Moscado

This is a true gem for clean/soapy notes addicts. I would never tell by the name , colour of the packaging or the notes that this would be immediately placed at the top of my ranking for clean citrusy not so quiet luxury fragrance. Amazing! My summer hit! Bought a full bottle after testing in F&M. It is a rounded, sophisticated and a very italian expensive hotel smell, just out of the shower in fluffy voluptuous cotton towels feel. It vaguely resembles well known Melograno by Santa Maria Novella, but way better: less dust - gentle powdery citrus with a distinct summer breeze - very airy and classy. I full heartedly recommend it! As a “clean/soapy notes” junky IMHO I know many perfumes in this range : Penhaligon’s Cousin Flora, Scent Journey Lido Life, Marseille Soap, SMN Fieno/Melograno, Profumum Roma Acqua Vita - and I mean not a washing powder note clean, but summer breezy shower/ citrus clean, without any hint of cleaning products citrus. I would imagine Lora Piana should have smelled this way - if clean citrus could ever be compared to luxury , then that is it. Price is high but the quality is impeccable - the wafts of heavenly clean fluffiness is with me for 4-5 hours, nothing that suffocates or irritates me in it even in heat 30+C. Thumbs up for this creation by Gael Montero. The most surprising thing here is the name, notes and story behind it: I would expect something much heavier and oriental. Instead, thank goodness, I get the scent of my summer dreams.

In a nutshell, this perfume smells like an ultra luxurious soap. It opens clean, airy and softly opulent. It has that refined, freshly showered elegance you would expect from a high-end boutique hotel; velvety white florals, creamy musks and a smooth radiant freshness that feels both comforting and sophisticated. It is the kind of smell that feels effortlessly expensive, polished and quietly indulgent. I am so happy to have discovered this beautiful gem of a perfume as I am a sucker for clean scents. Furthermore, the bottle is a piece of art as are all the bottles of this brand.

Very seriously on my 2nd bottle since summer - total drunk in love with this one! Patting myself on the shoulder for finding the unique scent with best (for me at least) combination of timeless class and agrumi in a cloud of light soapiness, with amazing sillage that seems no one to have or know. It is also my 2nd review of this bellezza. Just occurred to me as a description of a scent : if one of you - Chanel 22/18 lovers - would be mandatorily sent to finally shower with a Sicilian lemon soap - that is what you would leave in a trail after exiting a luxury hotel bathroom.

I’ve been diving deep into clean, musky fragrances and this is probably the cleanest scent I’ve come across. It smells like fresh hotel bedsheets and Dove soap — ultra-smooth, musky, and comforting. Less creamy than Musk Therapy but with slightly better projection. Very easy to wear and feels quietly expensive. If you like Gentle Fluidity Silver but don’t enjoy the gin note, this sits right in that lane. Simple, refined, and effortlessly clean.

An elegant, feminine, and well-balanced fragrance. It opens with subtle accords of spices and citrus, reminiscent of delicate tea-like nuances. The sillage remains noticeable for quite some time, before the composition softens into a more powdery and creamy character. Enveloping and refined—a beautifully classic perfume.

Powdery, fresh, slightly soapy with some warmth. Can't smell the incense. Feels like a refreshing delicate hug. Refined Dove Soap as mentioned before definitely explains it well. One of my favourites right now, a distinctive, elegant scent without being pushy or overpowering. I can imagine this very well on a man too.

for those who dont like showers this is perfect

Yes, definitely a refined Dove soap! All the reviews below combined is the perfect description. Brilliant performance, amazing longevity on skin, a bit plastic-y, and it envelops you in a cloud of feel good silky-ness..but for the price, I can't justify smelling like I've stepped out of the shower and put on a premium body lotion even if that's very much my vibe. This doesn't smell perfume-y or feel like it's trying hard so I see this being the perfect fragrance for someone whose vibe is exactly that..and if you have the money to spend on a perfume version of a luxury bath+body lotion, absolutely go for it.

This is a citrusy sweet, but super clean fragrance. Think of the most expensive soap you've ever smelt. It is incredibly luxurious scent, and it is clean without being too simple and basic. Its a musky, sweet, powdery, citrus delight. Main issue I had with this is that it barely lasts an hour. Overall this is a clean, soapy sweet scent and smells like what I want my house/bathroom to smell like, it very much gives “room spray” vibes. Not sure it's refined enough to be a fragrance.

as a musk lover, this is great. smells like bubble bath liquid. clean and soapy in the literal sense of the word. smells like being in the shower rather than just stepping out of it. i really like this. it’s not as complex as i’d expected, but nonetheless it’s still amazing on skin

Reminds me a nice soap. Clean, fresh, light, not sweet, not complicated. I think it's very good for those who don't like perfumes. Lasting all day on skin and even longer on clothes.

Smells exactly like baby powder to me! The tangerine note comes through more on my boyfriend, but I find this scent quite feminine and I really like it :)

Moscado is a tribute to Marco Polo, the great explorer who donated his knowledge, his experiences in a then unknown part of the world, to his homeland. Richness, singular traditions, products whose existence was not even known... So I expected a rich, oriental, even an exaggerated fragrance, in reality what is celebrated in this creation is simplicity. Moscado is an olfactory composition that smells clean, it is moderate, simple and elegant, as if it were a veil of silk touching us. Ideal for the warmer seasons, for those who love intimate, feel-good fragrances with notes that envelop you almost like a soft, white cloud.

I expected a musk with animal-like with spices depth, but it is actually a very clean, slightly sharp metallic scent, like a soap or body cream. I blind bought a full bottle and would like to resell it.

Dove bar soap, a luxury version of that scent. A "so 800s" perfum, nostalgic, spicy but also futuristic in some way, some plastic, some metal... It could be a Princess Leia essence, or somethig you can smell into a space ship at saturday night. Remember me also Old Spice in some way and Balenciaca pour homme 1991. But finally I get it: Rive Gauche, reminds me that. I adore it. Also the others of this line are so good.

As soapy as it can be. After first few minutes it's everything my nose detects. Expensive (or not so) soap. I guess it's Bulgarian Rose that has this effect.

Very soapy, with a vintage feel to it. Honestly, I did not expect so much soapiness, but I like it a lot.

Did it just say "ass" as one of the fragrance notes in the description?
