gorgeous white floral with a depth of musk and oakmoss

Houbigants are my current obsession… and I stumbled upon this. Now, I have the Parquet version EDT, but so far- my first tissue test is promising!!!
At first, I was like… man…. boring ole fruity floral. BUT– that is just the apple. Even tho I have Parquet (reformulation of Houb I assume) I can easily detect the notes from this page.
Very apple/honey fruity for about 20 min, and then the woods/musk/moss move in. It’s not a true chypre because of the apple/honey/light floral, but I’m def getting the green-moss and woods. In fact, it sounds lazy… but I get each of the notes listed– just about in that order! The floral notes the least since they are not listed/labeled individually.
This doesn’t smell old, and it’s no doubt reformulated, but it’s got some neat vintage flair without smelling like the same-old dated chyrpe (which I LIKE, I’m not rippin’ on old chypres- I looooove them). The apple and honey really make a difference. The florals mixed in tame the oakmoss/woods, and there is only a hint of the animalics/musk. Something is kinda minty, but I think it’s from something sharp– maybe the moss or florals?
I have a blind buy of the EDT AND EDP (same seller, great prices, combined shipping) I’m so excited to try this proper on my skin/body. Right now I couldn’t help but sneak a quick tissue spray as soon as it came in the mail.
I will update on a proper body wear, plus any diff between the EDT And EDP.
The Parquet version is abundant enough on ebay with so-so prices (or save the search to find future cheaply listed bottles) so I highly rec this for vintage lovers who get a rush from blind buys. 😉
The drydown is now golden honey-moss-woods-musk in a very light way. Good stuff!!!!
A proper chest/clothing/wrist wear was actually quite different. I got SOAPY powdery florals and spicy musk. No apple/honey, and def more florals and bigtime aldehydes. The moss/green/woods is toned down now too. Interesting! Still so excited to have this!
The current drydown is woods, but I do detect apples again- and a hint of dry moss. What a fun scent!
I wore the EDT on my chest/clothing, but did the EDP on my wrists… and the EDP lasted maybe 1 hour on skin? Meh. Too quick to fully appreciate/value the EDP vs EDT.
Spicy woody-mossy apple musk, yet light and airy. A day-time or springtime scent, which would compliment Apercu by Houbigant sooooo awesomely– Apercu is also highly recommended for it’s night/autumn resin-y divineness.

I absolutely LOVE this vintage fragrance, its a clean and green floral scent. It’s distinct uniqueness is likely because of the strong C7 aldehydes which possess a herbaceous green aroma. This perfume is not for the faint of heart, it has both an enormous sillage and it is very long lasting. Think Dior’s Poison or Paul Sebastian’s Design in terms of this anomalous bouquet; definitely a signature scent!
