Matière Première Parisian Musc is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aurélien Guichard. Parisian Musc opens with Cedar, and dries down to a base of Ambrettolide, Musk, and Ambroxan. Matière Première's Parisian Musc carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Divisive but adored, Parisian Musc isn't your average fluffy musk. Some get green fig straight off the tree, others a clean, woody balm. Either way, it's a sophisticated skin-scent amplifier for those who want to smell chic, not sweet.

Its moderate sillage and soft, creamy musk profile make it suitable for office wear without being intrusive. The elegant and inviting character, often described as 'sexy' or 'chic', suits dates and casual outings perfectly. It's less suited for formal events due to its understated nature and not ideal for sport as it leans more toward sophisticated comfort than active freshness.

About

Parisian Musc defies its name by often presenting a dominant, vibrant green fig note, despite it being unlisted. This unexpected character opens fresh and leafy, then softens into a creamy, almost lactonic warmth. Virginia cedar lends a refined, dry woodiness while the trio of musks (ambroxan, ambrettolide, and ambrette) anchors the scent with a clean, deep, yet never overpowering, skin-like embrace.
