L art et la matière to make pay expensive Price for nothing
tested today through a miniature bottle.

Rather disappointed with the perfume, I expected better from a big brand like Guerlain and considering the price.

a rather feminine and spring-like flowery fragrance.

this fragrance is really banal the white musk barely stands out, nothing to do with gucci by gucci oud or white leather.

in fact it smells as if we had broken the stem of a green flower and we could smell the sap inside.

MUSC OUTRE - BLAND!
Generic. Basic. Meh! Snoozefest in a bottle.

It opens with a citrus blast so sharp and dominant, you'd think you just walked into a fancy hand soap commercial. The neroli and orange blossom lean far more tart and zesty than soft or honeyed. They don't bloom, they bite.

Now, the iris is quite lovely. Fragile, transparent, milky-soft. And the musk? Lotiony, fluffy, the kind that smells like expensive moisturizers. Comforting? Sort of. Memorable? Not even a little. And for this price? You must be joking. There's no anchor, no depth, nothing to sink into. Even worse, it tries to be elegant but ends up veering into cheap cologne territory thanks to that screechy citrus up top.

As I waited very patiently for the drydown (with the hope of a sandalwood miracle), I kept repeating my perfume prayer: “Please, sandalwood, save this scent.” And to its credit, the base is a little better. The sandalwood shows up. Alas, not creamy or dreamy, more like pencil shavings. But hey, pencil shavings are wood, and wood is good. It adds some backbone at least.

The iris lingers, more powdery now, giving the drydown a soft, dusty finish. Unfortunately, the musk takes a weird left turn into “sour skin” territory. Not animalic in a sexy way. More like someone wore this to hot yoga and skipped the shower. Slightly sweaty, a little sour... and very much a dealbreaker. Does it sweeten a touch as it fades? Yes. Is that enough to save it? Absolutely not.

Even N°5 L'Eau Eau de Toilette — yes, that shampoo-water flanker — pulls off the clean-musk-citrus vibe better than this.
Final verdict: No. Just noooooo. As a Guerlain lover, this one hurts. A pale, overpriced musk.

Jovan Musk receives a pricey facelift
As a big fan of the venerable, cheapie classic Jovan Musk, the similarities between that and Musc Outreblanc were shocking. It's quite unlike Guerlain to make something so basic, but I suppose every rose has its thorn. There are some obvious differences between Jovan Musk and this, namely the price tag, but none of which justify the drastic price difference. Nevertheless, I have still enjoyed my time wearing this fragrance. Musc Outreblanc opens up with a bit of a harsh, soapy note that is blended well with the neroli. It's a fresh and breezy opening that has the feeling of clean, white linen on a cool spring morning. The heart of the fragrance does introduce just a touch of powdery florals, but they're sort of basic and just smell 'floral' in general. There is also a touch of sweetness introduced in the middle. The dry down adds in some woodiness while keeping the soapy notes from the beginning, creating a nice, simple fragrance that isn't overpowering or offensive. One point I should mention though, is that the floral/sweeter side of this fragrance really comes out on skin. On fabric it stays on the more woody/fresh side of things, which does give it some interesting dynamic. I personally preferred the way it smells on my skin!

If you're a fan of the original Jovan Musk and want to try something a bit different, I'd say this is a safe bet, but it isn't worth it in my eyes. Compared to the other L'Art & la Matière fragrances, this one just doesn't feel as interesting or unique, which is certainly off-beat in terms of Guerlain products. Nonetheless, I do still find this to be an enjoyable scent that manages to be a very simple and safe option for a clean, fresh fragrance.

My thoughts on this clean musc
I've been wearing Guerlain’s Musc Outreblanc for a while now, and it’s become a real staple for me. It’s a musk fragrance, but not in the heavy or animalic way you might expect. Instead, this one is incredibly elegant and clean.

The scent itself is very refined. It smells pure and sophisticated, almost like the idea of the color white turned into a fragrance. It’s soft and doesn't shout. When I wear it, I just feel very confident and put-together. It’s not a loud scent, but it has a quiet presence that’s very reassuring.

In terms of versatility, it’s excellent. It’s subtle enough for daily wear, even in an office setting, because it’s so clean and inoffensive. At the same time, it has enough elegance for a special occasion, like a calm evening date where you don’t want your fragrance to be overwhelming.

Now, for the performance. The longevity isn't the best, I'll be honest. On my skin, I get about 4 hours where it has some noticeable projection and sillage. After that, it becomes much more of a skin scent. You can still smell it if you're very close, but it won't be projecting out into the room.

To sum it up, Musc Outreblanc is a beautiful, sophisticated scent for someone who values elegance over raw power. If you’re looking for a fragrance that lasts all day and fills a room, this probably isn't the one for you. But if you want a clean, versatile, and confidence-boosting scent for daily life and quiet evenings, it's definitely worth checking out.

The Cumulus Cloud by Guerlain
At the beginning of my fragrance journey, I smelled Musc Outreblanc in passing at the Guerlain counter, shrugged my shoulders and thought: "Oh, nothing special, just clean and fresh."

Months passed and on another visit to Guerlain, the woman behind me bought the large bottle of Musc Outreblanc. Curious, I smelled it again and was ... shockingly in love. But also confused. Wasn't this the fragrance I had misjudged back then? Had my sense of scent changed so much over the months? I tested the miniature that came with it extensively and each time I wore it, I fell more in love with this beautiful, unsweet, white musk fragrance.

For me, Musc Outreblanc is bold, elegant and pure.

If Musc Outreblanc were a color, it would be, as the name suggests, white (not warm white, but ultra white).

If Musc Outreblanc were a cloud, it would be a fluffy cumulus cloud.

When I wear Musc Outreblanc, I feel strong and protected.

But I also realize that the fragrance is not as pleasing as I thought at first. My niece once said dryly during a hug: "You smell funny!". I'm sure she would have liked Bianco Latte better, but maybe that's also down to age (at the tender age of 8, I couldn't do anything with perfume either).

Today I went back to the Guerlain counter and bought Musc Outreblanc with a smile. Thanks to the unknown woman from back then who gave me another whiff of this fragrance.

Musc Outreblanc is a fragrance that I have never specifically looked for, but have always secretly wished for.

This is a stunning musk. It opens pure fresh and clean and develops a light creaminess. Perfection.

This is more of a L'Heure de Nuit on my skin than L'Heure Blanc. Interesting and fragile scent, can't imagine it works in winter. Spring yes

Citrus hand soap, shy iris and lotion-y musk trying to play elegant. The sandalwood can’t save it; wood is good, but this is just bad! Meh!

Just a basic fresh neroli/iris floral. Not big on women's scents but I feel like you can get something 90% similar and pay 10% of this.
