Which Should You Buy?
Mousse Illuminee is a divisive beast: a powerful, unabashedly masculine green chypre that’s either a masterpiece of natural moss and invigorating aromatics or a blast of medicinal grape-soda and mothballs. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.
This one's a wild ride. Cape Wrath is a divisive, unapologetically niche scent that's either a bracing marine masterpiece or a repulsive dive into decaying seaweed. Definitely sample before committing, but if it clicks, prepare for pure coastal magic.
