Today I am wearing Coco Mademoiselle intense. With my registration, I wanted to confess my love for Coco Mademoiselle right away. I wanted to put into words how much I love this fragrance, how it makes me feel, how I perceive the scent. I wanted to captivate you so that you hang on my words. I simply wanted to convince you.

I read everything here and thought - fuck - everything has already been said. Much better even than I could ever do. Many have written what I feel. Everything has simply already been said.

Now I sit here, close my eyes, take a deep breath and think ....

.... if I were a fragrance, I would be Coco Mademoiselle (intense). ♥️

I don't like tuberose at all. Really not at all. I also don't like heavy, sweet perfumes that just linger in the front of the nose. I don't like scents that are just loud but offer nothing.

Some of this applies to this fragrance. Still, I love this scent. I love wearing it on cold days. I love wearing it when the sky is gray, it's raining, and you're running through the rain with hunched shoulders because the cold and the rain just hurt your face and neck. I love wearing it when you don't feel like doing anything because the days are just gray and cold again. When my own mood turns gloomy to the point of being depressive. I love wearing the scent when I don't feel like doing anything, when I still have to go out but don't want to talk to anyone. That's exactly when I love the fragrance. That's exactly when I can express my mood outwardly without having to say anything.

The scent is the opposite of all cheerful, floral, sparkling, and pink fragrances.

The scent is sweet depression in a bottle.

... I haven't been at this for long, my nose is not trained to declare what I can decipher from this scent.

BUT! If this is the musk that I perceive directly, if this is the musk that makes me feel this way, then I probably love musk.

It’s not my first scent from Narciso. I stood in the perfumery and have been trying to explain myself for some time.

“I want a scent for the deepest summer. I like spicy scents ... I think, or is it called oriental? I don’t want to smell heavy.
I like Coco Mademoiselle. But I also don’t want to smell too sweet.”

Then I was presented with one scent after another. None of them suited me. Too sweet, too floral, too rosy.

After maybe 10 scents, I pointed to Narciso Rodriguez - Pure Musk.
May I try this one? It stood out with its black-and-white presence among all the pink and colorful bottles. The lady hesitated, apparently because it didn’t fit with the range she had presented to me so far.

Upon the first sniff, it pinched here and there. It was interesting but not perfect. It was going in the right direction and indicated that I also like patchouli. After that, I was given another scent.
Left - Pure Musk. Right - a scent from Bvlgari.
I walked outside for 20 minutes and smelled the whole time.

Pure Musk. Is this the musk that was so off-putting? Pure Musk, not as present as the other scent.
Pure Musk, clearly fresher than the other. I chose Pure Musk.

As a trial, just 30ml, and I regretted it immediately. I got into the car with my brother. Freshly sprayed with Pure Musk (4x).
Even in the car, it wasn’t easily noticeable. I smell it. I love it. The scent of freshness and angularity. That’s what I like.

Days later, my brother was with me again; he has nothing to do with perfumes and doesn’t listen to me when I ask him about it. But when we wanted to set up my dryer, he pressed his nose against my shoulder and took a deep breath through his nose.

While I’m writing this comment, I’m wearing Pure Musk. When I smell it and try to describe it, I can’t get a word out.

I smell, inhale, close my eyes.
If this is musk ...
