Clair de musc
A sheer, powdery musk illuminated by a touch of bergamot and airy iris, turning the usual animalic warmth into a crystalline, moonlit skin scent.
Scent Development and Character
A clear, tender musk composition where the animalic facets are stripped away to reveal a soft, crystalline glow. A discreet citrus flash of bergamot lifts an airy, powdery iris, all resting on a veil of clean, caressing musk that feels like moonlit skin rather than perfume.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Wears as a close, intimate veil that suits office, everyday casual settings and bedtime, offering unobtrusive cleanliness and comfort; works well as a standalone skin scent or as a softening layer under stronger fragrances. Works year-round as a discreet skin scent, with a slight preference for spring and autumn when its soft, clean musk feels most natural; also comfortable in winter indoor settings and on mild summer days. Sillage is Soft, close to the skin, creating a subtle aura that rarely projects far beyond arm’s length. Longevity is Moderate longevity for such a sheer musk, typically around 4–6 hours on skin depending on application and skin type.
Perfumer and Bottle
