    Mousse Illuminée is a delightful anachronism. It smells manly in the best possible way – soapy, bright, and almost cleansing in its bitterness, a cornucopia of camphoraceous green notes such as cypress, laurel, and artemisia stuffed into a cedar chest, aromatizing it from the inside out. Fougères used to smell like this, once upon a time, we remember. Now, shorn of any vanilla or sweetness, Mouse Illuminée returns the fougère to its original form, stripping it back until we are left with a powerful and invigorating ‘forest fern’ accord that is unabashedly masculine. The deeply green atmosphere created by Mousse Illuminée revolves around a beautiful treemoss absolute from Robertet, but it is by no means the sole player. In particular, the minty laurel and camphoraceous aspects of the cypress and artemisia stand out, framed by an aquiline frankincense note that smells lightly smoky, but not burnt or severe. Best of all, there’s no softening or fussiness towards the middle - a muscular musk simply carries the greenery on its broad shoulders to its natural conclusion.

     

    Notes:

    treemoss, frankincense, green cypress, artemisia, laurel, cedar, white floral notes, white musk

    Don’t know how he does it?

    So far there hasn’t been a rogue fragrance I haven’t liked. I keep coming back to this fragrance just like I did with chypre Siam. No citrus is present which makes me like it more(strongly considering a bottle for next spring/summer)

    Vintage aristocracy

    Although Mousse Illuminée has a vintage vibe it does not smell as dated as Ralph Lauren's Original Polo, which it is often compared to. Excellently executed and extremely green, mossy and fern-like, MI takes you to a soothing, silent glade in a forest where wood nymphs dance and sprinkle you with magic dust luring you into a reverie. A discreet camphorous note gives you a glimpse into a noble château…The price is high, but this is niche quality and quite aristocratic.

    Creamy fougere

    Classic fougere, but with a strong almost lactonic component.

    More a perfume than a 'man's' cologne

    Bottom line: There are men who like to smell like a man with a real nice masculine cologne. And then there are males that want to smell more like a woman. Ok, to each their own.... If you're in the former, stay away from this junk. If you are in the latter, then this "fragrance" is for you.

    Lovely and mossy

    This is a great green fragrance. I really think I'll get a full bottle. It's like cosmair polo but more playful.
