Musc Pure

I received some samples while ordering some home fragrances (a pleasant surprise for a compulsive perfume collector). This fragrance, like others from this house, has a very powerful opening. It reminds me of air freshener sprays used to quickly cover up unpleasant odors. You need to give it a moment for the notes to settle on the skin and in the air. However, it's not for me. Perhaps it needs more sandalwood for my taste. It's worth noting that Officina delle Essenze formulations are different from anything else I'm used to.

Musc Pure is all about musk. On initial spray the fragrance overwhelmed me with its intensity but within a few minutes it settled nicely. As I said, this fragrance is based on musk which dominates the composition. Within the first 2-3 hours I could also smell oak moss and spicy sweet thyme which was a very lovely surprise. Musc Pure lasted more than 12 hours on my skin and projected with above-average sillage; other people did smell the fragrance on me when they passed me. This is a good unisex fragrance that would suit men and women equally well. It is classic, yet modern at the same time without trying to be a hipster fragrance. Musc Pure is great for everyday wear, office, leisure, etc, but not for special occasions.
