The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Friends Men by Moschino, launched in 2005 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Polge, is a vibrant citrus-aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of youthful energy and spontaneity. The composition opens with green mandarin, bergamot, and blood orange, creating an invigorating burst of freshness. As these top notes fade, petitgrain paraguay and pelargonium add a subtle herbal complexity, while sea notes lend a briny, marine quality. The base notes of tahitian vetiver, cedar, and musk ground the fragrance with earthy warmth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to the pulse points — the fragrance opens up quickly with its bright citrus notes but settles into a more subtle warmth over time. Best for daytime wear when you want a fresh, energetic presence.
