Muschio Marino Torre of Tuscany 2011
1
A Maritime Musk
We are slowly entering the season where we perfume lovers push the heavy scents that accompanied us in winter to the back and bring the summer fragrances to the forefront. I always mourn my heavy hitters during this time, but now and then they can still delight me when the mood strikes.
So, back to the season and the topic we have here.
To begin with, I must say that the scent has something to it and is not bad! "Muschio Marino" already suggests from its name what it is about... a maritime musk!
Upon spraying, an aquatic note spreads, and I would also describe the scent as a sea note, as mentioned above. Shortly after, a musk note emerges from beneath the sea. However, after about 10 minutes, the intensity decreases drastically. I have to hold the sprayed area very close to my nose, and hardly anything is wafting from my neck into my olfactory organ.
Well, maybe it’s also the musk that makes me somewhat blind to it.
After a 15-minute blind phase, a bit of amber makes its presence known, which initially comes across as amber. However, the aquatic note mixes in... an aquatic amber? Is that on top?
Well, it does have a certain charm; the scent is not poorly crafted, my problem is simply that I am not a fan of these aquatic perfumes! The sillage is adequate for a summer scent, and the longevity is satisfactory. I just don't feel comfortable with it! The only one I can truly enjoy is my "Quasar" by Jesus del Pozo!
What I must conclude is that Torre of Tuscany does not seem to excel in sillage and longevity for me! However, "Muschio Marino" by ToT is recommended to anyone looking for a slightly sweet aquatic musk scent!
