The best "your skin but better" on the marché
Okay, well, I've been copying all my fragrantica reviews for the last few hours to leave their site because it's run by pro-Trump people who disgust me and I don't want to put up with them, but for this perfume I'm going to TAKE MY TIIIIMMEEEEE rewriting a new review because it's really worth it.

I discovered it a few months after getting interested in perfumery again, after a break of some years. I was testing Pierre Guillaume's fragrances in a boutique, and had a list of some I wanted to try. This perfume was at the bottom of the list because I didn't really understand the concept and didn't think it was woaw when I read the notes. Oh my poor naive former self, you were so wrong...

After testing about fifteen perfumes, I smell it, and it was the biggest olfactory SLAP I've ever had. I can barely put into words what I felt.

In itself, the concept is simple, it's the smell of skin, clean, better, blah blah blah, we all know the deal.

This perfume completely MASTERIZES the concept, because since last year, I've smelled dozens of "skin perfumes, but better", and none of them comes close.

According to Pierre Guillaume's website, it contains a blend of 13 different musks, making it the closest musk blend to clean skin I've found on the market.

On top of that, it has a light scent of rosemary MILK (not harsh rosemary), ylang ylang, and wood, but nothing that takes up much space next to the musky blend.

En bref, it sounds like you showered and washed yourself from top to bottom a few hours ago with a dark rosemary and ylang ylang exfoliant, and you're still just as clean hours later, but it's the smell of your skin that has long since taken its place.

It's hard to write how it smells, just go smell it, order a sample, it's clearly worth it. It's been my signature scent for a year now and that's not changing anytime soon.

You Are So Beautiful
This fragrance is simply pure perfection️️️
I already have the EDP and now I had to get the Extrait, even though many said it doesn't last as long. But I can't confirm that; it lasts significantly longer and has a better sillage than the EDP. Still far from being a beast️ As for the scent itself: I love this fragrance so so so much. This combination of milk and rosemary, along with this pure musk. I've never encountered a fragrance that smells even remotely as perfect - so well-groomed, pure, and yet not monotonous. Creamy, slightly woody, and gently spicy from the rosemary. If you're looking for a clean scent but want to avoid anything that smells like laundry detergent or fabric softener, I can wholeheartedly recommend this fragrance. It makes me addicted; I spray it on before going to bed and feel like I'm in the most beautiful spa hotel in the world. The scent is absolutely unisex, suitable for any season and any occasion. Perfection in a bottle, an absolute feel-good fragrance!

Like its almost identical predecessor: Simply unbelievably beautiful!
I have already described the classic Le Musc & La Peau and clearly expressed how much I love this fragrance.
Admittedly, I can hardly perceive any difference with the new variant as an Extrait. Therefore, I will take my description from the classic, as I believe the scent impression is almost identical.

For the description:
Le Musc & La Peau is, for me, a wonderful feel-good fragrance.
In my opinion, you simply cannot speak badly of this scent and cannot not like it. It settles so wonderfully on the skin, is a gentle companion, smooth, pleasant, and simply super beautiful.

This fragrance gives you the feeling of being freshly showered without actually having a true shower gel DNA. It generally feels very clean, refined, and elegant.
Admittedly, this fragrance does not project very much, but I do not find it too weak either.

Especially at the beginning, it has a slightly cooling effect, with a very smooth rosemary note coming through. It also appears quite subtly floral and gradually gains more creamy-powdery impressions over time.
This fragrance also has a fresh laundry vibe. A totally elegant clean guy, that’s Le Musc & La Peau.
The scent does come across as somewhat synthetic, but I think it is very well executed, and the fragrance is truly designed to be very soft. All the notes seem to blend together and create a beautiful overall picture.

All in all, a fragrance that has completely captivated me.
This scent is also super unisex. Both men and women can wear Le Musc & La Peau wonderfully.

To conclude, here’s the minimal difference:
The Extrait feels a tiny bit stronger to me. Especially in the initial phase of the fragrance, it seems that way. Nevertheless, the difference is not much, and even the longevity and sillage feel almost the same to me.
I would give the Extrait one point more regarding performance.

Creamy, absolutely beautiful skin-like musk
The Extrait version of Le Musc & La Peau from 2016 was released this year and is EVEN more beautiful and more intense; the regular version is almost identical but unfortunately lasts only from noon to midday. Great love.
Creamy-fresh, floral-woody, sensual musk fragrance.
Skin with a hint of musk and subtly aromatic. Like freshly moisturized skin with a bit of rosemary. Exactly my type, skin-like freshness, creamy scents, of which there are not a few in my collection.
Not A Perfume by Juliette Has A Gun and Glossier You are my top picks from the fragrance category. Each of these scents envelops you in an invisible, weightless cocoon of fresh, woody, and powdery notes. Skin after a shower, freshly moisturized - cared for, timeless, and relaxing.
In even fresher and more timeless, e.g., Le Labo Santa 33.!
This scent is by the way the bestseller of the brand, out of a total of 130 fragrances all created by the same nose. Creamy-musk-like and nostalgic.
Like in the mise-en-scène of Sarah Moon's photos for the 1972 Pirelli calendar. A bit washed out, misty, almost sepia tones. One imagines a lot of fluttering fabric, blurry and dreamy in a powdery landscape.
A milky-musk-like mist, where the initial herbal accord dissolves into yellow flowers and cozy, soft vanilla. This steaming, fragrant cloud envelops the skin like white silk and lace underskirts from the legendary Pirelli calendar.
The scent may seem very linear, but this impression is deceiving.
The development is present, from fresh rosemary to a creamy veil.
In the finale, the scent takes on a woody-creamy tone, but both vanilla, cedar, and sandalwood fade in comparison to the dominant skin-like accord. Both versions are light, innocent skin scents. The difference lies not only in the concentration but also in the emphasis within the composition.
From my perspective, one should only reach for the Extrait, as otherwise you get extremely little longevity for a lot of money. The scent has a more aromatic and woodier profile. I smell a fine, creamy, somewhat subtle skin-like musk.
Freshened up with a light sunny-airy aldehyde note. The Ambroxan integrates, slightly warming, into the skin impression, as does the slightly almondy tonka bean. The wood notes also feel light and creamy, the sandalwood almost a bit milky, the cedarwood bright, shavings, warm. And after a while, you smell fresh water droplets on the skin, a fine spray mist but just a mist and not as if freshly showered.
Your skin but better - in this regard, the illusion is truly successful. The sillage is good, the longevity average, but much better than the predecessor.
Compared to the first version, the scent is creamier, smoother, and more neutral.
The new Extrait de Parfum evokes an endless walk in the woods, wrapped in your favorite cashmere sweater, comfort, and endless beauty.

Feel-Good Scent
I don't perceive the scent as a perfume, but rather as a smell that reflects a mix of freshness, skin, and cream. Others also do not perceive it as a perfume on me. It definitely belongs to my favorite scents. Unfortunately, the longevity is weak for me, and I have to reapply after just 2 hours. Although I also don't rule out that I might be so addicted to the scent that I need to spray it constantly. My husband is unfortunately very sensitive to scents and finds many of my favorite perfumes to be quite overpowering. This scent is among those (along with Musk Therapy by Initio) that he likes. That is also an advantage of the scent for me.

Smells like well-cared-for, creamed, and powdered skin from start to finish. Everything is subtle but long-lasting.

Former skin scent with a light rosemary-milk-aquatic that clings nicely thanks to Ambrox, not loud but persistent.

Smells exactly like the EdP to me. I'm confused. It doesn't project stronger and doesn't last longer.
If you have the EdP, you don't need this!
