Summer Musk

Summer Musk?
Sounds paradox? Can't be? Not possible?
Not possible, doesn't exist. Actually, one can consider CK be as the classic representative of a summer-appropriate musk fragrance, but Costume National's version is much, much softer and gentler, a feather-light hint of cozy freshness. Those who haven't tested it have missed something.
In fact, the scent is beautiful from the very first second on the skin.
And if it weren't explicitly called Sheer Eau fraiche, one might think it too weak, as the sillage is thin, and if you're used to heavy hitters or lemon bombs, it might feel like too little for the money.
But for those who want to perfume themselves in a Japanese - or even just a tactful, environmentally friendly - manner, this is a good choice for the (at least theoretically) hot season. It's a self-love cuddler. A fragrance that makes you feel good and largely leaves others in peace. The jasmine in this scent is so pleasantly non-punchy that one really suspects the weakest form of it (jasmine tea) has been used. The musk doesn't smell soapy; you only feel a light, clean freshness in the base.
The scent for cloud 7 and all who like to linger there.

Unusual jasmine is nice, usually it overwhelms you. Adding to my wishlist!

Interesting, I couldn't get excited about the CN fragrances. Musc Blanc by Les Senteurs Gourmandes, on the other hand, is a dreamy little scent, yum. Jasmine vase for Nelly.

Unfortunately, I don't know that one, just Musc blanc by Rancé, and it's not nearly as cozy and beautiful as this one.
