Don't think I've ever smelled this, I'd love to 🐏🦆

@@RamseytheRam 😮😮😮😮😮
Been trying to find this for awhile now. Great review.
Happy hunting... these OG Tom Fords especially the ones that only lasted a few years b4 they got Discontinued are straight 🦄
Moss Breches was an instant favorite the first time i tried it around 2012. It was already discontinued back then and wasn’t easy to find but still accessible. Such a wonderful honeyed patchouli moss scent. Great take on it Ramsey!
Wow ... hard go find even 12 years ago... fudge
If anyone is interested in adding this scent profile to their collection, Montagne Parfums has an excellent 'inspired by' called Moss Beaches.
Moss biatches should be the next inspired by clone lol
I am wearing a new frag this morning thats reminding me of Moss Breches.
Acqua di Parma re released Cypress of Tuscany. Cipressso di Tuscana.
Moss and patchouli, with sage and basil, cypress and pine.
I jusr put it as signature for Summer. A great value as well.
Interesting.... thanks for watching & sharing 🍻
Oh boy I got this one. Can't wait to hear this . The mushroomy base of this is like nothing else
I don't get mushrooms 🍄 but definitely earthy into the dry down
Unfortunately I have not smelled this one but it sounds glamorous! Oakmoss is something else mate it just makes any comparison so much better imo
It makes it feel 3D .... IFRA and their stupid studies that make no damn sense
Great review Ram👍 Would like to hear your take on London and Urban Musk 👌
Unfortunately I don't own either... maybe one day I will get to sniff em 🐽
Oakmoss is my favorite note of all the notes out there!!! Thank god I am lucky enough to live in the same era with Manuel Kross...
I have the 250ml bottle bought in 2010 with the fragrance somewhere in the middle and if I remember correctly i got it for around 450 euros from the airport in Zurich!
Is my most precious perfume in my collection, I keep it cold in the fridge, in its box and airtight with quadruple membrane film 😂i know i sound crazy because perfumes suppose to give us joy in life but sometimes being a Gollum brings joy too 😛
I wonder if Chypré Suprême from The Dua Brand is close enough as they say!
Don't mess with the clones... especially if you have 250 ml of the OG!
If it still exist in Zürich, I'll find it.
@@dusanninic5372 there is no way to find a brand new bottle there after 14 years, when i bought it was still available in the European market!
Keep up the good work, this was a great video- next in the Tom Ford line a review of Bois Rouge and Japon Noir would be brilliant.
Those are two that unfortunately I don't have but I would love to own those unicorns one day 🦄
@@RamseytheRam Same here, Bois Rogue being impossible to find.
I have about 10ml of this left from my partial bottle that I cherish. One of the finest Tom Fords, if not the finest.
Agreed! Cherish that 10ml... that's like 300 bucks of juice right there lol
Great to hear your take on Moss Breches.
A lady Claudia from NY, sells decants of Areej and Tom Ford.
I finally got a 2 ml of Antiquity from her.
She gave me a free sample of Moss Breches on request.
I did really like it, as I'm enjoying great oakmoss frags more. Balenciaga, etc.
She is selling 3 ml for $59 on eBay and marcari.
Is Bortnikoff Moss cologne a good alternative?
No the Bortnikoff is totally different... I saw that lady ... 20 bucks a ml is just ...wow
Not even close to Bortnikoff!
Moss cologne was such a disappointment for me, almost feels like a scam for its price! It has a citrus opening with a beautiful heart but its base smells so cheap and feminine.
@@Dim_the_AthenianThanks.
I didn't know this! Every now and then Tom Ford amazes me, it's a shame it's discontinued, it looks delicious! Strange that almost no brand is now interested in the honey-patchouli combo, I would have expected a honey/patchouli/deer musk fragrance from Russian Adam.
Yes! That sounds amazing!
A true classic!! I have my decant and I enjoy it.
We are lucky to have a decant .. and I love rare hard to find fragrances 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam I'm gonna have to compare it to my Pavarotti for sure. But I was able to score a few vintage bottles of that Pierre Cardin. It is great smelling perfume, but it lasts 5 to 6 hours max on me. Im ok with it. Such a gentlemanly scent and profile.
Cheers Rams I’ve not sniffed this one but have Pavarotti and PC and Givanchi so I totally can imagine your fondness for this one. In truth so would I lol 😊. Hopefully ya had a blast yesterday and have another one today, why da hell not 😅🙏👍
Well you are spot on Bren I bet you would dig it and it would be right up Big John's alley
BTW I am off work today so I will enjoy it all I can 😆
@@RamseytheRam good stuff Rams enjoy your day buddy 👍
I've always wanted to try this. My buddy bought the DUA clone and sent me a decant. It'd atrocious. I don't trust that DUA is faithfully recreating these lost fragrances. I was also sent me the clone of Acier Aluminum, and that wasn't very close until you get to the far drydown, and then they are in the same area code, but still not very close. What are your thoughts about clones of vaulted/impossible fragrances to find? In my opinion, 9 times out of 10, they fall well short of the goal. I also think they might be unsafe because there is no oversight
I don't even bother with the clones anymore... it's not my thing anyways... someone called me "classist" once for avoiding the clones... I blocked their a**
🤣🤣🤣
@RamseytheRam I agree, I think it's unethical to outright copy someone's work. I used to think the only thing that I could get behind is bringing impossible to find fragrances back to life (like creed royal service but how can anyone be sure it's an accurate interpretation? Aside from that, it's a scummy business model.
you guys arent gonna like this....but i have a small amount of moss breches, and ive smelled the dua clone (forget the name). considering the dua is like 50 bucks or whatever....its actually not bad all things considered. i feel like the dua comes off a little more feminine, and obviously doesnt beat you over the head with quality like the real deal lol. jussssst sayin....
@@SeanHH1986 I haven't tried the original to compare it with the clone.
@@petbull7038 i will definetely say the real one is absolutely much better, but certain big parts of the original are there. you get that beeswax really heavy in the beginning, the benzoin and vanilla are there but it dries down kinda into pour monsieur by pierre cardin. i would never say its just as good or anything like that, but if you hate the dua i would definetely tell you dont spend $1000 on moss breches haha. im like ramsey at this point, no clones for me....but thats a months rent for a decant for moss breches, if you can even find it.
I had samples of Japon Noir, Purple Patchouli and Bois Rouge. Man i wish i sent them to you so you can try them, i really do. I couldnt believe when i got them, cause i dont think there are 3 fragrances that are harder to find...
They are damn near impossible... like I said before you are lucky if you even get to sniff them never mind own them lol
I smell this one two weeks ago and I agree it’s Tom ford finest.I try not to think about it because it’s impossible to find.
It is a true 🦄 would love a bottle for the collection one day
Thanks 4 watching & commenting 🍻
@@RamseytheRam some body post partial on Etsy for 3500 Canadian dollars 🥲
I think you’re spot on with the Pavoratti analogy. The way Tom Ford makes a hit is being minimal and pushing on those elements. Developing the aspect. This is like a stripped down Pavorat with less fruit and more of a caramel / hay dry down. Pretty linear. Have 10mls and enjoy it thoroughly but won’t be paying thousands for it. I have to say after watching this I appreciate the craft of the composition even more. Nicely done Ram
Wow that's like 300 dollars of juice you got there 🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy it Tripler 💪🐏
Duuuude I have (many), but the 8oz of the PC Pour Monsieur, my son calls it “the water tower cologne” and tries to steal it on the reg 😂. I’d love a bottle of Pavarotti someday soon; will pass on the Tom Ford-unless one appears-as I just don’t trust the performance as I have been burned by every one ;/.
The water tower bottle 🚿
I passed up a chance to buy a partial a while ago - I will regret this forever 😩
😂😂😂
Trust me I know the feeling
I was lucky enough to get 30ml of this.
That is lucky indeed... I would love 20 or 30 ml of this beauty ... thanks for watching & commenting 💪🐏
I'll sell you another 10ml of this whenever you're ready Ramsey.
I'd love to get my hands on it too if Ram doesn't want it!
@@onewontdo Good luck my friend.
Is the time ever not right for more Moss Breches?!
This is Awesome!!! 💚💚💚💚💚🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I would love a bottle one day❤️🫂
@@RamseytheRamsame! Love the comparison to Pavarotti! 👏👏👏❤️❤️
How is the performance of Luciano Pavarotti for you btw bc for me it only last 4-5 hours or so when I spray 15 ish times
Really? Mine lasts all day ... 8 hours or so
Bought a sealed pavarotti deodorant just now. Lets see what i get 😂.
🤣🤣🤣
Nothing mentioned about the unusual name for this fragrance? Nice review, although I think you owe it to your viewers to at least pronounce the name of the fragrance correctly. It’s pronounced , not . Being an American with no French does not really grant you a viable pass when devoting a post to a single fragrance, for a little googling can give you the (very simple) pronunciation. Up your nerd game slightly higher, my friend. Brèches is a village in the Loire Valley, but the word itself also means ‘breeches’, or, in other words, a type of trouser. So, is the name of the fragrance a nod to that region of France (doubtful), or is there some kind of cheeky innuendo having to do with men’s trousers and woodlands. (We all know Tom Ford’s occasional predilection for that kind of innuendo in his marketing.) The ‘PG-rated’, and perhaps most likely, interpretation of the name might be simply the fusion of the fragrance’s elements: ‘Moss,’ denoting the fragrance’s (proclaimed, at least) earthy and aromatic elements, and perhaps ‘Breches’ as a nod to men’s sartorial history, and thus to the history of men’s perfumery. (Breeches were sometimes crafted from leather in the 19thC, though leather is not a major player in MB. Some kind of honeyed vanilla is, rather.) Personally, I don’t find it to be brilliant. Its scarcity is its primary value. And do you not catch even a slight connection to Derby? Much more ‘moss’ there, of course.
I am a Texan ... It is my God given right to mispronounce French words 🇨🇱🐏
But thank you for the history and elocution lesson Brian
@@RamseytheRam Ha. But hey, no one’s expecting you to have the French proficiency of…name your favourite native French speaker…Renauld Salmon, let’s say? 😁 But I do think it’s worth your while to get a frag name in a feature post close to correct, proud Texan and all, and in this case you could have figured it out with a tiny bit more research-and I know you appreciate cultural history. 👍🏻 I’m happy to be a thorn in your side, er, I mean I’m happy to assist. For *someone* has got to keep your comment section from being unrelenting praise and thanks, riiiiight? 😉
Passed on 20mls a month back... feeling like a dumbass. Great review though, painting another lovely picture. 🙏
😂😂😂
Just out of curiosity how much did they want for 20ml??
@@RamseytheRam I think $120 or so. Not cheap, but considering 20ml will last a long time I'd go for it today.
1st 🍿
Let's go! 🎆
Suddenly I wanna bottle of Pavarotti... 😬 Might just get the 75 mL aftershave from Anooj. Inooj we trust. 🇨🇦 🫡
Can't go wrong with the great Anooj 👌
Anooj and Ram are the real NAFTA 😂
