Maison Mona di Orio Musc is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Mona di Orio. Musc opens with Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk and Tonka Bean. Maison Mona di Orio's Musc carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Many find it gorgeously soft, clean, and unique, evoking expensive baby powder or lotion. Others find it overwhelmingly powdery or too subtle, vanishing quickly. It's a love-it-or-hate-it musk for the ages.

About

Musc opens with a delicate neroli kiss before diving into a powdery heart of heliotrope and shy rose, reminiscent of fine cosmetic powder or sweet almonds. The drydown settles into a soft, comforting blanket of vanilla, tonka bean, and a subtle, clean musk. It's an intimate, skin-scent experience, ethereal and warm, with an underlying animalic hum that adds depth.
