Our verdict on Modern Musk: Favourite

A divisive scent that some adore for its sophisticated musky floral profile, while others find it cloying and not as complex as hoped. If you appreciate a strong, sweet floral with a musky backbone, it's a fantastic, high-value blind buy.

About

Modern Musk opens with an unexpected, almost juicy sweetness, a burst of bright mandarin and grapefruit fused with peach and a hint of creamy toffee. This vibrant start quickly softens into a powdery heart of classic rose and delicate violet. The dry down is where the 'musk' truly emerges, a clean, earthy blend of patchouli, oakmoss, and a prominent, elegant musk that lingers on the skin, offering a sophisticated warmth that some perceive as high-class.
