Royal Copenhagen Musk Royal Copenhagen 1976 Cologne

1976... Generally, when you inquire info regarding mens colognes, the only names you hear are Brut, Halston etc.

Royal Copenhagen Musk IMHO doesn't get the accolades it deserves. I'm here to say that this fragrance needs to get more love. It's an economical output with clean powdery traits and the drydown is classic, all masculine all the time. As for performance, I get a very solid 6 hours of wear time, maybe more. I'm referring, of course, to the very first launch by Stern, not five star and definitely not Parlux or whomever is behind the distribution these days. The scent is not your typical unisex candy sweet fougere and that's a good thing because you'll definitely not smell like everyone else.

For mature audiences only

The initial sensation is that of a stronger EdC, the neroli is easily identifiable; from then on the blend is all about flowers in a good way, for those than do not care about the way compositions can betray times gone bye.

The blend has very good projection, its longevity is limited - it could be the best option right after shaving, it is very appropriate for the beginning of the day.

I can imagine an older man using this as a way to remember his father's mornings before heading to work, however I can also imagine a young man choosing this one as some kind of statement. Make sure the wearer will stand out from the sea of men smelling of the usual suspects when it comes to aromatic molecules marketed under famous gobal brands.
