I'm A Musk

I tested this at Target. I probably wouldn’t have even smelled it if my boyfriend didn’t pick it up and spray it first since musk isn’t usually something I would pick myself. This fragrance is very nice however... so nice that after spraying myself I couldn’t stop smelling it. I didn’t purchase it when I tested it but I loved it so much I went back after an hour and bought it. It is light and a beautiful creamy musky scent. I love that it has a subtle warmth and nothing that competes with the more masculine musk notes. It smells great on my skin and clothing and I think it is appropriate for all occasions and weather. I would say it’s quite unisex, smells neither overly feminine or masculine. Smelled good on my boyfriend and myself. I have been craving the scent of this since I tested it and it’s very rare for me to feel that way about a scent! The best part is the price. For $28 you cannot go wrong AND it is cruelty free which is really amazing because it can be hard to find cruelty free fragrances at a lower price like this. I will definitely be buying this again when I run out.

Yeah, it smells like fresh, clean paper/cotton to me until pretty far into the dry down process. It’s really nice, tho. It’s an inoffensive clean scent & very wearable in environments where you don’t want (or can’t have) much perfume scent. It dries down to a lightly powdery, woody & ever-so-slightly sweet scent. On the test strip, it’s still pretty strong smelling after 24 hours. No skin test yet. And I get no pickle scent from it. Edit on 10/8/24 I LOOOOVE this. It’s a perfect scent for those early fall chill-in-the-air kind of days. I’m wearing this soooo much right now & really enjoying it. I have to spray it everywhere, tho, if I want it to be even slightly detectable after a few hours. For the best performance, I make sure to moisturize my skin so the scent sticks longer & I put it on my clothes too. The next day, I can still smell a very light sweet scent on the clothes I wore, but it’s 100% gone from my skin. And, for what it’s worth, I discovered it layers nicely with KayAli’s Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli.

Guys, I bought it today! I read somewhere these are being discontinued, but my local Target was fully stocked with every Fine'ry offering. I'll probably buy the Cherry & Santal ones too. They're honestly so good for a $30 fragrance. I'll update again when I put "I'm a Musk" on one arm and "Another 13" on the other, and give you the real real. Notes listed on box: Musk Cotton Flower Sandalwood Ok, so I am back, mission accomplished. They do open much differently. IAM has a dill-like sandalwood and sweetness, while A13 opens with bright bergamot and juicy pear. However, once the drydowns are in full effect, I can hardly tell them apart and forget which arm I sprayed with which; the difference being IAM is slightly sweeter than A13. If you want to make your IAM experience even closer to the true A13 experience, layer it over Juliette has a gun Pear Inc.! There you have it folks -- the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Enjoy!

Got this perfume from target because I needed a break from my Juliette has a gun, superdose and Diptyque papier. Those are amazing rice, sesame, musk fragrances, but too high to be spraying the way I do. Took a nice hot shower with old spice vanilla and Shea butter body wash with an African net sponge. Then slathered myself in saltair saltwater and vanilla body oil. Then sprayed the perfume all over my body before putting on a nightgown. I guess I would say this was layering or simple body care, but it has been radiating off of me for the last three hours. I do not get pickles. I just get extremely clean, sweet feminine. But then again, I scrub my skin absolutely every single day TWICE a day so there’s no leftover sweat or oil. I also wash my hair often. And I do laundry at least once a week. so there is no space for the pickle smell, because my hygiene is top-tier.

My skin pulls a lot of clean laundry white musks with a tonka bean sweetness and saltiness. It is soft, nutty, and has a cologne like quality to it that makes me sniff it constantly. The fragrance projects intimately on me without lotion or oil, so much so that my boyfriend and my family told me that I smelled really good and is perfect for layering with Montblanc Signature and smells amazing layered with MixBar’s Coconut Palm. However, when I sprayed a little on my boyfriend, it smelled like fresh dill with a hint of musk. I think that if your skin chemistry works well with Ambroxan, then this a perfect fragrance to put on after a shower before bed, a date night indoors, or running errands during the cooler spring and summer to fall transition months.
