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 gentle whisper rather than a shout, perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance and subtle greenery. Don't expect a dense forest; think dewy undergrowth after a rain shower. A beautiful, albeit discreet, aromatic experience.
