Moustache Original 1949

Moustache Original 1949, an ancestral fragrance by Rochas

While some fragrances quickly fall into oblivion, others have literally made their mark on the history of perfumery. Moustache is a scent signed by Rochas that first appeared in 1949 and is still remembered to this day. At a time when men did not yet truly wear fragrance, it caused quite a stir upon its release. Daring and powerful, Moustache is a perfume that leaves no one indifferent and boldly reinterprets the classic structure of Eau de Cologne.

Moustache, a fashion accessory in its own right

Moustache by Rochas is not simply a fresh note that enhances a man's grooming. It goes far beyond that and loves to make itself noticed. It thus emerges as a fashion accessory in its own right. As Marcel Rochas so aptly put it at the time of its launch: « Men have their fashion accessories: ties, hats, shoes, etc…, their jewellery: cufflinks, signet rings… why shouldn't they also have a fragrance that expresses their personality? The true fragrance of a man, I see it as one that would please women because it would be specially suited to men. » And so it was that Moustache made its appearance in 1949.

Moustache, a fresh and woody fougère by Rochas

Very different from the fragrances of its era, Moustache Original 1949 by Rochas opened a new path to masculine refinement. Many consider it to be one of the first true men's fragrances in the proper sense of the term. This scent reinterprets the classic structure of Eau de Cologne, which was widely used at the time, and adds woodier facets to it. It is therefore a particularly masculine fragrance, yet accompanied by a certain freshness and great vivacity. Moustache by Rochas opens with a citrus accord combining lime, orange, bergamot and petitgrain. A more aromatic note joins the blend, weaving together sage, lavender, marjoram, rosemary and thyme. The woods, in turn, make their appearance in its trail. The masculinity of Moustache resurfaces through a deep and powerful combination of pine, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss.
