Musc K

Your skin chemistry really comes into play with this type of fragrance. This is beautiful to me. I get complimented on this by men & women. I've had a man tell me in the middle of his sentence when he caught whiff of it that I smell really nice. I asked if it's too strong. He said "Its just right." My husband will cuddle me all night long with this fragrance on my neck. To my nose, it really is Glossier You but way better quality and lasting power. I can smell this for hours. It is best applied right after a nice relaxing shower. I feel like if you apply this without showering first it'll magnify the scent of your body odor and ...sometimes that might not be a great thing- like someone below said it smells like you've sweated and tried to cover the sweat smell up with this scent.. I can see that but at the same time if you've showered first and already smell squeaky clean then this scent will also magnify how clean you smell. At times I'll layer it with leau papier. It is Gorgeous cloud of clean white musk layered or alone. If the notes interest you, you need to test this on skin. I'd also go as far as to say the temperature of your environment also comes into play. I've had this feel way too much for me in the high sticky humidity /heat -- i can admit it becomes too much for me... same with glossier you. . If I overspray that one in the high heat I can get nauseated. A good thing is that you does not last long at all so it would be a plus for that reason alone. in the right temperature it's flawless. Either way, this is in my collection.. I probably won't have to repurchase for a while because it's that potent. I get great longevity/ sillage out of 2 to 3 sprays per use. I feel like the full bottle pays for itself given that it is a beast mode musc scent. Probably one of the strongest in its scent profile. This is one where it truly depends on your chemistry / environment I guess! If you love glossier you but dislike the longevity try a sample or decant if you can because I have both and they really are so similar in terms of scent. The quality is yards apart- musc k being of course the better quality one. Because of the price, I can see why some people would just settle for the more affordable option and keep topping up through the day. This, however, for me, is a one and done application. Go easy on the trigger. No matter the bad reviews, don't knock it until you've tested it for yourself.

This is the one and only time I will be able to review Ella K for some time because I could only afford one 1ml sample vial from Luckyscent and I chose this one because I heard it is one of the best fragrances of 2023. I don't have anything else from Sonia at this time, but I hope to have more in the future. For some reason, I'm having a hard time describing how I feel about this fragrance. Because of that, I want to say this is a very safe wear simply due to its non-aggressive attitude. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it isn't. It is a very beautiful fragrance profile, but today I would like something with a bit more personality. I am aware that comment is very personal and will certainly change depending on my mood. However, I think the comment is helpful if you are searching for something that can potentially calm you down and help you relax. It almost has a lavender-like quality in that it promotes aromatherapy style relaxation. I suppose that's what I mean when I say it lacks a strong personality. It does not have an attitude and it doesn't yell or scream. Perhaps I should say her personality is quiet and subdued. Still beautiful nonetheless. The Iris comes through as well as the musk; there is a prominent light and airy quality mixing with the typical powdery make up scent profile. This is not groundbreaking, but it is a fragrance done well. If you are looking for something to wear to the office, or to school, and you want to be approachable while still smelling unique and luxurious, I do recommend Musc K. I don't think it will allure, but it will impress. It rides the line between clean and cozy, professional and personal, serious and fun. This further emphasizes my recommendation to wear this out in public. It will create inquiry because there is a quality about it that's different while still maintaining the mainstream clean and classy attitude. There is no serious shift or change from the opening to the dry down, so it is safe in that regard as well. Overall, Musc K is worth the trouble collecting the sample if you live in the United States. For everyone else, the brand certainly has potential and is worth further exploration. Especially if you understand what mood you are in!

Musk K is a fluffy, soft and gentle musk centric scent! A truly outstanding creation suited to people who wear fragrance for their own enjoyment not compliments. It’s a special kind of musk from everything I have or sampled before and I would really love to have this in my collection. It’s my favourite fragrance from Ella K brand. It’s a sweet and creamy musk with pink pepper touches, woodiness coming from cedar and some powdery iris. The iris in here is gorgeous! Normally not my favourite note in fragrances, but I love it here. And this is not a gourmand scent where I usually tend to get along with iris. I am not sure if sand lily is supported to smell like a normal lily or it would smell differently, but it blends so well with the musk and wood here and offers the whole composition a creamy floral feel. I am finding myself very tempted to get a bottle of this. The scent is gorgeous and feels so comforting, the packaging looks expensive and heavy, an opaque, white marble type of bottle with the usual golden cap! A winning combination for someone who has expensive taste, loves a white, clean musk and is not expecting a beast of a scent. A gem of fragrance for cozy days when you need something to boost your mood! The musk in here and the overall feel makes me think of the musk from Sunny Side Up from Juliette has a Gun, but that one is more floral and coconut heavy. Musk K would be the fall version of that!

This is one of those perfumes that you should try it on your skin. When I first sniffed it directly from the bottle it was nothing but a doppelgänger of Glossier You. I was so disappointed not because I hate You (in fact I love You!) but because I was looking for something new. I sprayed it on the blotter to see if it'd develop. It didn't. It was still Glossier You. Usually I would just give up and walk away but there has to be something for a perfume to get this much hype, right? So I decided to spray it on my wrist anyway without much expectation at that point. And I gasped. It still had the Glossier You vibe but it was something new. An unexpected newness I didn't know I was craving! Musc K, to my nose, is very neroli forward perfume. It almost feels like it's a cousin of Eau des Sens from Diptyque (but fluffier and softer, I'd say). Neroli isn't on the note list but it is neroli to me somehow. And this is the first ever neroli perfume my nose can accept without giving me an headache! I had adored the scent of neroli itself but it always gave me an headache... You've got no idea how happy I am now. It is fresh and clean just like everybody says, it's true. The ultimate white t-shirt perfume for sure. It is white but with a hint of greenness IMO, making it even fresher. I love this. The only down side of this is the price tag. Damn.

I think musks are one of the hardest categories to review/recommend. They often smell different on different people but the notes are usually similar. I’ve been on the hunt for my perfect fluffy white musk and I’ve been a real Goldilocks about it. I don’t like musks that are too fruity, too floral, too resinous, or too aldehydic. This is why Musc K is my current reigning champion of all the one’s I’ve tried (and I’ve tested a bunch): 1. Its equal parts clean, refreshing and cozy 2. The sand lily note is noticeable, and gives it this sensual heftiness. 3. It’s the most ‘beast mode’ musk I’ve come across. I get about four hours of projection before it becomes a skin scent However, I agree with some of the cons other reviews mention: 1. It opens pretty screechy 2. It leans fresh laundry 3. There is something a bit earthy or grainy about it? Which can be off putting - especially if you’re looking for a sweeter, creamier profile. I don’t think this is a ‘your skin but better’ musk. It’s a ‘nestle yourself into a bed of floofy clouds’ type ... if that makes any sense. All in all, Musc K is a clean and luxurious scent to my nose, and oddly my partner is crazy about it as well and finds it to be sexy and sophisticated... so it’s pretty full bottle worthy imo.
