Description
As nuanced as the person who wears it, Excentrique Moi is a fragrance that traces the outline of our ever-shifting moods and personality. Excentrique Moi is a story of contrasts. Its texture is rich in playoffs between sweet and bitter, herbal and earthy, dark and light. Plummy, wine-like dried fruits sweeten the tannic sharpness of black tea leaves, and the upturned-earth darkness of patchouli is illuminated by a shaft of sunshine from lemon. Full of twists and turns, Excentrique Moi shifts restlessly from fruit to forest to smoke like storm clouds seen racing across the reflection in a glass of absinthe. Wearing it is like holding up a mirror to one’s own emotions and moods.
Excentrique Moi by Art de Parfum is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Excentrique Moi was launched in 2016. Top notes are pepper, cloves and red fruits; middle notes are guaiac wood, hibiscus and black tea; base notes are patchouli, white musk and cedar.

I totally agree with the official discription of this scent. I’m pretty eccentric so we were made for each other lol
The opening is intense and what a olfactory rollercoaster ride. I love that the tea, spice, pepper and hibiscus are strong. Patch is pretty low key on me for some strange reason. There is not a great amount of fruity sweetness either but Im not complaining.
The notes play off each other perfectly. I think I’ve found my next perfect tea scent alongside Masque Russian Tea although they are not at all similar. This potent scent has to be reserved for cool temp nightwear.

Excentrique Moi is the most interesting creation of the brand, a favorite of Ruta and a composition that in fact delivers something exotic and different as promised. The aroma of tea is to me the soul of the composition and it presents itself in a warm, herbal way, mixed with the sweetest aroma of red fruits and honey. The use of clove and pepper adds a spicy and dry touch to the idea and the hibiscus acts in a secondary way highlighting the floral and fruity side of the more exotic and herbal tea aroma. As it evolves, the lightly smoked tea tone adds to the smoky and earthy aroma of the patchouli in the base, which is complemented by the woody and dry aroma of cedar and the dense herbal aroma of artemisia. There is still an aromatic touch that reminds me of the aroma of twigs and fir, although such notes are not mentioned in the composition. Excentrique Moi seems to modulate nuances and an aura similar to Chypre Rouge by Serge Lutens, but with a more intense and persistent color. It certainly pleases a very specific taste and closes the collection at the most daring and risky point of the brand.

Amazingly fresh but with a nice woody vibe. A lovely take on the notes,most unusual.

The opening is very peppery, zingy, herbal, earthy fresh. I wouldn’t say this is warm at all it’s a lot more almost citrusy. The description actually does say it has lemon despite not seeing on the notes, I think it’s pretty prominent. I think this is more a warm-weather fragrance, I don’t really get the plum or the fruits or warmth apart from the clove which here is more herbal. Very nice though smells elegant very well blended. Drydown is very clove and wood heavy so changes quite a bit. Hence what they say in the description! Overall very interesting, high quality.

I was so looking forward to this one, visualising a Bohemian woman in a long crushed velvet coat, living in Paris in the 1890s. Woody, warm spicy, it sounded the kind of perfume I adore.
My fault, perhaps, for getting my hopes up so high. The immediate mental image conjured by the first spray was… a hospital. A blast of antiseptic, a strongly herbal smell, through which I can detect powerful patchouli. I don’t like patchouli as a single note, but I can happily tolerate it when well-blended. Try as I might, I couldn’t stop finding the fragrance powerfully medicinal, like something you’d rub on a pulled muscle.
As it dried down, I got more smokiness. Everything became more subtle, but not alas, more seductive. If you love patchouli and really do want something different, worth a try. Unfortunately, for me, it did not live up to the fantasy.

Smart casual for the night, but I could see this being pulled off during the day, maybe in a suit, if you wear suits, I don’t, but anyway, it is alert/present, sophisticated enough to pull off, I would hazard.
The opening is amazeballs, and it drys down into a dry, woody, mature fruity, tea-y clean scent, with just enough edge to provoke curiousity.
