Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Un Musc opens with a subtle zing of bergamot and ginger, quickly settling into a soft, inviting heart of earthy vetiver and amyris. The main event is a warm, clean musk that feels like a second skin, nuanced by a delicate sweetness that keeps it from veering too sharp or synthetic. It's a comforting and airy scent, blending smoothly into your natural aura.
