A Soft Embrace of Musk and Sandalwood
Essential Parfums The Musc Eau de Parfum is a refined interpretation of modern musk, created by renowned perfumer Calice Becker. Designed as an enveloping and comforting musk, it combines fresh spicy ginger, aromatic lavandin, creamy beeswax and soft woods to create a fragrance that feels intimate, clean and naturally sensual.
From Fresh Ginger to Creamy, Skin-Like Musk
The fragrance opens with red ginger from Laos and natural lavandin grosso from France. The ginger provides a fresh, spicy brightness, while lavandin contributes an aromatic floral freshness that gives the opening an airy and invigorating character.
At the heart, natural beeswax absolute introduces a smooth, creamy and subtly honeyed quality. This is paired with Nirvanolide musk, creating the soft, clean and enveloping character that defines The Musc.
As the fragrance settles, Australian sandalwood brings warm, creamy and woody tones to the composition. The sandalwood gives the musk greater depth while maintaining the fragrance’s intimate and comforting character.
The result is a beautifully understated musk that sits close to the skin while remaining distinctive. It is fresh, slightly honeyed, creamy and woody without becoming overly sweet or heavy.
