Parisian Musc Matière Première 2019 Eau de Parfum
17
Fallen for Fig
I didn't expect to love this scent so much!
After Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum became too spicy for my taste overnight due to the cardamom, I was looking for a fragrance that gave me a similar feeling. And here it is! In terms of scent, it reminds me just a tiny bit of Gris Charnel, but they share the same cool, chic, and somewhat distant aura.
I smell a less green Philosykos Eau de Toilette with a cool and milky note from L'Eau d'Hiver and somehow a more feminine Santal 33 Eau de Parfum. It has something "watery" about it. This caught my attention, especially since I generally enjoy ozonic scents and transparent florals like En Passant or Wild Bluebell Cologne and the cucumber-leathery aura of Armani Privé - Cuir Zerzura.
Parisian Musc Eau de Parfum does not focus on the fig as a fruit. Those looking for that aspect will find it more in Dambrosia or Debaser Eau de Parfum. It doesn't aggressively rub the fig leaf in your face like Ichnusa. Instead, the Parisian musk is softly green and a great palette cleanser for me as a lover of fruity, floral, and gourmand scents.
My husband is very sensitive to smells, hates most perfumes, and has a completely different perception than I do, so I always find his comments interesting.
When we got into the car this week, he said: "The seatbelt still smells like your perfume."
This was hours after I had been behind the wheel.
I said: "Yeah? But at least it's a really pleasant one, right? It smells completely natural."
If he doesn't like a scent, he usually expresses it loudly. With Parisian Musc Eau de Parfum, he only suppressed a smile to avoid fueling my perfume obsession further.
On another day, he said: "You smell like sunscreen."
"What kind of fancy sun protection are you using? I want that immediately."
He said: "Reminds me of a coconut."
To which I replied: "I can see that. The drydown is very creamy, fig-milky, and slightly sweet. Maybe that's what you mean."
When I finally visited a friend yesterday, she sniffed the air and said: "Is that you? Do you smell like a fig tree?"
I nodded.
"Wow, I kept thinking how it could be that I suddenly smell the fig tree from the garden on the other side of the house. You smell so beautiful!"
Elegant, serious, and refined. I love it and wore it to two job interviews. I felt professional and confident with it. I also received both offers and so many positive reactions to the perfume, like hardly any other. Maybe Parisian Musc Eau de Parfum is my lucky charm :D

I only caught a whiff of that scent while passing by. I was biased because of another fragrance from this brand. I need to give it another try.
