Literally the perfect quiet musk. They picked the right fruit, the right florals, the right accords and the just the right amount of all of it. Not too juicy, not too sweet, not too floral, not too woody, not too powdery, not too musky…. It has the perfect amounts of all these elements.

This dries down warm and sweet and in my opinion is better than Skin. As much as I love praline in fragrance, it’s too heavy in Skin for me and ruins the scent. But this gets its sweetness from a juicy, almost preserved, pear that balances well as a skin scent. It feels more natural.

I was lucky to get an older batch on deep discount at a rack store, as I’ve heard this has been reformulated. Sad to see perfection tampered with unnecessarily.
