garden in a dilapidated estate. I also smell something slightly musty, like wet leaves on the compost or something similar.
Underneath is a fragrance that I know best from a chestnut blossom honey from Italy - minimally sweet, then slightly bitter, very aromatic and somewhat medicinal. Maybe a touch of roasted chestnut. With me nothing becomes balsamic, only green and mossy. If it would be a color, the perfume would be green-brown with silvery speckles.
The durability is more than fabulous, you already have to brush and soap on it to get rid of the scent.
The fragrance can certainly be worn by men and women, in spring and autumn it suits me especially well. But I can't wear it often, because I have to be in the mood for it, otherwise the fragrance will carry me and not the other way round. Nevertheless, for lovers of tart chypre it is definitely worth testing.
Funnily enough, in an American perfume forum, chypre mousse is also affectionately called "Eau de Crypt" (a suitable scent for Morticia Adams?), but that actually hits the nail on the head.

Chypre with tropical feeling
The fragrance begins green and fresh with a hint of lime, but it is also a bit herbaceous, probably basil. In time there are some more white flowers, but the floweriness is rather weaker, but I can smell the ylang relatively clearly, the jasmine rather less. But it remains relatively unsweet and not very bulky, fortunately, because with big white florals I don't get along so well.
The dry green ground note of oak wood is slightly softened by a little sandalwood and benzoin, but the scent never becomes sweet. A tiny bit it reminds me of Private Collection, from which I have a vintage mini, but with a Thai touch and more floral than green.

Rogue Perfumery states on his page that the percentages of oak moss are not IFRA-compliant and are used in significantly higher concentrations. So if you're looking for something like this, you'll find it here.
A very successful blind purchase for me.

No breath of nothingness
After reading some comments and blog reviews, I definitely felt that this could be a fragrance for me - I like to have something animal in the base note as well, but it shouldn't be too overwhelming. After all, I want to be able to wear the perfume to work without bothering my patients.
L´Air de Rien actually begins extremely musty, which is probably due to the oak moss. The Nerolinote also doesn't look fresh at all, but dusty, as if you had forgotten the whole thing in an old handbag or box and pulled it out again years later.
The first hour of the session, it looks like a stale oriental perfume and actually has a certain charisma. At this stage, my boyfriend's pretty up his nose.
After the initial phase, however, the fragrance becomes clearly more cuddly, still slightly musty and slightly powdery. Somehow has something of the smell of the old favourite aunt, who used to be a hot sweeper. In addition, there is a slightly unwashed musk note, as if one smells on the scalp of one's dearest, who has taken a shower in the morning but has just completed a working day. Not really sweaty, but also not fresh...
All in all a really unconventional fragrance, which I personally think is really great. Has quite stuff to the signature smell

Black tea?
As a passionate tea drinker I am always interested in tea scents. So far I have only tested the Camelia chinois by Maitre Parfumeur and earlier a few Bvlgaris.
The fragrance comes in a really pretty bottle printed with cute, colorful elephants, which I like well.
When sprayed on, a distinct lemon note first appears, just like fresh lemon juice. Then comes a classic tea scent, black tea, unscented. Most likely really like fine Assam, no dark tea, no fine Darjeeling. The lemon flies away after a while, the black tea remains dominant, at the end a slightly mild note in the base is added. After sandalwood is contained in the data, I guess I guess on it.
All in all : with the scent you get exactly what it says on it - fresh Assam with lemon. I can imagine it as a great refreshment in summer, for daytime in the office or during leisure time. Definitely nothing for the evening.
Shelf life rather moderate, but after-spraying is also fun....

Christmas
I kindly got a sample of this perfume (thanks to Hannah!). A recent filling of Wazamba. serves as a countercheck
When spraying on the lute, incense begins, rather dark, slightly ecclesiastical. In addition, a fine pine forest note, must probably be the pine, but probably rather slightly coked pine needles. In addition a sweetish dry fruit undertone, which gives the whole a rather tasty, but not gourmand note. For me a rather calm, slightly meditative winter scent. The shelf life is good, after eight hours you can still smell it.

The Wazamba, sprayed at the same time for comparison, starts similarly with incense, but with more emphasis on smoke than on consecration. In addition a touch of apple, almost cider-like, then also a touch of dried fruit. Wazamba remains much drier, less sweet, a little more appley and slightly smokier over the course
But if you can't find the Lutens anymore, you should try Wazamba against them. Durability here similarly good.
