About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Clair de musc (2003) is a floral musk built on a top accord of musk, iris, neroli, and bergamot. The listed pyramid ends there, but the main accords tell the rest: a 100% musky signature, 93% powdery, 74% iris, 60% citrus, 52% violet, and 48% earthy. That means you get a soft, clean musk wrapped in iris powder, lifted by neroli and bergamot, with a violet-like floralcy and a faint earthy undertone. Perfumer Christopher keeps it close to the skin.

Collectors who love skin scents, iris, or vintage musk will find this a quiet, refined wear. It suits anyone wanting a unisex, low-projection fragrance for daily or office use. Because the heart and base notes aren't specified, judge it by the accords: if you dislike powder or musk, skip it. Otherwise, it's a subtle staple for musk purists.

中文簡介

Clair de musc(2003)係一款花香麝香,前調由麝香、鳶尾、橙花同佛手柑組成。雖然官網只列到前調,但主調數據顯示:麝香100%、粉感93%、鳶尾74%、柑橘60%、紫羅蘭52%、泥土感48%。聞落係乾淨柔和嘅麝香,包住鳶尾粉香,橙花同佛手柑帶嚟清爽,紫羅蘭花香隱約,尾段有少少泥土氣息。調香師Christopher將佢做得貼膚。

適合鍾意偽素體香、鳶尾或復古麝香嘅收藏家。中性、低擴散,日常或辦公室都用得。由於中後調無標明,揀之前先睇主調:唔鍾意粉感或麝香就避開;否則,呢支係麝香迷嘅低調常備。
