Smells exactly like the wet wipe I used to wipe it off my wrist.

The Musc smells very clean in a way that distinctly belongs to scented cleaning products rather than personal fragrances or even home fragrances.

It starts bafflingly milky and screechy at the same time, then develops into the smell of wet wipes: soft and somewhat creamy, very clean in a way that communicates "this should be used to clean something else" or perhaps even "remember to rinse your hands after use, please keep out of your eyes and away from children". The white musk specifically reminds me of Montblanc Signature, although the whole fragrance is a lot less sweet and less lactonic. In the drydown the scent gets quite metallic, then becomes an unremarkable masculine leaning freshie.

I was really excited about the beeswax note since I love the slightly stinky and sweet beeswax accord that appears in some Serge Lutens fragrances. Sadly here beeswax isn't really discernable.

While I love nearly all fragrances from Essential Parfums I will say this one isn't worth the price for me. You do not need to spend this amount to smell like an easily available cleaning product.
