... the name could not be more appropriate
We have never met before.
A blind date, after his properties with my fragrance preferences several times resulted in a "match", and so some review here had thrown him proverbially at my neck. Despite the excellent Parfumo matchmaking, it still wasn't love at first sight. 4.1 Le Musc & La Peau.
It took us a few days to get close. On first impression, I was almost disappointed with it. I was promised a warm musky skin scent, cuddly and gentle. But that he also has something contradictory about him, something profound and in the musk accord actually something quietly "animalistic" flashes through, I had in his profile and the attached testimonials simply overread...
There he stands now before me - in his clear, beautiful bottle. From the packaging sails me still a certificate of authenticity.
A rosemary kiss to the greeting. Bergamottig-krautig also - I feel my gaze drifting into the transfigured (if it's the aldehydes... i don't know much about those.... i used to have Chanel No 5, which is the only scent I can think of, and I don't think 4.1 has much in common with it). Hach, there he throws himself but in the stuff....
But before I can sink willy-nilly into his arms, pretty fast in the first few minutes, he fakes with a surprising coolness briefly an aquatic side - which he has but according to the fragrance pyramid not at all!
As if Squid had stopped by for a moment. Och nöö.
I don't get it either. Is there cool toca bean? Nah, I know it, I've smoked it myself in the lamp. No, it has no relation to any waters at all.
I feel a slight twitch in my lower eyelid. Instead of letting the disappointment break through, I spray the scent on Mr. UntermWert - and find it there to be fragrant. This makes it only worse by his remark "with you this smells a little bit like granny".... BUT: I go into defensive position and stand protectively in front of the scent. No, that is not true now so times.
... but I can't deny some childhood associations...
And there it is again - the journey through time ... The fragrance envelops me in images, but only briefly hints at them.

None of my memories are concretely awakened. It's as if they roam the periphery of my perception as the scent connects more and more with my skin.
I wonder at first, but then I realize that what all these memories have in common is myself. With my own scent.
I turn back to it. A soft sweet musky touch is still there. Minimal. But I think I smell great.
He gets to stay.

Le Musc & La Peau could not have a more fitting name. The fragrance melts into and enhances your own skin scent in no time. After the herbaceous-fresh intro, the coolness soon turns into an un-soapy, unpowdery tonka musk dreamy, eventually transitioning into a very pleasant "just out of bed" whiff (Nanu calls this one an "animalic musk wink" - a very apt description, I think).
"Skinnish", but not a "clean scent" - more "at peace with itself".
His volatility triggers deep regret - I'll try times to layer him with Monoscent G, maybe it clarifies with the two...
