All About Musk Fragrances! Top Musky Perfumes

[@breannacarels6479]

You are one of the few creators that I get genuinely excited when I see a new video! Ah yes, I had White Musk in my teenage years. Lately I’ve been enjoying musk with a little beeswax. Essential Parfume The Musc has been growing on me and also Al Haramain Royal Musk is a beautiful clean but not soapy floral musk with beeswax that I reach for often. Thanks for the great suggestions ❤

[@tresbonoeuf]

I love The Musc!

[@MsMoople]

White Musk by Body Shop. That brings back memories!! We used it in the 1980s

[@justaddlight]

The bottles along the bottom was a great touch!

[@meghancowling3479]

Musks are one of my favorite types of notes and categories of fragrance. I love clean white musks, musks with funk and everything in between. I just sprayed Clair de Musc after hearing you mention it because it had been a while. My favorite fragrance at the moment is Les Indemodables Musc des Sables. It’s just such a dream. Some other musky frags I’ve been enjoying wearing lately are Arquiste Peau, Veronique Gabai Eau de la Nuit, and Etat Libre d'Orange The Ghost in the Shell. I also tend to love when musks are combined with iris/orris (my fav material/note) like in Heeley Iris de Nuit, Glossier You, and Frederic Malle L’Eau d’Hiver. I will definitely be looking to try several of the fragrances you mentioned here.

[@leahartlee29]

My favorite musk was the 1970's and 80's Coty Musk Oil in the dark brown bottle. I hunt it down and find the old version sometimes, but now it is very pricey. I love your outfit, and thank you for your sharing about these Musks- I will have to try some more of them.

[@emotionalbaby]

This is the most in depth musk perfume video I’ve come across so far and it was extremely helpful! Thank you so much, I really enjoyed and learned from it ☺️

[@BKDAYZ]

I loved this review on musks! And you're such a delightful reviewer. subscribed. cheers.

[@Emilys1001]

Musks are generally not my thing but on occasion, especially for bed, I like to smell nice but not like anything overwhelming, so the only musk I’ve come across that I genuinely like is Andrea Maack Smart. I love it, so clean and fresh with a hint of violet leaf.

[@junboo8730]

This is really the only channel that shows you stuff I have never imagined existed. Thank you for that. You are awesome.

[@JMigUK]

The style and mystery vibe of this lady is off the charts 📈

[@trevorfichtner3539]

this is the greatest and best video about musk fragrances on youtube. thank you so much!

[@elizabeta6837]

So well explained. Lovely breakdown. Love Love Love. Thank-you !

[@MrVoayer]

This is highly enjoyable and quite informative video ! Well done ! Keep on doing a great job !

[@cloelles]

Yeeeii I´m so happy you´re back!

[@islandgirl5382]

Elated your channel appeared today! Musk has been my favorite for decades. Making my list, a few of these not familiar with. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Yarénisesther]

The bodyshop Musk was my perfume back in the day.❤ Still love it.

[@lawsdraws]

What a superb video, Sam! Still lamenting the loss of Kheils's musk oil, which was sexier than the spray :( but lots more to try! Auric Blends Egyptian Musk is a great budget(ish) is really nice. It is clean, but sometimes suggests the sweet smell of sweaty summer skin, and never goes into skanky BO territory.

[@francescabianchiperfumes3831]

this is the video that we all were waiting for! Thanks so much for this beautiful selection and, also, to include my little creature in it!

[@roxanascripca7206]

Jul et Mad is from Julien et Madalina ( the names of founders) he is french and she is romanian :)

[@carkrueger]

Initio Musk Therapy! Fav musk

[@alexsalvara9958]

Wow .. even as a man. I love watching your video. You are so genuine and natural. You make your video in such a beautiful personality that, really entertains your viewers just being natural. I love it. Thank you so much and please bring some more other videos on these types of topics which are mostly not for the underage . 😊. Again. Thank you.

[@EsterInWonderland]

That description of Muscs Koublai Khan haha, loved it ❤ You’re one of a kind, and your videos are amazing. Thanks for this Sam and have a great Sunday 😘

[@jaminavestajugo3456]

Hi! I appreciate your respect for our time, in keeping your videos to about 10 minutes. I agree very much with your opinions of these fragrances, and after using up one or two of my existing bottles, might buy the Narciso Pure Musc. It's very wearable, but unlike the Body Shop fragrance, which I actually use to fight insomnia, doesn't make me sleepy. Great for daytime wear, in that sense.

[@sanneparf]

Loved your video ❤ Musc Ravageur & Pure Musk are my favourites! The musk used in Francesca Bianchi fragrances are so indulgent as well...

[@Mandla89]

You really do make us wait for these videos 😅 Thanks for uploading another great one

[@docm5314]

Really am enjoying your videos! Went back and saw the one with your mom ❤

[@thefragrantdivide]

Lots to try here! Thanks! I revisited my sample of Nubian Musk from Sana Jardin and I’m actually very much liking it. Musk Deer by Zoologist is a can’t-stop-sniffing my skin exp for me. Perris Monte Carlo’s Musk Extreme is really enjoyable, too.

[@raraavis7772]

Love this video, as I love musks. Agree with you on Musc Ravageur- hated it because I expected *musk*. I got cinnamon, vanilla (a lot), and amber.

[@roringusanda2837]

Not a fan of white or silver musks, too cold and clean. Love Kiehls Original Musk, its my ideal! Also big on Red Musk oil, various brands...(im wearing Eyeseye creations red musk oil, rn) Nemat Musk oils are great, musk, Musk-Amber, vanilla musk, etc...Cabot Labs Musk oil is still around from way back! And Skin Musk Oil by parfums de Coeur takes me back...its warm and light, not dirty, and the oil is so much better than the spray! Chocomusk fills my gourmand cravings, and Jovan Musk for woman is a fresh, clean take on it...Coty Wild Musk still good, but i wish it smelled like it used to...being on a limited income, my musks have to be affordable and long lasting.

[@crystal3579]

I wore White Musk by Body Shop too! I have been enjoying Alyssa Ashley Musk shower gel and Sylvaine Delacourte’s Smeraldo and Florentina musks.

[@mrnorthpresents]

Gonna watch later, but Kiehl's Original Musk used to be my signature scent. Still love it. I have the oil now.

[@jeffdennis526]

Going to check out some of your mentions as I’ve not heard of some BUT so agree with on the OIL for Bruno Acampora’s musk. In the warm weather it REALLY performs on warm skin. Musk Gold is nice floral like take on it. Both Harvey Nicks and Harrods have no stock for Kiehls Musk so lots of people agree with you. Great choice for a video

[@wowomg9741]

Please make a video on white florals as well

[@malikmuhammad3784]

Great video. Musc forever!

[@monikamiddleton]

Wow, great video with lots of interesting choices! Thanks!

[@breannacarels6479]

I recently found Clair de Musc at a Canadian fragrance online pop-up-shop. Bought it right away. It’s amazing. I LOVE a good clean musk and this one makes me so happy. Feels like a cloud hugging me. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@milehighmolly3609]

1957 has been a current favorite. I also love White Shoulders, it is just lovely. A good budget buy as well.

[@traceylindsay5169]

Parisian Musc is my current a obsession . 💙

[@Hopexi]

So happy to see your new video. How often do you have new videos?

[@thejinxlynx]

I love that you went through a range of musks ! could you do a range of others , like vanilla ? anyways I love your channel, I always learn something new 😘

[@isobel64]

Would love a vanilla list. Maybe even amber and also heliotrope!

[@lisaesposito7317]

Yay a Sam video 🥳 I enjoyed hearing about it although musks and I have a difficult relationship. I don’t mind the white musk smell on the surface (smells good) but it makes me nauseous, quite odd. 1957 that happened with. le Labo Another 13- same thing. What has been a recent gateway has been Andrea Maack’s Smart (white musk). The other dark animalics I like in smaller doses in the background.

[@RachelKNg]

Hi Sam! Always love your videos! Intelligent women in the fragrance community are fabulous! ❤❤❤

[@elisaj.575]

Love this video ❤ I grew up with Alyssa Ashley‘s Musk, my mum always had a bottle of the lotion. My very first niche perfume was Clair de Musc, still one of my alltime favourites. I‘m shocked to learn they‘ve discontinued it. Whyyyyyy 😢

[@tirzahfontell4194]

Love the description of the last fragrance. Peeks my curiosity for sure!! 😏

[@tinaking9120]

1957 is absolutely amazing!

[@TheTopNote]

Loved this Sam! Have definitely been exploring more musks in the past year and having a lot of fun with it ❤

[@weiyuqian635]

musk ravageur is so good and complex ❤ very warm with noticeable cinnamon note

[@Sinmya]

Starting to appreciate musks. I have some of your list. Looking forward to discover the others.

[@TheLoungingShaman]

I'm actually very curious about the Serge lutens one, I'll let you know once I get it:)

[@viggenone]

Muscs Koublaï Khan and Musk Deer are on my list, just haven't found them at a good price. I'm curious about Nubian Musk, need to try that one and the house in general, also all from Francesca Bianchi. Thanks for the video Sam!!!

[@tigeygirl]

Great list Sam. I would like to add Initio Blend No7. It is a little animalic but not too much. Love it!

[@ChaoticCurlz]

Definitely enjoyed this vid. Thanks so much.

[@flamechief]

Informative, and enjoyable as always. What do they mean by recycled flowers?

[@Jenn_N]

Thanks for your video Sam!

[@mexifrida]

I’ve been so sad to see Clair de Musc was discontinued right after I discovered it this month with a travel spray. Will be looking for it, but so glad to hear your recommendation for a similar one! Will be trying it.

[@LiaAndrews]

Great overview. Thank you!

[@adomonte1]

Thank you for another great video and selection! I've been a little bit scared Francesca Bianchi.. I think I'll try this musk suggestion 💜

[@desireeohrbeck2282]

OMG! Just found your channel. Deeply interested in fragrances - the journey has been going on for about a year - and I'm Danish ( my ears perked up when you said julemad). I live in the US now so don't get to hear a lot more f Danish on an everyday basis 😊

[@sarahrobinson3423]

This was very enjoyable to watch Sam. Very good recommendations too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PaolaBianka]

I really enjoy Nubian Musk from SJ... bummed that they don´t ship anymore to where I live ...

[@that_girl555]

Armaf Club de Nuit Imperiale is my new love. It’s a spot on PdM dupe and just beautiful. Escada Santorini Sunrise, Versace Bright Crystal, Dior J’dore Parfum d’ eau are my go to’s.

[@tonijourneaux2165]

Incredible content again. Thank you 🙏

[@holly54321]

Thank you for this video! Have you heard of the now-discontinued Colette Black Musk Oil? It vanished when the Paris store closed in 2017, and I've been obsessed with finding a dupe ever since. It's a little like the C.O. Bigelow, and a little like the Musc Ravageur....which maybe just shows I don't know what I'm talking about.

[@_-Anna-_]

Musc Ravageur … I am not even a gourmand lover, but … 💥

[@raq79]

It’s like you are reading my mind! I was just starting my journey into musk fragrances and I was looking for information on musks and there you are with this video. Hooray btw I just bought China musk today

[@yoiaheelee3536]

I’m hesitant to buy the Alyssa Ashley Musk Perfume, because a lot of reviews I’ve read online said it has an unpleasant smell since the reformulation. Can you tell me more about its scent and your experience?

[@Annafrancoise]

You need to try the Iyrah Luxe oils Jaysher has a beautiful musk scent

[@bjr1657]

I love your content and wish you could post more. My favorite is Francesca Bianchi's Unspoken Musk. It reminds me of snuggling my face into my cat's fur.

[@lineplanevolume]

I recently got Stairway to Heaven for my partner... It smells wonderful on her. I can't recall if you had talked about Musc Tonkin before, but that seems like a natural for this list :) - Thanks for sharing!

[@insaneandvain6188]

JHGs invisible musc - one of my all time favourites😍

[@maryo8511]

Loved that you reviewed musks. I used Jovan in the 70's and an oil from Spiritual Sky (don't know if they still exist, but they also did a beautiful patchouli). I have the Kiehl's musk which I love. I would love to try all the ones you've mentioned. Oh I have used Narcisco Rodriguez Musc for Her, love it.

[@mochacola72]

I've started making Parfums and I would like to make a good musky scent. I just need to put my nose on other masks so It doesn't smell like anything else. So thanks for the head start.❤

[@dantopster]

Such a timely video! I kid you not, just an hour ago I did a little experiment. I like Poudrextase but it’s a projection bomb. I think it needs to be worn close to skin because to me it smells like, well, bodily fluids (but in a sexy way). I wanted to try mixing another perfume to tame it. So I mixed it in a spray vial with Pure Musc by Narciso Rodriguez, and I can’t stop sniffing my arm!

[@LM-rb5vo]

Great, educational video. Thank you.

[@rogierdelfos]

Clair de Musc is not discontinued either!

[@marcialythcott5532]

Your description of a particular kind of sweat had me rolling😂😂😂😂

[@adomonte1]

Could you do a video suggestion for zoologist? I don't have anywhere to try it and would love to purchase a few samples but honestly don't know where to start.. So many options.. 😅

[@imanemu98]

love this. v informative. areej le dore and co can go do one!

[@timetomuskup2]

Great list. N18 is a highly underrated musk, imo.

[@eLurkr]

The sample of Musc Ravageur was much dirtier than the bottle I ended up with; Such a shame, that dense sweatiness was the novelty which appealed to me.

[@andjelijakodor9493]

Nema nigdje mog mošusa parfema Original😢😢😢šta da radim i gdje daga nadem???

[@dogmeat4139]

Loooove that Kiehl's...one of my all-time favorites. I've been wanting to try that Lutens for a while now, but I'm kinda scared 😜

[@IreneBallesteros]

I love Musc Chamal by Giorgio Armani

[@mohamedmahmoud-r5n]

what do you think of using agar musk from ramon monegal as a work fragrance for a man living in hot country

[@le4470]

Can you tell me if synthetic musk can be worn on clothes? I don't like any scent on my skin. I see you spray on the clothing ..

[@pulp5618]

Hi. Is Chanel 1957 similar to Tom Ford Musk Pure or White Suede? I really love Musk Pure and White Suede by tom ford and I'm looking for something similar but maybe better

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

I like musk in my fragrances but more the clean woody, floral musks. I really enjoy Sana Jardin too. I actually got a sample of Poudrextase and it is intoxicating and makes you want to keep sniffing, but I couldn't handle more than one tiny spray on one wrist to test it. I just can't tolerate very powerful fragrances (yet) 😉 Great video Sam, and great robe ❤

[@moodybugg-2098]

Do u like houbigant? Quelques fleur ? Or royale?

[@IreneBallesteros]

Great 👍🏼 video thanks

[@m.s.g1890]

The 'raunchy' musks just seem to repel me. Kiehls was floral for a few mins, then poop, They've changed it now and it doesn't smell musky at all really. Jicky - neat poop! Most 'ordinary' people hate that stuff. I went to an exercise class once wearing Goutal's Musc Nomade, which even I can tolerate, but the lady taking the class apologised for the 'unwashed' smell around and that it must have been the previous people!! The worst I've tried was probably Afrika Olifant by Nishane - it smelt like 'that' stuff but x3 A full on 'call the plumber' fragrance!

[@Tina-wi7we]

I forgot you were part Danish. The show seaside hotel is in Denmark. It's so cute. Have you seen it? Thanks for the perfume talk 🥰✨

[@expansefloating4096]

I had heard somewhere Musk from Lorenzo Villoresi is Brad Pitts signature scent.

[@nicolettagilardoni9455]

Parisian Musc by Matiere Premier 🎈

[@lillysim8415]

I love this video and I adore musks! So many I want to try now 😍 I’d love to know if you’d tried Punk Motel from Coreterno and what you think of it! It’s quite musky, and there’s just something a bit dirty about that I’m obsessed with. Definitely a bedroom scent 😍

[@kce123.]

I thought no one used musk from animals anymore. How can one tell it is synthetic because I definitely do NOT want to wear perfume an animal had to die for! Also, I heard castoreum is from beaver, do you know if this is also synthetic?

[@teresascott6630]

What are your thoughts on Le Musk by Daniel Rosier?

[@chodoris]

How abt tihota n guerlain musc royal?

[@annmariewill6519]

Nice!

[@keilarb55]

It's nice to see less expensive scents in your videos, not everything has to be >$300 ...

[@YoTratoYTrato]

I still, to this day, don't understand how people can (allegedly) really pick up musks in perfumes. "Musky frags" all just smell like regular shmegular perfumes to me, and I dont get how to detect it. Sometimes, I wonder if people just say they can detect musks bc they know its in the notes! Lol
