Honey truly has some remarkable properties when it comes to perfumery. It can add volume to fruit, soften Oud-animalic notes, and provide a sensual twist or, as in the case of Just Musk, refine what is already a sensual experience.
Just Musk is dominated from the very first second by white, radiant musk. It feels almost clean, but far from trivial or sterile. It radiates a near-steel quality. With a slight shimmer. A being of light.
The set-aside nuances of light sweetness (benzoin), coconut, or even the white florals work here simply, yet very decisively, to highlight the radiant, indulgent aspects of the musk and celebrate existence.
Only the honey (and perhaps the cashmeran) are fully tuned into sensuality and wink at the musk throughout the entire duration of the fragrance. Conspiratorial. Somewhat demanding. Lurking.
Thus, Just Musk is a wonderfully successful musk fragrance that is especially suited for days with (lots of) sunlight. Because who wants to see the world? It travels on the skin and begins to live when it keeps wafting around my nose with the wind.
