Soapy and clean Subtle and not too demanding: Musc by Essential Parfums

11d (edited) • SOTD 🍊

Went with something pretty easy to wear to start this week as the body and mind needed something slightly gentle and simple to start the day. Some potential life changes going on for me in the background and I just felt I wanted a scent that felt more like a clean slate. I got this one as part of my monthly Niche fragrance discovery subscription which usually is almost always unisex, because at the end of the day all scent is unisex etc etc.

I think this one is definitely marketed more towards women, and I guess this kind of musk tends to be aimed in that direction, but the soapiness of this really sort of just sits in a space where anyone can wear it. It's not particularly loud or animalic just clean and fresh without being citrusy or sweet, neither of which I was looking for today.

Since I've never done it before, I thought I'd put a poll up as none of the notes:

Ginger, lavender, beeswax, musk, sandalwood

None of these seems particularly 'feminine' so curious if anyone else has experience with this one since it goes back a bit and whether you would consider it Masculine, feminine, or unisex. As always, all comments are welcome. And since I'm still pretty new to the hobby, always curious what others experiences are of sense and all the things.

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week 😎

Masculine

Feminine
