Oh, it´s Camay
Many thanks to Culyj for the sample!

My first Mazzolari that I got to test unfortunately led to a small disappointment! Don’t be mad if I say this right away: on my skin, Musc is a boring scent.

So, why is that?

1. It has no scent development on my skin (OK, other fragrances didn’t have that either, but I praised those to the skies), which can sometimes be an advantage, but in this case, unfortunately not.

2. It just smells like soap! Don’t get me wrong, I like soapy notes when they are well done. Not that this soapy note is bad, but it simply smells like a soap memory from my childhood, and nothing else.

I only vaguely remember the commercial, but the key phrase of this trailer was at the end "Oh, it’s Camay". The person was testing soaps and was surprised by how creamy the lather and how clean the scent was.

And just as clean as after a wash with Camay, Musc smells. Not bad, just boring.

Background:
In 1888, Augusto Mazzolari founded his first shop in Milan. He had the talent to create Eau de Colognes for his discerning clientele. This tradition and passion was passed down to Augusto's son Ferdinando, who opened a women's salon for his female clients and developed further unique fragrances.

Scent:
Musc starts with a hint of spices, it could be, among others, white pepper. Yes, it was that tingling in my nose when using the pepper mill ;O)

What is truly remarkable is that after a short time, this spiciness develops into something light and fluffy. However, I also sense a touch of soapiness. It somehow evokes childhood memories… Grandma's linen closet and in the middle, the LUX soap. Whether there were different kinds, I can no longer say today. But it always smelled clean, soft, and I preferred to hold my nose in the towels. Well, Grandma wasn't always so thrilled about that…

Of course, I don't want to forget the musk. It is present in a timely manner, gentle and simply cuddly.

Conclusion: A clear yet mysterious scent for lovers of white musk.

Cold, Clear Musk
“Musk” by Mazzolari is noticeably an EdP, distinct and thick. Fine blend. Minimalist and curveless. But even more noticeable is a shy, creamy musk powder scent, which you can find similarly and much cheaper at The Body Shop…

Actually, almost every major line has a bright white musk fragrance in its repertoire. This is Mazzolari's (successful) attempt. Only those who know perfumes like “White Musk For Men” or “Silver Musc” first know what to expect and that one doesn’t need to write essays about this type of scent. It always reminds me a bit of marble, of men’s makeup, of the iris I love dearly - just less floral and flowery, a bit more masculine. Although, of course, it’s always quite clearly genderless. “Musk” is straightforward and a gray eminence. Italian high nobility. Almost a bit chlorinated and chemically pure. Rocky and pore-deep clean. A clerical lime stripe.

Bottle: tall and very simple
Sillage: a subtle musk scent
Longevity: 6 hours, then it’s overcome

Conclusion: a straight-up musk, quite humorless, dry and cool. It does what it was created for. White and versatile (if the wearer is).

Background Soap Opera - Foreground Plastic Bag...
... and alcohol. Of course, alcohol has to be there, where else would the scent go? Or into a carrier oil, okay. Whatever, what's in is in, and here it's in alcohol. But I have to keep a clear head, otherwise I'll just write nonsense.

Well, eventually this lousy perfume helper fades away and makes room for a spicy plastic bag scent with a slightly piercing quality. Plastic bag? Is the alcohol affecting me now? Goodness, get a grip, Chilly.

Okay, I take back the plastic bag and replace it with spice from... maybe Maggie? Goodness, I can't define it.

The musk has been mixing in from the start. It powders and sweetens quite cozily, but it has its love for the bag's spice.

And that's it? Oh man, I was so looking forward to the scent and now this... Nothing is happening for me anymore, it's musky, baggy, powdery, and soapily lingering on for hours.

What a shame, you Mazzolari, you... this isn't going to work between us. Although, if you could just come out of the bag a little more and show some hoof, I'd like you better. But unfortunately, I just don't have enough time for your detours. Admit it, you're still a bit baggy.

Complimentary
Musc.. rather an unassuming name and an even more unassuming bottle. However, the content is not to be underestimated!
Musc smells spicy at the outset and then transitions into a complimentary powdery something!
A clean fragrance! It feels calming and unobtrusive to me! A great feel-good scent, not necessarily suitable for going out!
Book, tea, blanket, and Musc... perfect!

XOXO, Mona

Gentle clean scent. Nice for chilling. Laundry detergent & powder. Fresh, clear, pure, and bright. Surrounds me like protective arms.

One of the few white musk scents with decent longevity and sillage. The light citrus notes are also present. I like it.
