Mure et Musc

by Jean-François Laporte

L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1978, created by Jean-François Laporte. The fragrance opens with Basil, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Blackberry and Red Berries, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Musk.

Our verdict on Mure et Musc: Favourite

This one sparks debate. Some find it a 'seventies drugstore musk' or too masculine, others adore its innovative clean yet sensual berry and musk profile. It's a trailblazer for its time, but don't expect a powerful performance.

Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, fresh profile make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. While not a loud date scent, its subtle sensuality works for close encounters. The light, refreshing character makes it suitable for sport, but its elegance dials back its suitability for formal events.

About

Imagine a burst of crisp basil and zesty citrus, like a cool breeze through a summer orchard. This quickly mellows, revealing the star of the show: a natural, slightly tart blackberry note, not jammy or saccharine. It all rests on a soft, clean musk base, underpinned by a hint of earthy oakmoss, creating a fresh, almost soapy intimacy that lingers close to the skin.
