Rogue Perfumery Mousse Illuminee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Manuel Cross. Mousse Illuminee opens with Oakmoss, Cypress, Bay Leaf, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Frankincense. Rogue Perfumery's Mousse Illuminee carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

About

It barges in with a sharp, almost mentholated blast of artemisia, cypress, and bay leaf, quickly settling into an intense, rich oakmoss and frankincense heart. Woody cedar underpins this verdant, earthy core, softened by subtle white floral and musk wisps. Expect an enduring green, soapy, and camphoric journey that harks back to classic powerhouses with a modern, natural edge.
