Rochas
Moustache EDP
“The budget fragrance that fragrance nerds keep quiet about.”
A 2018 EDP from Rochas — a rose-vanilla composition with pink pepper in the top and an Atlas cedar heart. Frequently compared to YSL Tuxedo in the same rose-vanilla designer lane. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
