Musk Silk

A beautiful musk oil that has a strange roundness to it - just as it is about to get almost animalic and sharp, it veers into a clean sweetness instead, in an unexpected U-turn that makes you want to smell it again and again. It has the smell of skin after spending a warm but windy spring day outside, it's a hard to describe but very familiar scent, like a hug. It doesn't turn metallic or too perfumey like some musks do, it has an intimate sillage but great longevity, especially on hair (2-3 days) and clothes (3-4 days). I've been wearing it in cool, humid weather, don't know yet how it will act in summer - for now I wear it on pulse points and under clothes, it does activate with body warmth. I'd say it leans more feminine because it reminds me of a feminine perfume base but I couldn't tell which for certain. I'm not a big lover of musk or musk notes, but this one is a gem! I strongly recommend everyone to try it at least once if you can!

This is lovely, but smells nothing like lily of the valley or vanilla. It is neither powdery! Imagine wearing musk while walking through a pine forest... it smells of pine, fir and musk, nothing more or less! This oil emanates just notes of Tolu Balm, in all its glory. Really pleasant, but more masculine than feminine. I still enjoy it and recommend it for when you want or need to stop the world and dream of unspoiled mountains. Perfect for winter. UPDATE 3oth Jan - I keep returning to this bottle, especially when my house gets warmer. I LOVE the smell of this, so comforting and relaxing. I highly recommend!

A light woody powdery skin scent which smells so good it’s definitely my favorite musk to layer perfumes with. It’s inoffensive and lightly sweet vanilla that adds a touch of sweetness and powderiness without overpowering. It’s very soft and very intimate there’s barely any sillage with this but if i’m hugging someone they can definitely smell it. If you want to make the scent stronger and have more sillage , top it with the body powder version.

This oil + Montale Amber Musk = Silent Luxury. It has the same video as not a perfum overdose by Juliette has a gun. My mom got it as a gift from her from when her friend visited Dubai and this stuff is straight heat. Perfectly clean white unisex musk almost like those little cube musk I used to rub on my neck as a kid. I wish it was more available in Canada but it’s hard to find one for decent price without inflated shipping cost.

Mmmm don’t get it if you want something strong, this doesn’t last at all, and it smells nothing like vanilla and lily. the smell is 100% powder, but I’ll still buy it again and again and again, is really nothing special at all. Is been best selling for years now, if you into layering you would love this as you base
