Mon Musc à Moi What We Do Is Secret 2015

Although I still can't quite grasp this scent even after wearing it multiple times, I will still attempt a description. The opening is rather clear, a strong dose of bergamot that quickly fades away after just a few minutes, against a similarly strong musk background. There may be something fruity swirling around somewhere, but it's not very distinct to me.

The musk then pushes forward, but is repeatedly caught by a vanilla-sweet lasso, probably the heliotrope. As it develops, the base comes through relatively quickly for me, with the musk occasionally peeking out, sometimes more, sometimes less intense, but alternating in its leading role with the vanilla/tonka/toffee accord. I believe I only catch a hint of the rose mentioned in the heart note relatively late, somewhere in the mix with the rest of the base.

Overall, it is well done and unfolds quite lively, but personally, I find the musk a bit too sharp when it comes through, and when it is in the background, the rest is a bit too sweet. However, I don't want to completely dismiss this scent either. Let's see if it can establish itself after all, perhaps for another occasion.
