Musk Is Great

Zimaya Musk Is Great is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. The fragrance opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Musk.

Our verdict on Musk Is Great: Acquired

Musk Is Great is an absolute Marmite of a scent. Prepare for a harsh, synthetic, and metallic opening that many find repulsive, but if you can push through, the drydown offers a clean, creamy, animalic musk and sandalwood that's often described as addictive. Absolutely not a safe blind buy.

Given its extreme projection and powerful longevity, Musk Is Great is definitely not for the office; you'll overwhelm colleagues. Its sensual and somewhat animalic musk makes it better suited for dates or casual evenings. The divisive opening and strong character might be too much for formal settings, and it definitely lacks the freshness for exercise.

About

This scent opens with a burst of sharp bergamot and mandarin, quickly giving way to a prominent, sometimes screechy, musky core. It features a rich blend of floral magnolia and fruity blackcurrant, which eventually settles into a creamy, powdery base of sandalwood and a strong, animalic white musk. It's a journey from abrasive to understated luxury.
