Musc Eau de Parfum

Molinard Musc is a perfume I gifted to myself for my birthday in 2019. It was also my first touch with the great and old house of Molinard from Grasse, France. What attracted me the most about Musc was the affordability of the brand and interesting notes that seemed like they would be right in my alley. Here are my 5 quick takes: - The best affordable woody oriental niche perfume on the market - A complex and rich composition with a sublime performance - Created in 2015 as a part of Matieres Les Elements collection - Recommended for leisure use during the colder months - Fragrance enthusiasts will love it but could be challenging for casual wearers. Harsh top and middle notes I liked and enjoyed Molinard Musc. It offers something else for perfume connoisseurs, and you owe yourself to at least sample it out.

Lovely stuff, highly recommended even to the musk haters since this is a quite interesting experience. The nag champa, head shop in cornwall, hippie association is obvious but why not? I love it quite a lot and it gives a much more enjoyable edge to musk. After a pretty brief opening note of citrus and jasmine, the scent becomes a lovely skanky sexy musk, with sweet undertones of vanilla and amber. Patchouli here is pretty huge but it's so lovely (and I'm not a regular patchouli fan) and so sweetly well blended with everything else that's impossible not to fall in love. I have many perfumes from Molinard and I've never been disappointed: they are doing what a quality brand should be doing, creating simply brilliant work.

I agree completely with the nag champa incense. The smell of a head shop or hippie vinyl record store. My hubs said "It smells like grape cotton candy in Bob Marleys dressing room." The opening has a grape fruity note. It moves into the nag champa phase quickly and there even was a brief sour metallic almost cat pee note that I endured. It wasn't off putting oddly enough, just strange. Then the drydown which pretty much just smells of incense. If you missed the summer of free love and daisy headbands then this is for you. It's groovy hippie juice.

I read a review of this fragrance on a Facebook group for fragrance lovers and it was referred to as smelling like a "head shop." Growing up in a liberal, college town in the late 60s early 70s left me with a love of fragrances reminiscent of that era. I blind bought this (my first blind buy ever). I could not wait to put it on once it arrived and it was love at first smell, which lasted maybe thirty minutes, and then nothing. I absolutely adore this fragrance but I am going to have to figure out a way to make it last on my skin.

Molinard is an amazing Niche House with high-quality fragrances for an affordable price. I recently discovered it and I am in awe. Musc is a unique take on Musk's fragrances. Smells deep rich and balsamic like a boho Indian Shop from the ’90s. Longevity and sillage are outstanding. Not a crowd-pleasing kinda fragrance but definitely for those who love unique niche-like scents. My goal is to buy every single one from the Collection Matieres Les Elements. This shows how much I am deeply impressed with Molinard. @deepgreenbeauty
