What We Do Is Secret Covert Musk is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Annick Menardo. Covert Musk opens with Acacia and Honey, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk. What We Do Is Secret's Covert Musk carries a Statement verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's a proper chameleon - sometimes a clean, soft musk, sometimes a dusty, sour affair. It's divisively powdery, with some finding it sophisticated and others, well, a bit boring. Don't expect a power-player; it's subtle to a fault.

About

Covert Musk opens with a fleeting whisper of sweet acacia and honey, quickly giving way to a powdery, musky core. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy, yellow floral nuance, but it's the warm, clean musk that truly defines this scent. Some detect a slight spicy or even sour undertone, others a comforting, almost baby-like softness. It sits close, a skin-scent through and through.
