Coty Musk for Men

Purchased May 2017 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - Part II I aim to layer this with Wild Musk. Perhaps that's what's missing from my overall experience with it. I really miss this Coty beauty, this jewel. Just smells amazing, so amazing I need a time machine to go BACK to that May of 2017 and smell it for the first time once again. It's so beautifully depressingly nostalgic, the lipstick and make-up bag and kit smell while cradled in your mother's loving arms as an infant, a toddler, all the way into adolescence. It'll make you run away and cry all the way to the past. It's truly a lost in the past cologne that nobody cares about anymore. So sad, even I've fallen into that unintentionally. Here's why chaps. So I ended up mainly using it at night/for bed time. It's very strong, I ended up preferring Chaz because it's not "dirty" like Coty Musk it's rather clean and vibrant/more pleasant. When I say dirty, I don't mean disgusting - nope. I mean a lovely overdriven guitar tone in the likes of Hey Joe and Sunshine of Your Love; a fabulously tuned small-block V8 burble - not loud, but smooth and brutish when going for second gear - simply not "clean". Now I've distinguished this personal definition it's simply too difficult to "get the crowd" with Coty Musk but BY GOD WILL I TRY. My problem is the bottle is VERY small, 44mL, and I never dared overspraying in the few years of wearing it quite regularly. I thought it was heavy enough, more heavy metal than classic rock though that doesn't make sense. If the lipstick and mother's embrace was already established then where the hell would heavy metal fit? Most mothers prefer classic rock and not heavy metal. What we have here is a failure to comply with modern standards, and I don't care because Jimmy crack corn - he could not help it. People must be pandered to and pleased overall to the detriment of nuance, because Coty Musk has the most nuance of any cheap bottle around. Yet this is the opposite of cheapo, it's super high quality for what it is. That's why I never oversprayed it. It's heavy, pungent, an acquired taste.

No man card for you. I miss this bottle a little too much. It's actually the most difficult to approach cologne of all, I can't remember the last time I had it on. It's the black smoke monster in a bottle, it gives me goosebumps. Edit: My bottle's real weak nowadays. Even after 5+ sprays it'll only last 2 hours. Batch: 2277 from 4th October, 2012.

Coty Musk is a fantastic retro cologne. I think it smells quite similar to Jade East and Hai Karate. The problem is that it is an extremely poor performer, barely an aftershave in its longevity. You have to spray it on and then immediately start sweating for it to continue doing its thing. That is why I would really only recommend it for summer wear. Otherwise, it's going to vanish soon after you put it on. Perhaps it was only ever intended as a skin scent, sort of a 1970's body spray. I love the bottle. It looks exactly like it belongs on the sink of somebody like John Shaft in the movies.

Epic Journey Into the Bottled Yonder, 022 ------------------------------------------------------- Purchased May 2017 Part I This was a great one for a while. Eventually, maybe 1.5 years later there was some cloudy particles swimming around in the fluid. Nowadays they're gone. What's all that about? Still smells fantab and hella masculine. Edit: The particles are back, probably just cheap blending quality or something. I think it's after the bottles has been shaken a little or the fluid has been disturbed they rise and swish around, could be sediment.... Batch: 2277 from 4th October, 2012.

When I sprayed this in my boyfriend's mouth (accidentally, he wasn't supposed to turn around 🤣😝) he said it smelled like his grandma. (Not a deterrent for me 😁) I love it-- not as musky a musk as I hoped for--but I'm not complaining for the price ($12usd.) Re-applying throughout your day will be necessary if you want to keep smelling it. I love this layered with my other musk scents. It's sweet like Emeraude (the amber) but more unisex. The search continues for the intense soapy skin-like musk of my dreams.

(Modern bottle) If you like Stetson or Kiehl's, you will most likely enjoy this too. The musk base in Stetson reads very similar at least to my nose, but Stetson is a little more floral and intricate. Coty Musk is less urinal cakey than Kouros, and less sweet than Kiehl's. Overall a safe buy if you like clean-dirty musk, and also worth looking at as a first foray into the genre.
