How many fig scents do you actually need?
The question came to mind after I already own Philosykos Eau de Toilette and Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum and some others have already tested.

Nevertheless, I really wanted to test the Parisian Musc Eau de Parfum again. The fragrance I already knew, have him once briefly smelled in a perfumery and dismissed with the fact that he reminded me in the first impression too much of Philosykos. Have me then ordered a bottling here in the souk and wanted to follow the whole thing again.

How is the fragrance for me?

Clearly a green scent, it starts with fig leaf, has no sweetness and no fruit. To me it smells clean and dry. Not dry in the sun of dusty, powdery, it is rather the impression of dry wood.
To my nose, Parisian Musc Eau de Parfum is a clean scent with no citrus at all. The ambrette seeds I also clearly perceive, actually an ingredient because I usually do not like so, here, however, I find it fitting. Despite all the synthetics, I feel the fragrance is quite "natural", which is probably due to the fig leaf.

I feel the fragrance as unisex, would perhaps classify him a little more in the male direction.

The basic impression of the fragrance is rather distant / cool.

When would I wear it?

For me, a fragrance for every day and every season. Tendency such kind of fragrances would come with me rather in the spring / summer to use, but you can also wear in the fall / winter. Possibly also signature-suitable if you like fig particularly well. I must already have a desire for this type of fragrances.

Durability and sillage is super with me, in fact I perceived the fragrance again and again myself.

And now again to the initial question:
The similarity with Philosykos Eau de Toilette is present, I feel the Parisian Musc Eau de Parfum but a touch creamier, just at the beginning. In the further course, they become very similar.

In the shade of the fig trees
Parisian Musc is undoubtedly a fragrance that stands out for its elegance and sophistication. Having tried a number of fig fragrances over the past year, Parisian Musc has completely enchanted me and put all others in the shade.

The standout feature of this fragrance is undoubtedly the authentic, natural scent of fig fused with a creamy note. While many fig fragrances evaporate after a short time, Parisian Musc unfolds its fascinating fragrance journey over hours.

I experienced a particularly unforgettable moment during my summer vacation in Crete, where I wore the fragrance. The subtle nuances of figs blended perfectly with the warm summer air and it was hard to tell whether the beguiling scent came from the surrounding fig trees or from me.

The longevity and sillage of Parisian Musc is impressive. The fragrance accompanies you through the day with ease, without ever becoming overpowering. The elegant notes are perfectly balanced and create a harmonious fragrance composition that beguiles the senses without overwhelming. So also a beautiful all-rounder for everyday life/office.

The green diamond
Let me start by saying, figbased scents are usually not my cup of tea. They usually get too cloying for me, but this one from the premium house Matiere Premiere is in a league of it´s own.

The quality ingredients are obvious, it´s so smooth and well blended. It´s a milky, rich fig, green and with an undertone of coconut which gives a beautiful fragrance. I´ve seen comparisons with Diptyques Philosykos, but there´s a woody base here which makes the whole fragrance a natural cross between the aformentioned and Santal 33, just much better in my opinion.

On a personal level there´s a relaxing feeling to this one, makes me want to drift away and just be a part of it, so, so, good. Brings promises of a more relaxed and more natural world.

This is such a wonderful fragrance, primairly for the warmer months but really can be used all year round. I am very impressed with Matiere Premieres offerings so far, natural, classy and with a broad selection of fragrances.

Highly recommended stuff.

A very nice mix of safe bets
I think that Fig leaves and the fig milk are so pleasant and addictive as smells that it is almost impossible to add their aroma to a scent and not make it become a success.

See: Fico di Amalfi from ADP which has a longevity of 6 minutes how popular it is, especially to the fig note and the citruses too.

I think Santal 33 is one of nicest and natural smelling fragrances on the market so to mix this smooth smell with the fig and add ambroxan to it, it is nothing short of a genius move.

Parisian Musc has also ambrette seeds which will give a musky aspect, like the perfumer says on the website of Matiere Premiere .. so another layer of goodness comes into the discussion.

On the skin or clothes, for me it feels a bit "try too hard" and I am not sure if I really consider this as a fair candidate to be into my collection, but with time I will see if it grows on me.

Urban musk
As much as I enjoy the muskiness of ambrette, I hate how I can get noseblind to it. This happened to me with Le Cri a lot. It took me a while to deal with it and fully experience its scent. With Parisian Musc I also get those blackout moments, although much less than with Le Cri.

The musky ambrette is not paired with iris for a change. It goes with some green notes and a light woody background. The scent stays in this sphere of green, woods and musk without much development. Kind of minimalist, but effective.

Comparisons with Santal 33 Eau de Parfum make sense, even without sandalwood and that 'dill pickle' note. Parisian Musc clearly follows its own path, but it does have that airy-woody profile and fits right in the 'urban' trend set by Santal 33. Actually, if I was to choose between these two I would have a slight preference for Parisian Musc. Mainly because of its fresh-green opening and emphasis on the ambrette muskiness.

Diptyque Philosykos mixed with Le Labo Santal 33. Green, creamy, woody, with a hint of freshness. Well-blended with a good performance.

Coconut-y fig not unlike Debaser or Philosykos. Musky & slightly woody. Comforting and gentle, it's like a blanket fort out in nature.

Milky, milky, milky. Fig leaf abrasiveness gives way for a musky-cedar base that sticks for a while. Awesome, inoffensive but nuclear.
