Wearers say
Wearing it
Pure Musc is a clean, sharp floral musk that wears close to the skin like fresh laundry. Most wearers find it lasts all day, though some quickly become nose-blind.
How far it carriesClose to the skin
Perfumers call it sillage.
It forms an intimate, gentle scent bubble that people only notice when they come very close.
“I’m sure it doesn’t project a ton, but I can smell it on me when I get home.”
