I don’t smell anything harsh or metallic in this fragrance. The contrary, I would describe it beautiful, soft, elegant. I wear it for a lovely dinner with the misses. She loves it on me, I consider it unisex, I bet I would like it on her too.
I concur
Depends on the batch. I've experienced two totally different fragrances testing this one
lol exactly
It's perfect for autumn and winter. Kinda goes with these rainy winter days. :)
Got a 10ml sample of it last week. It smells simply elegant, sophisticated, rich and classy!
Yes agree love it! Don't get green at all?
I actually love Moustache so much I bought a backup bottle. I initially had a decant of Tuxedo which I love, but decided Moustache was close enough (for my undeveloped nose) that I would spend that money on something else.
It's pretty much the same. Its slightly.. less smooth but it's almost impossible to notice the difference in the air.
Paying 200€ extra for Tuxedo would be pretty idiotic if we're honest
@@stevenlang9849 exactly. I wouldn’t say my nose is untrained after owning around 200+ bottles and having tested around 400-500 fragrances and i have a decant of tuxedo (only a decant, because i decided not to buy it) and i own moustache and it’s literally as you say. Basically the same just tuxedo feeling a little more well rounded and even that not by much. Moustache is a true masterpiece and smells way higher quality than its priced. Im very Surprised aaron hates it this much.
Aaron I can not tell you how much enjoyment I get from your input and knowledge. Thanks for the great content. Cheers!
I’m in my late 20s and I wear this fragrance, and my gf that is 23 loves this on me, so maybe not necessarily for older men. I remember when I blind bought it my initial thoughts were exactly like Aaron’s BUT when I wore it a couple of times it kind of grew on me. After an hour or so it kind of mellows down to a nice cozy scent. I’ve never really understood people that obsess with the top notes of a fragrance, you’re going to wear it for a few hours so the heart and base notes should be more important. I’d recommend anyone considering to buy this to try it on and wait an hour or so before deciding because that is when this fragrance shines. Can’t wait to see Aaron’s comparison with ysl tuxedo!
I happen to like Moustache a lot but appreciate your honesty. And that's why I watch your reviews. I always respect your opinion because you base it on fact and your own personal preference. And not by how much a company is paying for your endorsement. Congratulations again for your recent award, much much deserved!
This is why I respect Aaron's take on a lot of things he doesn't go with what everybody likes I mean if he likes it then he likes it but if he doesn't he's going to say so because we all know that fragrance is subjective so great video today Aaron and my scent of the day is Xerjoff Apollonia from the shooting stars collection. 💯🔥
I enjoy your inciteful and honest reviews. Always look forward to them.
I am a big fan of this scent, in fact it's in my winter bin that I'm overdue on opening up because I'm still wearing my fall stuff. Yeah, the Tuxedo price is a tough one to accept 🤧 For the price I really like this and can live the rest of my life without Tuxedo, but in my experience cold weather is a necessity.
I bought this recently and have had really positive reactions to it! There is a slightly metallic tinge to it, and I remember YSL Tuxedo being slightly smoother and sweeter in the dry-down, but Moustache is still unreal considering the price.
thats a strong 7 . i think you gave a great review Aaron here. very balanced, critical with caveats. i LOVE this one and love the dry down on this one even more . its one of the few that latches and doesnt go away in 60 secs :) . i just got my Carbon by the way and LOVE it too. layering and im really enjoying wearing it as a signature as its so versatile . Cant wait for the relaunch in 23.. cheers from US .
Absolutely love this!
I actually got a 10ml of this scent. It smells elegant, sophisticated, rich and classy. What I mostly get out of notes are mainly myrrh or some kind of incense, rose (not overwhelming and loud, but still present) and vanilla in the background. The green note is barely there, but it's probably patchouli? I don't really know. I see someone with a nice black suit and a peacoat wearing this fragrance. :)
I personally love this one..I have YSL Tuxedo too and I like this more..I don't get anything harsh at all with this I get soft pink pepper vanilla and patchouli with a powdery dry down that i love..for the price it's a no brainer
You remind me of like a musical conductor when you explain the notes of the fragrances because of your hand gestures. I feel like I actually understand the perfume a lot more with the way you explain it.
Love your opinion on this one! This is why I love this hobby, it is so subjective so everyone has their different taste. To me personally, love it at first sniff considering that price range. Unique and i have never smelled this on anyone
I do like it a lot. The astringency that you described is partially why I like it. It is not an absolute love, but it is a love.
This Fragrance was originally launched in 1949, 73 years old!
I luv it 🥰, compliment getter as well. Thanks for your honest review...!
I feel because it's associated to YSL Tuxedo, one automatically resonates with it as being elegant. 🤷🏾♂️
I bought this fragrance last year because of so many great reviews and so much love this fragrance gets. When I first sniffed it I was kind of disappointed or maybe rather very neutral to it (this feeling still lasts). I even put a comment how I feel about it to one of the most famous fragrance reviewers here on youtube. I've received pretty negative reply from him such as, how dare I am not to love this perfume as this has been mutually confirmed as a masterpiece by the whole fragrance community. Thanks for the review Aaron :)
Aaron-Thank you for your wonderful reviews. Your extensive knowledge and your ability to break down a perfume and explain how all the parts are working together (or not) on the fly amaze every time. I am curious if you are going to review Iman's "Love Memoir" unisex scent. I read an interview with her about it wherein she mentioned Tom Ford's "Grey Vetiver," which she said was David Bowie's favorite scent. I was researching it and it led me to you. Thanks again!
Very surprised by this one Aaron. I thought you‘d love this. It’s actually better than tuxedo because it’s 1/4th price while being 99% similar. I own moustache anf have a decant of tuxedo and decided not to buy it after i got the decant since it’s literally the same just a tiny little bit better rounded which no one will ever detect when they smell them in the air. I also get nothing harsh from this. Soft peppery sweetness with a beautiful creamy vanilla a little spiceyness and that beautiful hint of rose in this. I wish i had a back-up bottle.
I highly recommend trying Boucheron Jaipur Homme next. I found it to be an eye-opening spicy aromatic fragrance. Both the EDT and EDP smell great and close enough imo (though I slightly prefer the EDT these days)
Started wearing that in the mid 90s. Love it but prefer the EDP. But as with most frags, newest versions don't have the punch and longevity they used to.
That's funny I was thinking the same thing as he was doing the review
I have both the EDP and EDT. I find the EDP a little softer and more powdery. Both great winter scents. Boucheron does some great scents.
Agree! From the legend Annick Menardo. EDP is what I'm packin'.
Right, yes. I have the Fraicheur.
I own this fragrance as well as Tuxedo and your take is spot on with my experience. It has better longevity than Tuxedo, but can be a bit clawing and is getting even more potent as it sits on my shelf. I use one spray lightly applied, and my 2 bottles will last me several lifetimes.
Great video as always, Aaron!
I would love to see your reaction to "Falcon Leather". I´ve got a great feeling that you´re gonna Love it.
You have the most accurate description of the smell. I have it, and I agree with the metallic, harsh, green notes.
I like It very much. For me, is an elegant, beautiful, rose based fragance. Early in the morning, after shower Moustache is my choice...
Rochas is a very underrated House with cheapies of great quality for the price. If you love Moustache, Rochas l'Homme is very good everyday scent (an original take on the blue fragrance style of perfumery) bloody orange, cardamon and pineapple for the opening and a combo of Tonka and patchouli as base notes. And it is very cheap too 40€ for 100ml
Looking forward of you exploring more of the Les Absolus colletion by Guerlain and particularly Bois Mysterieux
I like it. I get a harsh sorta leathery, wood note in the opening. The dry down is what I enjoy.
I was looking at this yesterday almost bought it and now the review I am delighted let’s see what the master says
Great review. I think you were fair in your rating. 7/10 is a good rating. I've owned this now for almost 3years and I must say I quite like and enjoy it very much.
I get grandpa barber shop vibes everytime I smell this one so I definitely agree with your review on this
Interesting to hear your comments on this Aaron. I actually sold my bottle, I thought that cedar dominated too much and made the fragrance unbalanced. Hence why I sold it!
This is one of my favorites I love it
Asmr vibing like always
Thanks for this Aaron! Hey would you be willing to review Nasomatto's China White?? Would love to get your take on it, especially since you've reviewed a few other Nasomatto fragrances.
Love your reviews and love when you don't like something and you say yes it's a good performance and long lasting but i don't like it, we all do it we've all got our own unique taste, I've never tried this one yet
9 out of 10. Love it! Not harsh at all in my opinion.
Great honest review. God bless.
I get a kind of pickly and zingy vibe from it, weird and sort of mature, I blind-bought it from positive reviews again, and I hate it. Thank you for your honest review like always, Aaron.
i really like this scent but everyone has its own opinion :) its like looking at a painting some wil look at it and say it mediocre and others will say it a masterpiece its all based on our own taste :)
I love you brother,you really one of the best Fragance reviewers 🍷 shears
I have seen you have reviewed Givenchy Gentleman EDP and Reserve Privée. I would love for you to review more from the Gentleman line, maybe give your thoughts on Boisée
I bought a 125ml bottle for €35. Best bang for buck ever together with Toy Boy!
I'm 34 I do like it, it almost smelt Fizzy to me when I smell it. I wear it in a colder weather with a shirt normally.
Hi Aaron, I thought I'd ask your opinion on this as you are an expert. How many sprays of my fragrances should I be applying?
Black background 🖤 and as always awesome video
This is one of my fav frags ever. It is sweet, but not too sweet. I find it very smooth. Only issue is it doesn't last or project super well
So true, I don’t wear it anymore bcuz after 45 min or so the scent disappears
@@cjbarber1138 Really? Different batches then.
Mine easily projects for 8+ hours and lasts for a few days on clothes.
Dark background in last 2 videos looks waaay better than eye-killing white one :D
This is a fantastic smooth fragrance, I really like it
Moustache is really great, 9/10
Awesome! ❤
Hi Aaron, saw your aventus comparison with explorer today and just thought maybe the weak performance could be due to the sample bottles. I have found that they spray less than a full bottle and you need to spray a lot to match the volume you would of a full bottle spray🤷🏻♂️ just a consideration
I absolutely adore Moustache, Tuxedo is more classy that's true, Moustache however is fresher at least for me, i do get green tea vibe from it which I do absolutely adore. Thank you for your honesty Aaron, it is kinda rare this days, most of creators do go with the flow, you on the other hand do say what you honestly think.
Nice review and all, but I'm commenting on your hair.. looks absolutely amazing 🙋♂
Excellent review Aaron, I felt the exact same way about this fragrance, it really doesnt quite do it for me, it is metallic which is a let down for me, all the other facets I can live with, but that opening and lingering mettalic note puts me off , sadly it has become a bathroom freshner. Other than that, I have to give away this blind buy.
Thanks Aaron, it's a very honest review and not just making money vloggers who endorses products. I actually got one as per review but its an ok fragrance to me and I do not know how to finish it🤣😂🥺🥺
Aaron is the only person I watch now if I decide I want to purchase a fragrance or not. You have to understand all the other UA-camrs are not a perfumer. They can’t smell what this man smells. He creates his own perfume. he knows exactly what’s in it and if it has too much of one thing or not enough of another thing.
Great review! When can we expect comparison between Davidoff Cool Water vs Green Irish Tweed?
I love the opening of this scent but I find it smells somehow like stale on me after a while. I still love wearing it though for the herbal and vanilla notes though and that tangerine is very nice
I like it, but I agree this does lean more mature. As a college kid, I’m very situational with Moustache EDP since it smells so elegant and refined. I have to wear at least a button up with it. I like it a lot, but I don’t spray it as much as I want to
I like it just fine. It actually grows on me still. However, it just doesn't last on my skin. Maybe it's the newer batches, maybe it will get better with time... But when I spray it, I can expect 1-2 hours of projection, with the scent almost completely gone by hour 3-4.
(And I'm usually not the one complaining about longevity, most other fragrances work just fine on me.)
Hi Aaron. When we looking at Original Vetiver?? Thanks
I ordered a decant of this. Before I even sprayed it, I was getting an almost-fishy note from it. Had it been any stronger I might have gagged. Sprayed it on, didn't like it at all. YSL's Tuxedo is a masterpiece. This feels like a cheap imitation (which it is). Spent the money and got the OG, well worth it. Thanks for reviewing this, though, as it made it recently made its round in the men's fragrance community.
Hello Aaron! Could you please tell me, from your brand of perfumes, which of the man fragrances would you consider to be the absolute masterpiece? And by masterpiece, I mean the one with the most complexity, with the most masculine and seductive smell and with the most reactions from the "elevated" members of the perfume community.
This fragrance turned up today… and it’s lovely I can see where moschino toy boy got the idea now.. iv had this on for 40 mins now it’s lovely 💯 percent be buying more
I understand you don’t want to offend/smash a house, but I feel like it’s important to be honest with your scores. It felt more like you would give this a 4 or 5 based on your reaction to the scent.
Thank for all your hard work!
His initial reaction was off-putting. However, as it dried down, he became more open to it.
Seeing many of your reviews, i like it. Would be great if you can tell commoners like us on how to notice the difference between "cheap chemicals" and "good ingredients"
I agree about the ‘harshness.’ There’s a strong leather note in it that makes it more masculine than I’d like. I was expecting something soft, benzoine-heavy and completely unisex. But it kind of smells like a lighter Bentley For Men Intense-leathery boozy and masculine.
It’s called moustache, why would it be unisex ?
@@andrewmoss1135 Because of how everyone described it, apparently including Rochas-the “sensitive man.”
Everyone said it’s “benzoin vanilla with a bit of rose” which sounds unisex. Dior Homme Intense has homme in it and is unisex. L’Homme Ideal EDP too.
I always go to your channel to see your opinions before I buy a fragrance
My 1st purchase of Moustache EDP was a blind buy. After opening it, I immediately bought 3 more bottles to save..
This is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. It gets more depth after it "macerates" for a few weeks..
I kinda dig it. Doesn’t give me a headache at all. Solid
One of my favorite cheap scents. I paid around € 30,- for 125ml and a shower gel.
Where do you get these prices ? It’s amazing
Waiting review for CH Men. One of my favourite "leather-based fragrance", mixed with burnt sugar and light vanilla undertones. Amazing 😏
The reason why you liked Tuxedo more is exactly because it's a bit more smoother and higher quality raw materials. But comparing the two Moustache comes extremely close to it and with the price difference it's a no brainer. I tried both side by side but I simply don't see myself paying that extra money for Tuxedo when Moustache is so close to it plus 120ml bottle...I paid less then 40eur for it.I love it,super classy fragrance. And your should dress up for it. It's not something to be worn casual.
Since you asked - i really like this fragrance 😃
I love it.. it is super smooth on me :D
Awesome review mi amigo.
Can u please do your take on YSL Tuxedo, the original, and Afnan Thurathi brow, the are all quite similiar to this one or rather this to YSL. And compare them with each other? Thank you!
0:39 that 'OKAAAAY' killed me, lol
Love the intro 😂
A very nice fragrance for the money. Smells rich and balsamic.
Rochas is a very underrated House with cheapies of great quality for the price. If you love Moustache, Rochas l'Homme is very good everyday scent (an original take on the blue fragrance style of perfumery) bloody orange, cardamon and pineapple for the opening and a combo of Tonka and patchouli as base notes. And it is very cheap too 40€ for 100ml
I wonder if you could give us your take on Jazeel Ghala. I love it, but it's a shock for Western noses. -a real oud/real rose bomb.
Anyway, I trust your take on frags more than any other reviewer.
Surprised Aaron did not talk much about the pink pepper note that women really like in this fragrance. I really like this fragrance and my female friends do also. Sounds like he did not. It is powerful and to me the cedar, pepper and vanilla work nicely together. Maybe this review will help moderate the price of the fragrance as it has been increasing like many others.
85% similar to YSL Tuxedo, but the last 15% difference that Tuxedo has makes it so special and alluring. Would always get Tuxedo instead of Moustache!!
The one we've all been waiting for... 👀
Interesting review I may try it for that reasonable price. I do like oriental style fragrances .
When i got my 125Ml bottle of Moustache EDP, im sure it cost around £28. It has rocketed in price
Yeah, same. I think it's an excellent scent. Not because it's affordable. I just think it is excellent. Another great scent in my opinion is Bentley for men intense. Scent of the day. It's tremendous. I have many far more expensive designer fragrances but the two I mention are way above their price point.
I agree the green note almost ruins it when smelling off skin. Its fine in the air. kismet a bit smoother
I love this fragrance. I think this fragrance is extremely dependent on your batch though. I have an older batch that isn’t harsh at all, projection and longevity are fantastic. My friend bought a newer batch and it was quite weak with a different smell.
Agreed. Definitely a huge batch variation going on with this stuff
Thank you Aaron.
Hello 👋
Would love to hear your thought on the royal tobacco from amouge sometime soon. Lovely video like always and much love to all... 🌻🧘♂️
For the price I think this is a good one. I’ve never smelled Tuxedo so I’m unable to compare them. Last fall when I wore this it reminded me of Pi as I picked up vanilla and benzoin the most. Not sure if my nose has changed but now I pick up the green notes much more. Still smell the benzoin but the vanilla is minimal 🤷🏾♂️
I’ve had this for a year now, never having smelled tuxedo I always doubted how close it to tuxedo, I recently got to smell tuxedo and mustache is identical to tuxedo.
I’m in my 30s and I love it this fragrance. I don’t find it metallic at all. I find it to be warm and sweet with a nice vanilla and spices.
I really love this fragrance, to me it just smells so good! Smells soft and relaxing to me. Plus the price is unbeatable, I just paid 35 dollars for it. The fact that he didn't like it doesn't mean you won't like it. So try first, fragrances are subjetive.
I have the EDT and would like to get the EDP. To me, the name "Moustache" embodies the character of a vintage, just-from-the-barbershop, masculine sort of gentleman.
I'm in my 30's and love it. :)
for me moustache starts off like Dior Homme intense or Valentino Uomo intense and in the dry down you have some of that mysterious Dior Fahrenheit darkness. Compliments galore!
*Nice hairstyle*
I just got sample of guerlain ideal parfum, xerjoff nio and moustache after tons of hearing positive hype. Guerlain hugely dissapointed giving me headache, nio was meh.. but moustache came one of my favourite scent. It's i'd say blind safe buy. Try a sample you'll love it.
Akigalawood, can it carry that component that gives a spicy character to Patchouli?
This review reminds me why I stopped collecting and watching reviews and going down the damn rabbit hole making others more money....
This is a great fragrance and my girlfriend is smitten with it.
It's a great one indeed 😊
