Hidden Beach Mootes — a 2022 fragrance that needs no introduction. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the wood, citrus, and balsamic families. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Country of origin — Switzerland. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Hidden Beach is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The signature of Mootes is evident from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a glittering citrus mood: Frankincense, Lemongrass, Lime, Sandalwood and Vanilla. In this format 5 notes work as one voice, building sunny vitality that feels seamless.
The deeper layers are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Wood and Spicy without random overlap.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Balsamic, Citrus, Wood and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Balsamic, Citrus and Wood.
Taken together Hidden Beach reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
