White musk with a flaw
At first sight (sniff?) this is a nice, simple clean white musk, reminiscent of fresh laundry, soap and body cream, cozy and fresh. It has that good old drugstore musk vibe, which I prefer over many modern, niche-y takes on musk.
Unfortunately, at a second glance, there is a weirdly musty note in the background that reminds me of wet cardboard. I tried this fragrance three times on my skin (like basically everything I review!) and even another time on a blotter, and I always get to that offputting note at one point. On my skin it's amplified, but it still exists on paper. I know this phenomenon from some woodsy vanilla fragrances, but smelling it in a musk scent was new to me. If you know what I'm talking about, be careful with this one. If you never got wet cardboard from any perfume, I have a feeling you're safe and will enjoy this, provided you like creamy, clean musks obviously.
It's a bit of a shame because the rest of the scent is pretty, but honestly, it's also a rather common scent profile, there are so many white musks out there that it doesn't matter if one of them is not that great.
