Sir Irisch Moos (1969)
by Sir

This is a brutal take on the 'gentlemen's club' old school frags. A chypre with more presence than the packaging will lead you to believe. It shares some similarities to Champaca also by SIR, both frags are of high enough quality that SIR should be more well known. I sampled the After Shave and even in that strength this is a power house. I wounder what the stronger concentrations are like. The aura of this frag is such that it should command way more money that it is available for, it certainly fits the description of 'awesome cheapie'.

I have access to this (after shave only), for those who can't find it anywhere and are interested. The price is very decent as well. PM me.

For me it's a true insider tip, I'm always coming back to that one.
I use to buy a lot of expensive fragrance such Knize Ten, Amouage (well, sorry but I like civette...), Creed (Orange spice, Tabarome, Bois du portugual, GIT...) believing that the price always equal quality (OK It's sometimes true) but somehow I'm always come back to that scent again. SIR Irisch (and not Irish because it's a german one remember ?) Moos is very animalic, long lasting, just well balanced, macho with just a little sweetness in it but really not too much, and has a very smooth chemistry reaction on my skin.
It's really a "need-to-try" one.
Great thumb up !!!

Manly oakmoss and strong, even in the aftershave formulation! Been looking for the EdT but I think it's been discontinued or put on hold and could only find the aftershave. Can be found inexpensively in Germany at department stores. Good bang for the buck (or euro/mark)

They’ll never tame an irish moss man... Masculine, with a fresh moss character” product blurb.
Sir Irisch Moos is a delightful old-school cedar chypre. Despite its name, it doesn’t have much of a mossy aspect (at least not in my bottle, which is vintage). Cedar gives a fresh vibe and at times the tang of pencil shavings. Coriander adds woody spice. This is brisk, invigorating, fresh, and enjoyable. It is a simple scent, not big or heavy. It dries down close to the skin. I like it.

Uncomplicated, pleasant cedar chypre notes. A great everyday scent,an understated, decent, effortless to be and smell elegantly.

I find that this smells very much like Givenchy Gentleman
