Musc Ambre

It's ambery, musky, feels like a something from a haircare product for men, not in a bad way, but a hairspray or hair gel with a nostalgic musky scent. You can't tell individual notes except for the musk, smell that stays linear - but if it had a colour would feel like an ambery "brown" . I feel like this could be better suited to a man, not sure why a man in his 50's-60's and it could be a little bit sexy on him too , like a pleasant deep skin smell with musk. Clings to t-shirt or clothing better than the actual skin. It's DEFINITELY not Jovan White Musk, that's a different smell altogether if you needed something to compare, it's not it,you would be able to tell immediately it's not the same, but not bad for the price if you wanted something clean-ish not overly feminine, unisex, musky that stays close to the skin/clothes, but can't imagine teenagers loving it, more suited to 40-50-60 age groups.

It took a car drive on a rainy day for this one to show me just how pretty and sparkling it can be! This came as a pleasant surprise, as it didn't seem that great the first week - quite pleasant, musky, but nothing much. How to describe the impression it made on me today? Like a combination of white musk edt, with a white soap of the best quality... Maybe it's meant to be kept for rainy days?

Yellow floral is the first note you feel and then the talc. Finally the musk, which is not so present because the talc overlaps. A memory of tuberose is far away. I can say that it is not a romantic floral like roses but a happy floral. The powdery musk in this case, lights the part of the brain linked to memories and things that have passed. Like a hair spray expired.

This is a very cheap dupe for TBS white musk. Sillage is minimal but with poor longevity. Only lasts for 2,5 hours for me but the bottle is a practical 30ml and it's dirt cheap so it's still a win in my book. I'd rather buy this than TBS White Musk because the latter also only lasts 2 hours on my skin and it's much more expensive.

This corresponds to its name perfectly because it’s musky, and that’s the main note you smell all the way. If you aren’t into musky fragrances, this is not a thing to start your journey with: musk here is potent and you better be a fan. Because of the abundance of musk, this reminds me a bit of Demeter’s Kitten Fur – yet JA Musc Ambre is not as warm and animalistic. It’s more clean and powdery musk, even soapy in the opening. When you first spray it, it feels like you have just emerged from the bath and have just wiped the suds off your squeaky clean skin. In a couple of hours it transforms into musky talcum powder with a very light flower scent, continuing the feeling of cleanliness. Nice enough, but I don’t feel any bergamot or vanilla, which both of them I like and would welcome. UPD: The traces of vanilla are lingering in my hair the next day, but I cannot detect it earlier, it's totally overpowered by musk.
