Musc Eternel

Powder scent, yes, but I do believe it’s a bit different than some of the other offerings in its category. It isn’t completely linear the way many “powder bomb” type scents can be, the tonka bean is dominant in the base which I feel prevents it from smelling stale/overdone. I don’t think of this as being a “grandma” scent in the slightest. Too often reviewers flatten the entire category into a singular stereotype without acknowledging the difference between styles of powder scents. There are certain facets to those “grandma” powdery scents that do not make an appearance in Musc Eternal, namely the extreme sharpness and cosmetic powder tendencies. I really don’t get a baby powder vibe from this either, it reminds me of a powdered or glazed donut. Depending on your tastes, I can definitely understand why someone with a large fragrance collection might consider this overpriced, especially if you’re one to constantly be on the look out for highly complex and/or dramatically evolving scents, but this could easily become a staple for those who prefer a more curated collection and want an elegant fragrance that isn’t too harsh. Sillage and lasting power are impressive for the category, I think. I’m picky with fragrances, and seldomly move beyond just a “like”, but I really love this! I disagree with the Soavissima comparison as Soavissima is much more iris forward and vintage inspired in its composition. I’ve yet to try Teint de Neige, so I have no notes in that department, but I think I will get a sample soon just to compare. Edit: Teint de Neige does smell extremely similar, however the rose note and aldehydic aspects are much stronger in the opening, leading the fragrance into the “grandma” territory that has been prescribed to Musc Eternel. Musc Eternel is definitely more balanced, but the dry downs are practically identical side by side.

Very much enjoying my sample of this and considering a full bottle. While my colleague described it after smelling the sample as "unexciting", I find this tonka musk combo to be absolutely beautiful. I don't get much iris beyond the short opening I put this on in a rush and ran to do rounds at work and 3 nurses just gathered asking "ok, what is that perfume you're wearing!!?", they found it stunning and took pictures of the Fragrantica page ;D Performance is great! very long lasting on a cool spring day, projection is above average. It is just not "sexy" if you are a man, it is on the sweet calming side, feelings wise. Can only recommend it.

my fav of all the Misensir musks (which are all good!) it is for the musk lovers, and powdery iris lovers, and those that want some extra oomph out of their musky skin scents it is not quiet, it does project and creates a musky bubble, but that rose opening and sweetness of tonka in the base and some je-ne-sais-quoi are just making it extra special looking at the "similar to" I do get the comparison with Suavissima by Profumum but this one is a bit less heavy on the iris and a bit less retro. i love the both but I guess I'd go for the full bottle of this one among the two

Sweet radiant musk with beast protection and lovely powdery (also a bit nutty) aspects. I can definitely feel the signature base created by Alberto Morillas, because for me it’s very similar to the one I’m getting from Rubinia Bvlgari. Even though Rubinia is much darker and more balsamic. I can definitely see the similarities. I like it! It’s very soft and comforting, and quite feminine for my taste. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

this is a worm hug of a child to his mom, this is a smell of a baby you adorer, this is when you never want to say goodby. On a personal level this is the smell of my 24 year old son who was brutally murdered on the morning of October 07 2023 returning back home from a pease and love dancing festival. This is my pillow smell wet from tears. this is the purest love there is
