Musk 07

Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive scent, Parisienne is either a chic, playful rush of berry and vinyl or a headache-inducing synthetic mess. Love it or hate it, YSL's gamble on a "plasticky" rose scent certainly sparked debate.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Musk 07 delivers a potent, clean musk that some absolutely adore for its fruity-floral charms, while others recoil from what they perceive as sharp, synthetic screechiness. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.

Its moderate sillage and sweet, flirty character make it suitable for dates and casual wear. While some find it office-appropriate due to its mild projection, the unique vinyl note can be polarising, making it a risk for formal settings.

Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile for casual wear and dates, as some find it alluring and a compliment-getter. However, the strong, sometimes divisive opening prevents it from being a safe bet for formal settings or an office environment.
