File this one under "interesting concept, terrible execution." The brand page says this scent is supposed to evoke the feeling "as if it were inviting everyone to share, over a glass of something," presumably a Moscow Mule cocktail.
But there's no substance or punch here. You get some sharp citruses (lemon and bergamot) in the opening blast, made a little harsh initially by the perfumer's alcohol, but this almost immediately dissipates and fades into ginger and some darker woods notes (it's nearly oud-like, but not quite).
Within 10 minutes, I can no longer smell the scent unless my nose is 2-3 inches away from my skin, and what remains there in this extremely tiny scent bubble is a bit of apple and a slightly dank amberwood and ambrette combo. If this were amplified to the point where I could smell it even just from the basic distance of my hand to my nose, it would be a scent worth considering.
But it's not. There's nothing here but air. I could probably get a more potent Moscow Mule scent on my skin by spilling an actual Moscow Mule on myself.
Notes: Bergamot, Ginger, Woody Notes, Hedione, White Musk, Lime, Lemon, Amberwood, Ambrette, Apple
3/10 stars.
