The Musc

Ahhh, it’s so soothing and such a comforting scent! Perfect for easy, everyday wear. It’s a clean, creamy-milky, soapy scent to me, and I absolutely love it! The only caveat is that it slightly reminds me of that same icky scent from hair removal creams. It’s not a deal breaker, though, since it doesn’t overpower the overall scent profile and that fades pretty quickly. Overall longevity is strong for this one! This one is my favorite so far, or at least in my top 3 from the discovery set!

ムスクにほんのり蜜蝋のクリーミーな甘さが心地よい ベビーパウダーに似てる部分もあるが湿度高い真夏以外はオールマイティに使える 持続性は3〜4時間ぐらい 重ね付けにも重宝します。

Stunning and so easy to wear! And the longevity is just insane.. Today I went hiking and it was 38 degrees so it wasn't exactly graceful, then swam in the river and as we returned to the car, my friend asked me what perfume I'm wearing. I told her no way I still have anything on me and then I touched my neck and I could smell it on my hand.

As a man, I’m absolutely enchanted by this creation. Unlike many other laundry-inspired scents, The Musc actually smells like you’ve just pulled your clothes out of the dryer. You know, literally. To me, it doesn’t come across as a perfume at all - just the most effortlessly pleasant scent of clean, freshly laundered clothes. There’s something incredibly comforting and authentic about it. It doesn’t try too hard, doesn’t overwhelm, and never feels artificial. Instead, it just captures that simple, familiar feeling of warmth and clean clothes that is universally loved. What surprises me most is the rather lukewarm reception it has received. Scents in this genre tend to be quite well-received and in high demand. Quality and scent profile-wise, I would rate The Musc among the very best in the genre (based on the 40-50 laundry-inspired scents that I've sampled or owned). And not only that, but you can pick this up for around 50€ on second-hand markets - a fraction of what many comparable fragrances cost. I fail to see what there is not to love about this!

Too much musc-y powder-y for me to enjoy. I don't really perceive much outside of those two accords.

at first I hated this perfume, wrote it off as powdery and and when I sprayed it on my arm it meshed with the lotion I was wearing (honestly my mistake for combining two scents on accident) in a way that made me smell like old person to the point that I had to shower- mindlessly, I sprayed some of it on a piece of tissue and left it on my bathroom counter. Later that night I went into my bathroom and was absolutely obsessed with this aromatic clean scent and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from; that is, until I picked up the tissue and sniffed it again. The way this scent dries down allows the freshness of its base notes to step into the light and truly shine. I decided to revisit the perfume and spray some on before I went about my day. The opening remained incredibly powdery to the point I got concerned, but I waited it out anyways to see how it would develop on skin and not the tissue. Throughout the day I caught myself catching whiffs of the perfume and I can only really describe the aura it gave me as feeling like a proper lady. I am not really one for sweet and traditionally femme fragrances, but this fragrance landed at the exact threshold where I could enjoy it without being turned off or given a headache. At the same time, it was almost like I wasn't yet experienced enough to wear it. It wasn't that the powdery old person scent is what it remained, just that the perfume felt so sophisticated and established that it felt wrong to wear it on menial errands instead of a board meeting. Overall 8/10 for personal wear however I can see this easily being someones signature scent.

The perfect "clean" perfume; not in a soapy/detergent way but in a clean and tidy wood house where someone has been making beeswax candles and drying lavender. Dreamy, powdery in the nicest way. The beeswax and ginger make this smell warm, like a hot cup of chai latte, not the typical freshness of the other "clean" fragances. Feels perfect for every season, really lightwear for summer, and the lavender can feel floral; cozy and warm for winter, the smell is intimate and reconfortable. An everyday perfume that will make people associate you with the dreamiest and most calm memories.

very powdery at least at first, smells a bit like my grandma

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this. Yes, something pretty, but too perfumey for me, this reminds me of some scent that adults used when I was a child. Old fashioned, too powdery and brings me headache. I will give this a change later, and return to update if needed.

Obsessed with lavender recently... Previously hated note because of ysl libre. But now, i guess if its done in a creamy way instead of abrasive detergent way, i love it. This is a bedtime scent for me. What started my love for lavender is the cut from penhaligons. My next purchase would be sable lavande from adf line from chloé.

Clean, fresh musky scent that feels really soft and effortless to wear Very powdery, airy… gives that fresh out of the shower vibe without being too sharp Honestly feels perfect for mornings, clean outfits, or even the gym ✨ Performance for me was decent 👍🏻 Clean musky perfumes are usually not my type since I lean more toward warmer/deeper musks Also… on my skin the scent changed in a weird way after a while and I personally couldn’t fully connect with it, which is why my rating is lower Still think it’s really beautiful for layering though

bardzo czyste, na samym otwarciu doslownie imitacja liczi. nie jest to zapach niczym sie wyrozniajacy tak naprawde. czysta meskosc - klasyka. na skorze nie zanikaja, poprostu delikatnie kwaśnieją utrzymujac kremowowsc i delikatnosc. Ciezko mi ocenic bo to bardzo klasyczne perfumy. Sa poprostu okej ale mysle ze na upartego mozna wszedzie znalezc taki zamiennik

fancy hotel honey soap. maybe sunscreen oil

I had sprayed just twice before going to sleep but it was so strong that I had to change my top.

A fragrance for people that don’t like fragrances. I just smell dryer sheets and clean skin. Very easy to wear, but kind of boring after a while . Very linear. 6.8/10

I do not see it as a skin scent at all, nor as a clean or powdery scent. Most perfumes that carry "Musc" in their name are quieter and more intimate. This one has an average intensity level and projects pretty well. People describe it using the official notes, but overall it's hard to guess individual notes unless you see the pyramid in advance. I did not like it at first, but I still decided to spray it on my skin and wear it outside a shop. In 3 hours I started getting familiar lotion-like whiffs. Then the nostalgia for Crystal Noir by Versace hit me. The old formula of Crystal Noir has this mix of sour patchouli, coconut lotion and sweet sweat during sex. It probably sounds gross when I put it like this, but it was magnetizing. "The Musc" is not similar in an obvious way and it is not as good as Crystal Noir. At the end, I went on eBaу I purchased an old version of Crystal Noir. Dina_France (YouTube perfume reviews)

Smells like my ex lmao

I was so excited about this one, but I was so, so disappointed. I got a decant bc the notes looked very interesting to me. The reviews, even the more underwhelming and negative ones I've seen, describe it as a very fluffy, clean scent, many say boring. Not necessarily laundry clean, but more on the powdery, "clean skin after a bath" kind of thing. Well, I am in the minority I guess, but for the first two hours, the lavender and the ginger are very, very prominent, to the point of coming off as an aftershave. I don't know what is going on. I am gonna let it sit for a while maybe and come back to it after some time, but I wore it two days in a row and I get the same issues. Extremely prominent lavender and ginger for at least 2–3 hours, which is exactly when the sillage is the strongest. And along with the beeswax and the sandalwood, it becomes very annoying to smell because I feel it in the back of my throat. I wouldn't call it feminine-leaning in the slightest, it is 100% unisex, and in the opening, it leans masculine as well. The dry down is undeniably beautiful. The beeswax with the musk and the soft, powdery, clean feeling is so, so beautiful. But also, by the time we reach that stage, the sillage has dropped a lot. The longevity is amazing, I can smell it for hours and hours, but the sillage falls into a skin scent the moment the nice part starts, which is a bummer. The dry down is really, really beautifully blended, fluffy, clean, and everything nice, with the beeswax note making it anything but boring in my opinion. Again, I am gonna let it sit for some time and come back to it, but so far I am not impressed. I don't know if something is going on here, but the perfume is not as "round" as most reviews (positive and negative) say, again, at least on my skin and to my nose, and it's not linear either. The prominent notes change throughout the wear, and the sillage also fluctuates.

This smells exactly like stepping out of a hot shower. Not a generic “clean laundry” scent, but the unmistakable mix of freshly shampooed hair, warm skin, and lingering steam. It reminds me of walking into the bathroom right after my wife showers...the air still humid, carrying the scent of her argan oil shampoo and conditioner from her damp hair. Really unique and surprisingly realistic. Pure shampooed hair. I do not want to smell like this. For one, it's a bit too feminine-leaning, and two, it would get increasingly annoying throughout the day, not being able to escape the shampoo scent.

6/10. Smells like how everyone is saying. Powdery clean laundry though still has a slight natural flowery vibe. Not for me but definitely not a bad smell. Leans more feminine to me. Maybe even old lady territory.

Love love Clean chic and easy to wear

Fresh laundry but worn for hours and hours, mixed with your own scent. So tender in the most intimate way. 10/10, absolutely.

That was the first fragrance of this house I’ve ever tried. It does start with very powdery baby wipes scent which turns into a “quite luxury” cashmere coat type of cozy smell. The dry down is surprisingly more fresh and I feel more lavender kicking in with a slight resemblance to the purple Versus.

Sophisticated clean girl vibes. I get the baby wipes association in the opening but the drydown becomes very soapy, rich and classy. Not for me personally as it leans very feminine.

اخيرا وجدنا عطر سيء من هذا الدار رغم ان السيء عند هذا الدار افضل من الجيد عند بعض الدور الاخرى النوتات تحمس ولكن ليس لها وجود، الطاغي هي نوتة شفافه، ربع حيوانية، مع خليط روائح يصعب التعرف عليه فرديا لكنه تقريبا نوتة عشبية عامة تشبه التي في بوا امبريال بس تقريبا هذا هو العطر ليس سيء ولكن لا اعلم ماهدفه وما استخدامه. يمكن اذا تريد نسخة اخف من بوا امبريال عادي لاتحتاجه ولكن قد تريده اذا عندك ذوق تفصيلي ودقيق ٦.٧٥/١٠ - Finally found a bad fragrance from this house Though even a bad fragrance from this brand is better than a good one from some other houses The notes sound exciting, but they barely exist. The dominant accord is something transparent, slightly animalic, with a blend that’s hard to identify individually, though it mostly comes across as a general herbal note similar to the one in Bois Impérial And that’s basically the fragrance Not bad, but I don’t really understand its purpose or use case. Maybe if you want a lighter version of Bois Impérial Average You don’t need it But you might want it if you have a very detailed and picky taste 6.75/10

The Musc is clean, powdery musk from start to finish - and while I understand the appeal of a truly stripped-back skin scent, this one reads as entirely baby wipes on my skin with no evolution, no warmth and nothing to hold on to. If you stuck your nose into a pack of baby wipes you don't even need to get a samples of this

Soft milky musk with prominent beeswax note. Leans more feminine, a bit old school

The Musc is what I thought VCA's Musc de Soie was going to give me. It’s gorgeous. In an immediately disarming way, actually, where you smell it and go ohhh, that’s the one. It has this clean, creamy, skin-close softness that feels less like perfume and more like your skin right after being loved correctly. The beeswax is subtle without the candle chunkiness you'd typically get. It just adds this faint lotion-y sweetness, a soft little waxy creaminess that makes the musk feel rounded and tender. It isn’t sweet in a sugary sense, it’s sweet in a warm skin under lamplight sense. And the lavender! Such a smart touch really: it keeps the perfume from becoming too soapy or baby powder-like. It's dotted with a low herbal sleepiness, almost like the smell of skin after a shower right before bed, when the air is cooler and everything feels prim yet intimate. The Musc sports the clean of a person, not a product. Cozy, milky fresh skin. It's fuzzy in a very unannoying way, genuinely comforting. The scent equivalent of your sleeping lover's bodily warmth, softener-laundered sheets, tender nourished lips and not having to answer to anyone for the rest of the night.

Got a discovery set from this brand, and this perfume is my favourite! It's very clean, not overwhelming, not too lotion-y, just perfect. On me I can still feel it for about 5 hrs, and then have to reapply (others can still feel it though)

This smells so different on paper than on skin. My original impression was on paper but when I tested it on skin - whoa! My nose only really detects the musk and beeswax and maybe a hint of lavender but the fragrance just MELTS into my skin and becomes this beautiful, warm, addictive and comforting elevated skin scent that makes me swoon. It gives "sitting on a porch in the late evening summer sun, drinking a cup of honey-sweetened lavender tea, with a furry kitten curled up on your lap" vibes. I'm almost finished my sample and think I may have to get a full bottle. This is another reminder to NEVER judge a fragrance based on a paper sniff test and to always give it a fair chance on your skin.
