Eshal Musk

This is such an under-the-radar, beautiful fragrance. It’s been my summer obsession and is entering my permanent rotation. It’s subtle and clean but a genuine compliment magnet (and I’m old, so having 20 somethings stop me in the street to say I smell amazing and ask what I’m wearing is really unusual). It’s mostly a clean, sweet musk scent with light florals (to my nose the lotus and candied violet are the main floral notes with barely any jasmine or freesia) - it’s delicate and light so ideal for hot summer weather, working in a confined office or layering with pretty much anything that you want to add a little clean, fresh, sweetness into. I haven’t smelt Musk 12 so I can’t speak to whether or not it’s accurate dupe, but I will go ten toes down that (IF you like clean, musk scents) this is an incredibly safe blind buy. It’s pretty linear and doesn’t change much in the dry down, but it’s so beautiful - why would you want it to? It smells much more expensive than it is and the scent definitely lasts. As with most musk and/or ambroxan you may go a little scent blind the more you wear it but a) it’s light enough that even if you go crazy with application it’s impossible to choke out people around you (the scent bubble is close) and b) the sillage is great so you’ll catch glorious whiffs well up to the 10 or even 12 hour mark as you move or take off clothing at night. You’ll smell where you’ve been even when you can’t smell where you are (if that makes sense). A real 10/10. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. If you don’t like it message me and I’ll probably buy it off you!

It is a beautiful scent 😍 I was looking for something similar to Bal d'Afrique with less citrus and this came up. It really does have similarities. It is soft and beautiful 😍 i love it. But i already feel that this isn't powerful enough. This is probably skin scent. I must wait and see if people mention anything about it. I wish it was stronger. Can't really feel powdery from this. But i love that this isn't screetchy for my nose. I absolutely hate screetchy perfumes. I think it is safe blond buy ❤️😍

The initial spray opens with a strong blast of alcohol. It also lasts only about two hours, with rather intimate sillage. Either of those factors would normally be enough to stop me from buying a full bottle. But this fragrance brings me so much joy during those two fleeting hours that I ended up buying one anyway. I love layering it with Pure Musc Blanc by Narciso Rodriguez, as it dramatically improves Eshal Musk's longevity and projection without overshadowing its scent.

This is pretty. It is a very citrus clean fluffy fresh scent on me. This is what ive wanted all my other musks on me to be. Im sure its an on my skin chemistry thing as there isn't any lemony citrus listed in notes. But I feel its nostalgic and comforting and fresh all at once. I think musk can be very divisive. I do not get the carmel note but my skin eats sweets so maybe it disappears by the drydown. Its a dubyah for me.

I bought a few ml to try and I am so happy that I tried this freshness, this purity, this lightness, everything that a clean, airy, pleasant, fresh fragrance should have. After many perfumes, I can say that this one corresponds to everything I was looking for in that range of freshness.
