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 is a divisive gem. Sung Homme is a beast of an old-school clean fragrance; a blast of hyper-masculine, soapy nostalgia that you'll either adore for its undeniable character or recoil from as dated. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a steal.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense, soapy character make it a bit much for intimate office or formal settings without very careful application. However, its clean, fresh profile makes it ideal for casual wear or after a workout, projecting a 'just showered' vibe for hours.
