Un Musc

I would have purchased a full bottle but for the fact that, within minutes, Un Musc disappears from my skin and even clothing. It’s the most gorgeous fragrance, but I do expect even a skin scent to hang around for longer than it does. It should be called Un Musc disparaît. Again, whilst I acknowledge that the sillage is meant to be discrete, and there are days I want a close sitting fragrance, where I can still enjoy it, without sharing with those around me. I take issue with Un Musc’s longevity, which is so poor that even when worn on a warm day, on well moisturised skin, and on my shirt, it simply vanishes. I’ve worn it in different temperature, on rainy, dry, windy and calm days. In Musc just doesn’t perform. I don’t think that anosmia is the problem for me with Un Musc. I own JHAG’s Not a Perfume shower gel and fragrance, and have no problem with the longevity or light sillage with it nor with Molecule 01, which both last longer and are still discernible to me on my skin. Neither are as lovely as Un Musc, hence my willingness to have bought this if only it had better performance. I hope that the team at Obvious do something to increase the longevity of Un Musc, because it is beautiful. I also admire their ethos of using recycled products in the packaging, which can then be recycled again by the consumer. I also appreciate their attempt to use natural ingredients where possible, but they need to focus a little more on the quality of the actual fragrance at this point.

Upon first spray I don’t like it but on my skin I’m obsessed. I’m pretty into musky/skin scents but I have a hard time finding ones that work on me. I’ve been searching for something that gives me the same feeling as Musc 25, and although they are completely different in their notes, this gave me a similar feeling on me. I like how unisex it is and I like that it’s sort of peppery. I don’t get soapy or clean at all, seems more warm and spicy skin. Maybe it’s the ginger (I always seem to gravitate towards scents w a ginger note). Anyways, a versatile warm skin scent for $66 is hard for me to say no to. This will definitely be a staple in my rotation and I’ve been layering it w a bunch of other scents.

This is an amazing unisex clean sexy musk. I sampled a few other “minimal” musk fragrances (Juliette has a Gun Musc Invisible, Mad et Len Red Musc) and this was by far my favorite. It’s not too powdery, as the other review said, and it’s just slightly soapy to me—but not enough for that to be the dominant effect. The vetiver shines through to me, though everything is very balanced. I could see anyone wearing this as an effortlessly sexy everyday scent, even if it’s on the minimal side. It definitely has subtle sillage, but it’s the kind of thing you could spray on your clothes and go about your day without worrying about offending anyone. I bought the full bottle and I know I’ll wear it lots.

Love it! I’m so into musk recently and this is a wonderful simple musk scent. It doesn’t really work as a fragrance because to be honest, it is a transparent skin scent but surprisingly last a very long time on my skin, about 8-9 hours. Although it’s skin scent, I keep getting whiffs occasionally for the whole 9 hours duration especially when the wind blows. It’s the same type of scent as the Molecule 1 & 2 but more detectable at least to my nose. I love to use it when I walk my dog or run errands on the warmer days. I also love layering it with other fragrances when I want to add musk to them.

My first impression was solidly “this is ok.” My husband said, “this is ok.” But every time I catch a sniff of it on me, I’m happy. It’s warm, it’s a little woody, I’m cozy & clean & relaxed. UPDATE: I gave Un Musc another chance, and OH MY GOODNESS, I am entranced. I love the slight citrusy-freshness in the opening, and its clean musky aura is just heavenly throughout. A love. (my husband still thinks it's just ok, haha)
