Mx.

I think this is an outstanding blend! The profile smells of a creamy transparent beige colored sandalwood given body by a zesty citrusy ginger with pepper. Woody, earthy, cacao and a slight "human-skin" like nuance from a touch of castoreum. Quite unique. A "your skin but better" type of fragrance. It is the backbone of Mxxx and I was reminded of Mxxx but stripped of its rich pushy elements like a smokey and spicy mace, incense, vanilla and salty ambergris. A simple spicy woody that once again like its big brother Mxxx feels like it has a quiet natured complexity. This is a fragrance for a personality that reveals very little about themselves maybe as a defense mechanism or maybe because it's fun. This fragrance feels very well-dressed, very educated, and very goal oriented. No sharp edges at all to be found in the blend and quite attractive in its quietness however not mind-blowing, strong or daring. But somehow also not dull. Comfortable. Reasonably priced in my opinion. I almost can't smell it on my skin when I am still, but as I move I get this wonderful trail of something light, creamy, earthy and head-grabbing in the air and I soon remember I applied this... Mx is probably a nominal choice for a signature scent. Inoffensive and soundless but full of unique character and development upon drying down. It is spicy, woody, earthy, and creamy in the dry down. Meant to highlight many of the delicate facets of high-quality Australian sandalwood. I've not smelt anything similar to this besides Mxxx. To me there is something quite special here. Well-behaved and smart, and I think that was the point - I now see where that energy comes through in Mxxx. Easy to wear on hot days and cold days and something I could see myself wanting to make memories with. A very relaxing spicy, creamy, sandalwood fragrance in the camps of my favorite the original Costume National Homme EDP. Unisex but frank. Verrrrry slightly male leaning. I have sample vials of the whole line from LuckyScent I will be discussing. Calling this a good "office fragrance" would be an understatement but I feel like it would also be an insult. This is quite attractive and high quality and it can easily satisfy a momentous occasion as well. 9.5/10

This is what most "office" scent aspires to be. Constantly shifting, always opening but never overpowering. Literally can't pin down a note, not in the opening, not in the dry down because for me it doesn't have one. Can't consciously smell it, but if you have an office and walk into it after lunch break you will find yourself inhaling a deep breath and thinking "that's nice, what is that". It smells familiar so you might think it should smell generic, it doesn't. It doesn't lean warm or cool, instead it's like a barely there breeze on a slightly warm dry spring day. It's the scent equivalent of the perfect thermostadt setting where you can layer or not depending on your mood and still be comfortable. I do not love it, there's no wow moment, nothing that captivates or anything that grabs. Yet it holds beautifully. If you like Bottega Veneta Signature this will be what you turn to after you get bored with it. I literally can't picture anyone this wouldn't work for, yet you still won't smell like anyone else. Very safe blind buy. Will be joining my closet.

"this is how I perceive myself in a scent" Here I describe what most fragrance lovers chase but is sometimes so hard to find...a scent that doesn’t just smell good, but reflects you or how you envision yourself. Not an accessory, not a mask but a mirror. Mx is special because it discards boundaries and embraces nuance. A blend of woods, spice, incense, musk, and yet still get a sort of light freshness. There is no narrative, it just holds space. It's warm and open, textured but clean, grounded and somehow still ethereal. Big love from me. We can do better than “masculine” or “feminine.” Those words can be shortcuts that flatten things, especially with art like this. A scent can be Grounded, Expansive, Radiant, Shadow, Tactile and Weightless. Or like Mx, fluid, soulful, and fully alive.

Ok, so I'm coming back to show some more love for this scent. It's so freakin pleasant, so easy to wear for just about any occasion. It's a little smoky when you need it to be, it's woody and dry but also it has this warm sweetness just cruising through the composition. Such a well done olfactory experience. More people should know about this scent. I live in the south and Mx has no issues in the heat. Never cloying, never sour and it just mixes with your natural smell and you get this slightly sweet woody scent trail. To my nose Mx is in the same realm as Bois D'Armenie. Remove the sweeter vanilla component and amplify the woodiness

On the drydown I get a very nice smokey wood smell, like cedar charcoal, that stays very close to the skin. There is some powder to this fragrance too.
