Musk of Flowers

I'm a big fan of Mancera fragrances so I jumped on an offer to buy Musk of Flowers at a really deep discount; less expensive than many designers and their fragrances perform extremely well and kick like a mule on my skin. Plus, I have three grown daughters who love borrowing stuff from my Scent Armory when they visit, along with gal pals, so what the heck. I love smelling Musk of Flowers on the ladies. Although it has a somewhat typical sweet, floral, fruity, musky vibe that has been done thousands of times before, MOF has excellent performance while maintaining a smooth, quality allure. It lasts 12+ hours, almost fills a room when first applied, and leaves a nice scent trail for 4-5 hours before becoming a personal scent. I mainly get white floral, musk and a dark rose from this scent that is wrapped in a blanketed of fruity-sweet sugar accords. Loud white floral and/or rose fragrances are often difficult for me to handle, but I liked this one immediately....but ladies, be careful on the trigger because this fragrances performs well and one or two too many sprays can take you from smelling Babe-a-licious to smelling like, "...that annoying perfume lady." For example, one spray (just one) of Vintage Kouros under my t-shirt and I'm being told how great I smell, while three sprays of Vintage Kouros on my exposed skin and people are wishing me dead. One or sprays of Musk of Flowers under the shirt/blouse is plenty. Overally, I really enjoy smelling this one on the ladies and it seems like versatile fragrances...just as long as you go easy on the trigger.

I'm going to just go ahead and leave the least helpful review ever. This smells like my first grade librarian and makes me think of Carole King singing Chicken Soup With Rice! The scent of this was like getting walloped with a cotton baseball bat of a memory! I don't know what ms librarian 1986 was wearing but I have been looking for something that smells like it literally ever since. Here goes more vague unhelpfulness: I smell flowers but I don't know what kind, definitely NOT carnations but with a spicy edge that's like carnations. And then the drydown is a hint of that floral mix perfectly blended with rich musk, clinging to the roof of your mouth feeling, thick and lovely. Sadly this is totally muted on me! Faint and skin-scent and done after a couple of hours. I think that's just me though, lots of scents that are known for big projection and longevity are just not that way for me.

Love it! I blind bought Musk of Flowers after much research and I was even more impressed by it when I got it. It is more of a sophisticated floral with a bright openning rather than a girly fruity floral scent. If you like fragrances such as Gabrielle Essence, Jadore Absolu or Jadore Infinissime then you might like this. It has a bit of a sweet, golden,musky feel to it. It is very versatile and could be a signature scent. I get over 8 hours on my skin and longer on clothes. Projection is about an arm's length. I bought this and Choco Violet together and I find I'm reaching more for Musk of Flowers (although they are very different fragrances). I would rate it 8/10.

The opening is a burst of white floral and citrus, very pleasant, very spring summery feel, then swiftly joined by soft powdery Musc. The dry down reminds of a floral scented bar of soap and of powder rooms in vintage restaurants... there is a hint of metallic that replaces the citrus. The floral quality lingers. The scent lasts very long on my skin but the sillage is so-so. It’s a nice floral skin scent to add to my collection and quite the value for the price (considering the niche quality. Impressed!

This is a pleasant floral. It's light and feminine. If you like the typical bright floral fragrances with a touch of elegance, you will like this one. Not too strong but not weak. You're not going to choke people out, but people will smell it if they hug you or make it their business to sniff you. It's a floral that most people would agree smells good. Simple but has that floral magic that makes it quite nice.
