Matiere Premiere Parisian Musc EDP

Description

Parisian Musc is Aurélien Guichard's modern take on musk, built around ambrette seed (musk mallow) rather than the animalic musks of old, brightened by Virginia cedar and bound with Ambroxan and Ambrettolide Supreme. Reviewers who like Le Labo's Santal 33 for its clean, skin-close cedar-musk often land here too, though Parisian Musc leans greener and less smoky.

Scent Character

• Woody: 80%
• Sweet: 20%

Translation: a woody-musk composition, cedar and ambrette leading with only a soft sweetness underneath, clean and modern rather than animalic.
