Mauboussin Mauboussin in Red is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Mauboussin in Red opens with Red Apple, Bergamot, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Nectarine, Rose, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Ambroxan, and Praline. Mauboussin's Mauboussin in Red carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive bit of kit. Some rave about its fruity sweetness and budget-friendly charm, likening it to a wearable Baccarat Rouge 540. Others, though, can't get past what they see as an Ambroxan overload or a cheap, synthetic vibe.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

The strong, fruity-sweet profile leans more casual and date-night appropriate, with good projection that might be a bit much for a formal setting or close office quarters. While some found it long-lasting, others reported poor longevity, making it less reliable for all-day wear.

About

Opens with a juicy burst of blackcurrant and crisp red apple, sweetened by a hint of bergamot. The heart introduces a lush floral bouquet of rose and peony, brightened by succulent nectarine. It settles into a warm, gourmand base of praline, earthy woods, and a prominent, lingering ambroxan, adding a modern, airy sweetness that some love and others find overwhelming.
