BORNTOSTANDOUT Filthy Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Margaux Le Paih Guérin. Filthy Musk opens with Musk, Honey, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Jasmine, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Ambroxan, and Civet. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Filthy Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its animalic sweetness or find it utterly repellent. "Filthy Musk" is no misnomer; it delivers on its promise of a raw, musky experience that's definitely not for everyone. Expect extreme reactions.

When To Wear

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date

Given its strong sillage, animalic nature, and comments about it being 'addictive' or 'nauseating', this scent is best reserved for intimate date nights where its seductive qualities can shine. It's far too intense and potentially polarising for a controlled office environment or casual daytime wear, and certainly not for sport.

About

Filthy Musk opens with a bright, syrupy blast of pineapple and honey, quickly giving way to an intense, sweet-yet-dirty musk. Hints of jasmine and nutmeg weave through, adding a touch of floral spice before sinking into a deeply animalic base. Here, civet, rum, and ambergris mingle with caramel, tonka, and vanilla, creating a fuzzy, boozy, and undeniably sensual dry-down that lingers for ages.
