Musk Pure

Classic white musk made pure and heavenly. Kinda perfect actually. As a lifelong musk fan I have tried countless options from drug store to niche even more pricey than this. For what I enjoy about white musk, TF nails it. Smooth, creamy and addictive. Not too screechy and laundry or hairspray like and it doesn't smell dated as white musk sometimes can. (SL Clair de Musc for example. I own it and find it very pleasing but feel self conscious wearing it around others because it really does smell a bit dated and The Body Shop White Musk like.) This doesn't smell like that to me. It just smells good and not really like "perfume" but like a clean and sexy skin scent. Lasts hours on me as well. No longevity issues whatsoever. It isn't supposed to project either, it is musk. Musk should be an intimate scent. Musk Pure lives up to its name being the most pure musk from the white musk collection. And for a simple classic white musk, it may be the fairest in all the land.

OMG wow. This is how musk should smell! Seriously the best kind of soapy, it's powdery, buttery, comforting kind of soapy musk that smells so luxurious. Best muks shelf right away - if it weren't soooo expensive! Pretty bomb lasting power too. LOVE it! I guess the honey adds to the oomph and sweetness but no real honey smell. I'm going to need to buy a scent that is similar to this without the price tag....if anyone has some good musk samples to swap (from bottle good too) hit me up, I have a tonne of samples to swap! (UK only) LOL AI picked up on that one urinal cake comment :D Well it does smell a bit of baby wipes - the good kind. But I love it :) Not sure what a urinal cake smells like but if it smells like this I'm rubbing it on :D

I can't believe the comparisons to Jovan and Alyssa Ashley! This is SO much more complex and interesting. 'Pretty' it is not, 'addictive', it is. I wouldn't even categorize it as a 'Floral Woody Musk'. It's got a much sharper edge to it, more Oriental, or even a Chypre. Incredible lasting power, too, which helps justify, somewhat, the outrageous price. Only the Montale Aouds can compare in intensity and strength. I was hoping Urban Musk would be equally intense with a little skank added, and I had high hopes for about the first 15 minutes. Then it pretty much disappeared, alas. Otherwise, I'd be out another $160 bucks.

I have a bottle I bought while travelling to New York in 2012 (along with White Suede and Noir de Noir) and I still have about 10ml left. It’s my favourite musk. Metallique has a similar opening but gets sweeter and has much weaker performance. I just received 35ml in decant and it’s the same and so darn beautiful. The only musk I like that is anywhere as nice is Mizensir’s Elixir de Musc (which is more Irisy and unisex leaning). I’m ecstatic to have more of it back in my life as she is beautiful ❤️

Soapy and sweet but really beautifully done. My wife and daughter told me that I smelled like I just got out of the shower in a Disney World hotel. It does have the high end soap smell but it starts to incorporate both the honey and musk as it drys down. The longevity on this is insane. Although the sillage drops to a skin scent after about 2 hours, the smell is still there about 12 hours later. I really enjoy this one and can see it being worn year round as an overall feel good scent.
