Amber Musk

This is my favourite fragrance today. It smells like my skin but better. People say that it is very clean smell, very neutral, and I disagree. The mix of creamy sweet musk and spicy amber gives very sensual sexy smell like second skin, like the smell of warm skin while making love. When I smell it I imagine the woman that puts on her man's white shirt after having sex. I would call it, this smells like the skin of the lover. It is very similar to Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume Superdose but Montale Amber Musk has more creamy sweet smell on my skin. Not a Perfume smells more woody. But you should be ready that Amber Musk doesn't smell intensively, this is very intimate smell but stays on the skin quite long time. But what is more important for me I smell it all day and it helps me to feel more feminine, sensual and sexy.

This is a light airy ambroxan fragrance similar to Molecule 02. Sometimes you smell it sometimes you don't. I was hoping for something along the lines of Honey Aoud or Aoud Musk... oh well. This will be a great layering fragrance IMO, especially since my Molecule 02 is empty. I got a great deal on a 100 ml bottle of this so I am happy with it... DO NOT PAY FULL RETAIL. I don't think that it is Full Retail worthy due to lack of sillage or longevity. Try before you buy.... otherwise, Enjoy!

I’m a big fan of Juliette Has a Gun, Not a Perfume, and this one reminds me of it, but with a powdery vanilla twist that I absolutely loved. For me, perfumes that melt into your skin and enhance your natural scent are a must in any collection, perfect to wear on their own or as a layering base. This one feels intimate, comforting, and subtly sexy but the Longevity it’s poor.

I really hate Montale fragrances - they’re insanely strong beast-mode scents, annoying and too much. But this one is a miracle! It’s a beautiful skin-scent, yet its projection and sillage are very good. You can smell it on yourself all day. Skin scents usually don’t work well on me (for example, I don’t understand the hype around Another 13) but this fragrance is excellent.

This is by far my favourite musk scent in my collection. It’s an easy to wear slightly powdery white musk and amber scent blended to perfection. You can smell this on clothes for days and you’ll get around 8-10 hours on skin. If you can find this in discounters for 60 or less it’s a no brainer, this is one of very few bottles I need a back up bottle for.

This reminds me the mist of my favorite Juliette has a gun Not A Perfume regular and superdose. I love the ambroxan so much as it’s one of the more unique notes in the world of fragrance to me. It’s so spicy and sharp where at the same time it’s smooth and well rounded. It’s perfect to layer with so nether citrusy or tropical.

This fragrance is some sexy sexy stuff. I wish there is a house that makes this exact another 13 DNA but on steroids. They all seem to be so light and barely be able to smell it an hour after spraying. But my god is this scent so indescribable. There’s no words other then get it. Your gonna love it.

It's less pungent and warmer than JHAG Superdose. But it's more vibrant than Not a parfume. Very cozy and warm, it doesn't shout about itself, but you feel at your best in it, winter or summer.

Smells just like JHAG Superdose but a little more.... fecal. Can easily go in a disgusting direction depending on your skin. It's a dry skin-like powdery amber-y synthetic musk.

This is a subtle skin scent with great longevity and just a touch of sweetness to go with a warm earthiness. I love it by itself or layered with practically anything I own.

It's like JHAG with Montale Dna. That's about it, it's inoffensive but everyone knows you smell good. Very simple yet very inviting. I like it more than JHAG

My go to comfort scent.Simple clean and sweet. Smells like Not a Perfume, but with more depth. And it lingers all day. 8.5/10

It's really good. It's basically a more potent mix of molecule 01 and 02 with added musk.

@Arida lol it's the alcohol that holds the perfume oil

Upon purchasing and first wear (direct from Montale) I was disappointed. It smells very nice but similar to so many others on the market with similar DNA (Kirke I’m looking at you) and after 20min I couldn’t smell it at all. I had received a 30ml spray with purchase of Blue Amber that I actually preferred much more. I set Amber Musc aside for trading or resale and forgot about her. Fast forward a year and the nighttime temps are starting to cool. She sits with other Amber frags in my collection and I needed something light for a close quarters appt today. What could go wrong with a barely there Amber Musc? Boy was I wrong. I had an anesthesiologist get all up close to ask what I was wearing and as I sit her 10 hours later I can still very much smell her. She does open with a bit of alcohol but it evaporates quickly leaving behind a very unobtrusive powdery amber. I’m convinced that letting this one macerate for a couple months is a benefit. If you are looking for a light Amber frag with enough Middle East vibe to make an impact but not to overpower a room this might be your scent.

I second MatchaCat saying that this smells like cat forehead. It's a soft musk. Comforting and not screechy. Musky and slightly powdery and a hint of sweetness. Smells like tucking freshly laundered blankets under your angel baby's chin and giving them a kiss on their perfect little cat forehead. It's that clean, slightly powdery cat forehead smell with a hint of something else (maybe your shampoo or laundry detergent in the background) that you can't quite put your finger on. All you know is the experience and smell is so good. Kind of reminds me of Commodity Paper (-) but the strength and longevity is way better. That being said, this is not a super powerhouse type fragrance. It's soft and not loud but it's strong enough that you can enjoy it when you get whiffs throughout the day

Bury your face in cat's fur and breathe in. This is what this smells like. It's a very lightweight and airy synthetic musk with just a hint of amber sweetness. It's basically a second skin smell, very subtle. If you want your skin to smell like more skin, this is the one. Composition is simple, two notes really, amber and musk, but it works. I don't see how this could be so repulsive to some because it's so lightweight, you barely notice it's there. It's easy to wear and office safe, in my opinion. I get zero powder from this. It does smell like makeup foundation but it's not powdery. I just wish the notes were more amped up because you can barely smell this perfume. Unisex. Smell: 7 out of 10 Longevity: 7 out of 10 For reference, I'm female.

Nice skin scent, very similar to JHAG. It’s very very light. There are days I can’t smell it much, and some days I smell it more. It’s beautiful musky, ambery scent with a a touch of cedar - one of my favourite notes. It’s smooth and powdery at the same time, there are no sharp notes that I dislike. I used to hate skin scents but now I like light perfumes to wear for bed, to gym or doctor’s office. It’s not offensive.. it’s barely there... most people won’t even notice it. I have to say it’s a bit stronger than JHAG but I like Amber Musk more. Because it has this interesting note of ambergris. Also, it’s nothing like Another 13. Another 13 is soo strong compared to this, and completely different scent profile.

I just finished a sample of this fragrance. It took me quite awhile since I have a large collection. Despite having it for a year, I didn't get rid of it. It grew on me. I thought it was just ok at first. But I enjoyed it the more I wore it. It's a lovely musk but with Montale's DNA added. That DNA takes what could be a boring perfume and elevates it to an unique musk. I won't be running out to immediately buy a full bottle but if I find it for a good price, I would probably purchase it. Projection: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Overall Experience: 7/10

Amber musk is a nice offering from Montale if you want a Montale that's not super strong at all..Amber musk is it's name entirely.. Amber..& musk..it's light & non offensive.. acceptable from fall to spring & maybe even on a cool summer's night..& even though it's light it lasts quite a while. I got this with 4 other Montales I was curious to try..I found this nice but it wasn't full bottle love for me..try it out deff. if you like amber & musks I don't think it'll disappoint..very nice scent, but again a bit of a pass for me though.
