Mouche
Fragrance notes
Character
Mouche opens with a bright mix of peach, apricot, lemon, and bergamot. Narcissus adds a slightly bitter, green edge to the fruit. The start feels sunny and immediate, leaning into the citrus and stone fruit without hesitation.
The heart grows heavier and more complex. Plum and honey bring a thick sweetness, while rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and sweet pea layer floral tones throughout. Carnation and cloves introduce a warm spice, and heliotrope softens the blend with a mild almond-like powder.
The base is deep and resinous. Opoponax, benzoin, and vanilla create a rich amber foundation. Oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, and orris add earthy and woody textures, while leather, musk, sandalwood, and ambergris give the drydown a smooth, slightly animalic finish.
This fragrance suits bright morning hours and clear daytime settings. It feels classic and composed, moving from vivid fruit to a dense floral heart and settling into a warm, balsamic base. The overall character is sweet, woody, amber, and powdery.
