Coty Wild Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1972. Wild Musk settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Coty's Wild Musk carries a Statement verdict, a musky-led wear.

Coty Wild Musk is a divisive beast. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean, warm hug. For others, it's a weak, powdery disappointment or, worse, a 'poopy diaper' in a bottle. Reformulation has done it no favours, with many pining for the powerful vintage juice.

Its poor longevity and intimate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or as a bedtime scent. While some find it office-safe due to its closeness, the potential for a 'dirty' musk note could be risky in formal settings. It's often described as a 'skin scent' rather than a stand-out fragrance.

About

Wild Musk opens with a soft, powdery embrace, swiftly followed by a sweet, slightly indolic jasmine and classic rose which add a gentle floral lift. The dominant musky core, occasionally 'dirty' or 'animalic' for some, melts into a creamy vanilla dry down that settles close to the skin. It’s a clean and inviting scent, with an underlying hint of spice and warmth.
