Silver Musk

This smells nothing like White Rose Egyptian musk - & it's not "simple" at all - the freshness of mountain air, in this definitely, + few herbs, a little mint, green tea, a whisper of woods & something that must be "silver" musk definitely - but oh so fresh, clean, & rather special - it smells great on my partner, but he thinks it smells so much better on me - & we both adore it. This is subtle, but present, & maybe deceptively simple - it unfolds, in hours; maybe wear it for weeks/preferably months - before dismissing it, this one. Like anything else, to produce something relative simple AND perfect - is v hard, & can be done only by the best at their craft - anybody can make a super complex perfume hide the odd flaw - but this is something else, personally, & it is flawless, I find; note I CANNOT bear, Black Afghan, or the dreadful Tuberose offering, of this House - but this is something so special. I don't think of it as masculine, particularly - it's such a clean, mountain air, musk - though maybe at first I thought the openings leaned a little that way - but it pulls feminine on my skin, always - whilst being incredibly sexy, & extremely masculine somehow; on my.partners skin (ofc he smells amazing in most fragrances, that is tru)e - but he is v picky about any, & this really suits him, he loves this - some similarities with Le Labo's Another 13, minus the Ambergris, in some way, I feel - & that is, another one that is amazing on him, these are his preferred type, by far) - but this has something neither of us hv experienced before, & it's very, very good. (Ofc - the less ppl who wear it the better, for us) - but I think if you can get a decent sample, it's interesting. Maybe slightly metallic early on - but just a hint - & lovely with it; that part of it isn't a "cheap" metallic problem, as you might fund in sine perfumes, this is deliberate, & the whole layered experience of this smells expensive, to the Nth degree; I find, espc on my partner, & it's a quite subtle, but completely intoxicating perfume, a few hours in; I could breath this in from the back of his neck, forever. (He likes me to wear this occasionally, but I think it suits him, so much more.) Just beautiful. (Edit) - "Fairy Liquid.!" "Gillette Shower Gel" ! - dodgy samples, surely?? Must be

So gorgeous, new signature scent. It's distinctly cool-toned and aptly named—most musks give off deep gold but this one is ephemeral, light, silvery. The best way I can describe the scent is that it smells like heat; the heat in the air after blow drying your hair intermingled with expensive shampoo, the heat coming off a clothes dryer tinged with detergent or steam pouring out of the vent of a laundromat, the heat coming off the skin of someone who's just had a steamy bath. Different than the aquatic freshness I've smelled too much of, it's a warm cleanliness, beautifully human. The way you always hope your skin smells. I find that people either don't detect it or they rave about it when I give them a hug—and it's always the chic people who notice it. I'm not one for sweet or floral perfumes, I edge a little masculine/unisex in my choices (other usual is CdG Amazingreen) and have been looking for a clean white shirt scent forever. I didn't want anything too men's cologne-y, too soapy, or too citrusy. I found this scent at a niche perfumery in Portland OR and wore it on one wrist for a day alongside a different scent on the other; by comparison the other perfume smelled trite and garish while Silver Musk felt like home. It's a stunning undertone when layered, too. I feel very protective of this scent, I hope it never gets too popular!

Okay so this was not what I was expecting at all. This is somewhere in between a very soapy and cottony musk. It’s is extremely clean, maybe one of the cleanest scents I’ve smelled. During its opening there’s a bit more going on than what you’d get from your average musk. To my nose I get a bit of rosemary, lavender and some black pepper giving it almost a fougere type of shaving cream smell. As it transitions into its base it turns almost entirely into a cottony musk direction with the slightest bit of tonka. I do get a bit of that bubblegum thing that you can find in Pardon. For me I do like it but it’s just extremely light! Too light for something I’d want to keep. A bit disappointed as I find gaulteiri went into the opposite direction than I was expecting. His usual bold style of animalic/diffusive musks is non existent here. This kinda fits in with the style more of molecule 1 than musks like Fredric Malle or le labo. I think unless you are looking for something extremely light you should steer clear. I went with 4 sprays that lasted all day on my skin but it was undetectable to my friends/co-workers Oh well... I’ve yet to have gotten that magical blind but yet 😤 Update: decided to keep, it’s grown on me a lot, It’s light but really great for any occasion type of wear!

Simply put... It smells like SILVER MUSK. If you don't like Musk I'm not sure what you're doing thinking if this one will be any different. It's pretty simple but done really right. It reminds me hypothetically of Prada L'homme and a Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir fusion. I can see how it could potentially be headache inducing but I think it's so clean and sophisticated it's difficult to dislike. Perhaps easy not to love but difficult to outright hate. I'll be using this heavy throughout on warm days. Goes well with any summer spring attire, suitable for business and a professional setting also. Probably even reasonable to wear in the gym if you're about that because of how expensive it is. This is probably a fragrance some will think is too simple because it can strike people as monotone, but sitting at a Cafe or by the beach on a nice day in a clean white shirt you'll turn some heads and attract a few gazes. I actually think this leans more feminine but could still be worn by men. THE BAD: Longevity barely got to 3 hours to my nose. Maybe 3.2hrs tops.
