Very helpful Review 2  
no musk, maybe sandalwood?
Unfortunately, there is no musk in this scent or I can't perceive it.
This perfume smells very strongly of sandalwood, I think, I have no perfume training. It is not bad.

I also cannot perceive thyme.
Just as little as oak moss or vetiver.

It is warm and soft, almost delicate, but again has this
super longevity, like all the fragrances from this company.

Basically, I can only advise to never buy these fragrances blind.
Better to pay for a sample first than to pay too much tuition.

All fragrances generally have super super longevity. They are at 40% concentration.
That is already
extraordinary, such quality. Here you can still find really good perfume for normal money, so not too expensive or too cheap.
But please test first. Otherwise, great for sandalwood lovers.

Musk-Free
Somehow, I feel like I'm facing a white wall with this fragrance and can't get any further. I search in vain for the musk that the name Musc Pure promises. Aside from the fact that no real musk from the musk deer has been used here, I don't even perceive the creamy artificial variant. OK, maybe as background noise, but I must admit that I have no idea what white musk is or how it should smell. Everything that pushes forward here are rather feminine floral notes. Somewhere between iris and lilac. Unfortunately, neither my area of expertise nor my favorites. Oak moss and sandalwood also turn out to be absolutely shy, even though they could theoretically be lurking around the corner.

No, I personally do not warm up to Musc Pure. Not because it smells bad, but because it annoys me that I am misled by the name. Furthermore, it irritates me that some perfumers and manufacturers take the easy way out by declaring their products as unisex. Yes, I get it - in principle, all fragrances are somewhat unisex because they can be worn by both men and women. But there are fragrances that are quite feminine, and that's just a fact. And having some orientation is quite helpful. I certainly do not want to wear Musc Pure (even though I have already worn it for a whole day). So anyone looking for musk will be just as disappointed here. With "Flora Pure" or similar, I definitely wouldn't have said anything - but I wouldn't have sprayed that on either...

Dark, slightly dirty musk with a herbal background and aldehydes. Somehow old-school, but definitely not outdated.

Thyme not spicy,
Oakmoss not woody,
Vetiver lacks the earthiness,
Sandalwood and musk are cut off.
What's left: green-floral scent

A tired little musk creature sits in the soaking wet forest and shivers. The grass is wet, it's dripping from the bushes, and a cool breeze is blowing.

Mossy, musty musk. With herby nuances. And a very cool breeze - aldehydes? - that makes it uninviting. Too synthetic for me.

Definitely too masculine and herbal for me, but a very nice evening scent for men ;o)

Regarding the Extrait perfume:
short musky-floral opening, then dry herbal, warm, clean, unfragranced but not freshly washed.

Close-to-skin - animalistic - delicate and yet very sexy. Gentle seducer: caressing, cuddling, soft, pure, white & shy. Underrated!

Creamy Italian soap with almondy, bittersweet musk in its purest form. Soothing and calming.

Smells like a luxurious hotel soap. Very clean, slightly green, a hint of thyme. Doesn't offend, but doesn't impress either.

I mainly perceive the thyme note on a synthetic musk cream base and sweet sandalwood. Somehow, it smells like chewing gum.
