About
Hwyl by Aesop is a Woody fragrance for women and men. Hwyl was launched in 2017. Top notes are Spices and Thyme; middle notes are Cypress and Woody Notes; base notes are Olibanum, Vetiver and Oakmoss. "The passing impression of Hwyl Eau de Parfum’s smoky introduction folds aromatic spices into fresh Thyme Extract. Cypress leads to a warm and woody heart, while the notes of Vetiver Extract, Frankincense and moss effect an earthy sensuality and longevity." - a note from the brand.

About
Mousse Illuminee by Rogue Perfumery is a fragrance for women and men. Mousse Illuminee was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Manuel Cross. The fragrance features Oakmoss, Artemisia, Cypress, White Flowers, Laurels, Olibanum, White Musk and Cedar. "A dreamlike forest. The green lichen emanate. A bright, silver glow. Notes include: Treemoss, Frankincense, Green Cypress, Artemisia, Laurel Leaves, Cedar, White Floral Notes, White Musk. Mousse Illuminee is built around a lovely treemoss absolute from Robertet. The absolute smells dry, resinous, sweet...of the forest. I decided upon an early 80's style men's powerhouse fragrance. I went heavy on floral Lyral and clean white musk notes for the base. Artemisia, laurel leaf and cypress were used to accentuate the bitter spicy green notes. I then completed the composition with big notes of frankincense, lending a piney, camphor-like opening." - a note from the brand.
