Clair de Musc

The angel's glance, which one all our sense gets it round. Stakes everything on one card, onto the musk. This component, which gets into the fragrances with synthetic production already today, is used in many perfumes, and gives the basis generally. The tickets do not separate from each other on the other hand here, and immediately sensible. Feature, that persistently, and nourishes the role personifying the femininity long, that my big surprise in placement like this does not make heavy. At the time of blowing my attention the refreshment in him the lemon touch of bergamot keeps it interested first, which is easy next with a veil, is buried in the soft tameness of the iris. From this the creation receives cleanness when we live our sweet dreams again at the time of an awakening, as reality. Than when the eye more purely, more sharply, and sees everything in more full colours. The charming celestial being's creamy dazzle is not over yet because the flowery one is quiet to a sound, joins now the neroli lace. This translucent and white dusty decoration showing skilled hands, as a bright edge weaves the vanilla mirror decorated with the smoke band of the santal, which the keeper known by the dream holds up to me. The mood continues in the mirror, and colours, the fragrance gave rise to it the row of pictures, while does not become quiet the strength of the musk. To feel this kind salutation of his the life long yet unforgettably, and for the beautiful one. The strength, and the energies of indomitable dynamism are not here on a sign. This is an angelic greeting. In affection to be our seed, which gives inner calmness in the cooler days, and restful rocks our tired mind to sleep, ... than today, made this with me.

The first time or two I tried Clair de Musc I felt like it was just another classic white musk and was too similar to The Body Shop White Musk smell (among others) that we all know so well. I found it hard to justify the price when there seemed like so many similar options out there for a much smaller price tag ......but now I feel differently. I rarely wear it because I have way too many perfumes but each time I do, I find it more beautiful. And yes it does smell similar to many other classic white musks on the market but this one is extra special. It is so beautifully done. Not screechy or cold, it is smooth and comforting. While clean, it isn't TOO clean like that stark clean white linen smell...it has a slight woody earthiness to it. It is a classic powdery iris white musk but somehow doesn't feel as stark and cold, or sour, as some of the others. It is slightly sexy and the kind of scent most people would find appealing and not obnoxious or intrusive. I grow to love Clair de Musc more and more each time I wear it. I have tried countless white musks in the floral white musk category as it is one of my favorite smells and find it to be superior to most of them. For what reason I can't quite put my finger on. It just feels more complete or something. Longevity on me is fantastic, can still smell it the next day. Clair de Musc doesn't really smell like "perfume". It is fairly casual and not something you would choose for a formal outing or anything like that. It is more like a comforting scent when you want to simply smell nice and not intrusive or distracting.

I'm always slightly embarrassed to admit this is an all-time favourite of mine, as it isn't challenging or unusual-smelling and doesn't perform well for the price point. Regardless, this is probably the single best "clean" musk fragrance out there in my opinion, and I'm glad that after 2 years of loving samples I've finally pulled the trigger on a full bottle. Clair de musc is an exceptionally well-done musk scent without any kind of hard edge or discordant note. Many musks can be just a tad too abrasive, a little too soapy, or just smell slightly "off" in a hard-to-describe way. Clair de musc isn't dirty to me, but is somehow still much less sterile than Jovan's White Musk (also a great scent but hyper-clean). For me, CdM beats all the other clean musks: it's cosy and comforting, professional, and soft. Every element feels truly balanced but the smell is certainly well-blended; it would take an exceptional nose to actually be able to pick out iris and neroli from this cloud. It's perhaps because my mother only ever wore musks (though never CdM specifically), but clean musk fragrances to me are often evocative of white-shirt workers who have their lives under control. I don't actually know if the fragrance has been reformulated since the transition to black label bottles, though I do have samples from both eras and find the current (black label) scent to be perhaps marginally sweeter? It could easily be my imagination though. Longevity is only around 5 hours on me and it's a very low-sillage skin scent after an hour. Can be sprayed with abandon, however.

Musk is my favorite note. it will not come as suprise, i love Clair de Musc with all my heart. it has all the "right" notes for me and nothing wrong. i dearly love it and want a bottle. two years ago, i smelled soapy ntoes in the opening here and dismissed the scent because i dislike soapy. now, ismelled those soapy notes 2 seconds, they were gone and i was left with a gorgeous musk that is åprobably my perfect musk, i have ordered two spray samples and there wasnt' this soapy note there. indeed, i was blessed with loveliest musc. it is clean, but not laundry clean, it is rather natural and warm clean,. soft, skin scent, fits into my "perfect musk" and my "perfect perfume" cathegory - a perfume that doesn' smell like perfume, instead, it smells sensual, good, smells like skin, like a woman, like my scentless body cream on my warm skin, but better. i do love it. no sweetness here, which is a good thing for me. powder, drykind of scent. not much flowers to my nose, which is also a goos thing to me. it does have old school vibe, especially in the opening, i do recomend to test it. it reminds me a lot of avon soft musk, which i already have and like, so i am not rushing buying a bottle just now. but one day, i will have this beauty in that beautiful bottle. much softer and more neutral as Body Shop white musk. it works well as a relax scent to me, get me to sleep scent, as well as scent for those ocassions i am not suppose to wear any perfume. beautiful. for all musk lovers.

Blown. Away. I have fallen deeply in love with this beautiful fragrance. I went a bit overboard recently, going on a perfume buying spree - seven bottles in one week - and while I'm still waiting for one more to arrive, there is not a stinker in the lot. But this! I can't explain why I find it so captivating, but I could honestly say that I would be happy to bathe in it. Powdery, but not too powdery, slightly sweet, with just enough floral delicacy to pretty it up, I find the addition of neroli to be inspired because it cuts through what could have been an overly sweet and powdery mess. It has easily risen to the top levels of my favorite perfumes, no mean feat given the size of my collection. I don't know if there is any difference or a reformulation, but I snagged a bottle with the old beige label. Two of my other favorite masks are Lutens' l'orpheline and Chanel's 1957. I love both of them, but Clair de Musc is most definitely my favorite. Leans feminine, with intimate to moderate projection. I can't speak to the longevity yet, as I'm still getting to know it. Many have spoke of dupes or ones that smell similar, and I certainly have no reason to doubt them, but for me I have to say that I am very happy to own this one in all it's original glory.
