Les Absolus d'Orient Musc Noble

Amazingly delicious fragrance, one of my favorites from the Les Absolus D’Orient collection. Yes it’s a bit dated, but who cares, this is sexiness and refinement in a bottle. The concoction is quite simple... lovely Roses, fragrant Geranium, and an amazing envelope of sweet Musk, zesty White Musk, and extremely addictive Aldehydes... truly one of the most alluring fragrances I have ever smelled. Regarding the musk, it does have a faint animalic bottom, but it won’t bother anyone, it’s just delicious and alluring. The rest of the notes are not distinguishable on their own... from previous reviews I expected to smell the Saffron, but I really don’t, and I don’t miss it, this perfume’s scent is perfect just as it is. I just wished performance was as great as the scent, but it ain’t... projection is intimate from the start, and longevity is just a couple of hours, constant reapplying will be required. I have a couple of perfumes from this collection, and sadly they all have the same lousy performance. Musc Noble is unisex slightly leaning towards women, some additional woods or synthetic molecules would make it lean more manly. Better suited from mild to cold weather, for me Musc is too complicated of a note to wear on warm days. For some reason I find myself wanting to add some sandal and vanilla, or spices and vanilla, perhaps one of this days I’ll try one of those combinations, maybe even both, and update this review accordingly. This parfum could’ve easily been one of my favorites if it only had better performance.

A sophisticated blend of musk, amber, and wood notes, evoking an alluring warmth with a touch of floral sweetness that captivates the senses. My journey with Musc Noble began in the Guerlain Boutique at Galeries Lafayette. I was on the hunt for a scent that really spoke to me, trying out about 10 of them, four on my arms, but nothing quite hit the spot. I wandered around for a while, and suddenly, one of those fragrances on my arm just kept pulling me back. It was addictive, almost unfamiliar in a good way. At first, I couldn't pinpoint which one it was, but the longer it lingered, the more I found myself falling for it. So, I went back to Guerlain and bought my very first bottle of Musc Noble. I reserve it for special occasions; it's not an everyday scent for me. While its initial notes might not have been my immediate favorite, the heart and base notes unveil an unparalleled beauty. The middle notes weave a tale of opulence and allure, captivating the senses with their intricate blend. Yet, it's the enduring embrace of the base notes that etches an indelible memory. Musc Noble Guerlain isn't just a fragrance; it's an experience, something that evolves beautifully on the skin. It might not have been love at first sniff, but now, it's become an essential part of my collection. Its enduring presence is simply remarkable.

I am so glad l got it. This is how perfumes should smell - in terms of quality, naturally. There are so many notes and so many facets in this composition, the beginning is a fresh rose mixed with some very airy aldheides (i was afraid when reading aldheides in the pyramid: fear not, they're so small and well blended you barely can tell... they're needed though, to give lightness). This rose becomes more sensual and deep, almost oriental, a hint of rose-aoud combo with a sapient mix of spices, some leather and amber. If you inhale deep there you will find a skin musc. Its barely there but it makes you feel at home. It smells relaxed luxury. This scent is called Musc Noble but it's about a rose. It makes me feel good. It's a sensual perfume but fresh at the same time (even if these 2 terms are oxymorons). It's present but not loud, can be worn in many occasions as it's not offensive. Longevity is stellar (12 h plus) and on clothes even more. Is it worth the 125 Euros? Yes it is. You get a real fragrance with really quality ingredients, niche level. Way better than many other mediocre designer fragrances that are priced the same. Now i have to get the other Absolus....

I love this perfume so much !! But It took time to realize that I love it. At first I didn’t like it very much, but I bought it. The beginning of the smell reminds me of a hair spray for setting. Then it became kind of barber smell on my skin. Its musc scent lasts long on my skin. If I wear it before going to bed, I can still smell it when I get up. Especially, I adore this dry down. I think it’s cozy musc. Barber cozy musc ?? I don’t smell any rose. A vendeuse told that it was a strong perfume and she used it when she wanted to go out at night with a dress. But, I think we can wear this perfume whenever we want. This is poor projection on me, but it is cozy sophisticated...However, when my friend tried it, she told me « you really like this perfume, are you sure !? I cannot believe it !! » she likes flowerly Scent, so people who like flowerly might hate it. Anyway, thought it took time to like it, this perfume is amazing !!

I am starting to dislike this forum a little less in a good way. The reviews are addictive and I find myself saying every day "take my money now". Now I will have to buy this perfume as if I need another freaking bottle of perfume. The bottle alone makes it worth it. Lord have mercy on my wallet! On my goodness right after posting this above, I went and ordered this from FXNet because I was afraid they will be out of it soon. The price was more reasonable than the expensive department stores. Oh, I couldn't just order one, I had to of course buy Idylle Duet Jasmin-Lilas also. What is wrong with me? Edit - received it this week - awesome fragrance for mature adults. You have to wear this on special occasions, too nice and strong to waste on just any day. I cannot wait for the others to be available from FX for me to purchase them. This is definitely a must have in your collection if you are a fan of powerful scents.
