Pierre Guillaume Paris Le Musc & La Peau 4.1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Pierre Guillaume. Le Musc & La Peau 4.1 opens with Bergamot and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Le Musc & La Peau 4.1 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet adored, this 'your skin but better' musk is a masterclass in subtle sensuality. Some smell clean, creamy bliss; others, faint laundry or even vomit. If you adore intimate, comforting musks, it's a must-try - just be prepared for its chameleon-like performance.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

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

Le Musc & La Peau opens with a gentle aldehyde lift and a whisper of fresh rosemary before settling into its true character: a complex blend of musks embracing warm sandalwood and creamy ylang-ylang. Tonka bean and ambroxan add a subtly sweet, skin-like warmth, evolving into a soft, powdery, and persistently clean finish. It conjures a natural, comforting aura, like a cherished second skin.
