Poudre de Musc Intense

Holy moly, folks! I can't get over this one. It is so, so beautiful! The first time I sprayed it on my hand, a single spray, I wasn't wow-ed but I did like it. Once I decided to douse myself in it, I was completely blown away! The perfume came to life. As gourmandnotes below put it - it is indeed ethereal! Like nothing I have smelled before, it is powdery but not in an iris or violet kind of way. I think there is some powder magic going on between the aldehydes, hawthorn, and this incredible musk. I will admit, I have never smelled real deal musk but this musk is not like the white musk of modern day. The animalic quality is there, especially in the drydown. It is so harmonious with the powder accord Patricia so deftly put together. If you love powdery and/or musky perfumes, you must give this a try. Longevity is stellar, the sillage will have others trying to track you down.

This is one of the prettiest musk perfumes I've ever smelled. The opening is a gorgeous blast of creamy pink roses and orange blossom sprinkled with soapy aldehydes that settle into a bed of fluffy white musk. Raspberry (not listed here) is present and adds a bit of demure sweetness. The notes are perfectly balanced and the scent isn't too soapy or too powdery. It conveys warmth, clean sensuality and elegance. Anyone hugging you would be delighted to smell this. It's a versatile perfume, easy to reach for in any season or climate. A terrific addition to Patricia Nicolai's two other gorgeous musks: Musc Intense and Musc Monoi.
