When Pure Musc by Narciso Rodriguez arrived, I had no idea what to expect, it is a brand I have heard of but isn’t one I have used. Sitting in the chypre-musk family, this fragrance is described as being a provocative play on purity.
Like most people, choosing a perfume is quite a personal choice and I definitely do choose depending on my mood and ultimately, the weather, the warmer the weather the fresher the scent, the colder and dull the weather the warmer and snug scent is usually my choice, with Pure Musc for her, it sits right in the middle of how I would choose a scent. Pure Musc for her is described as being an eau de parfum which is a warm and additctive scent.
for her PURE MUSC eau de parfum pays homage to the iconic fragrance line’s signature musc. The sublime heart of musc is enhanced with a white floral bouquet while cashmeran lends warmth. A supremely addictive scent, for her PURE MUSC eau de parfum teases the senses and envelops the body
This fragrance opens with the tops of Jasmin and Orange Blossom, it is fresh, sweet with a slight floral hint but with the middle note being the Heart of Musc, with it comes that a slight warmness that dampens down the floral notes to allow the base notes of Cashmeran, Amber and Patchouli which gives that warm, woody and almost musky scent its chance to dominate, though the inclusion of Amber does lend a slight powderiness to the scent, whilst the Patchouli, which is slight earthy is masked by the Cashmeran in my opinion.
The black and white bottle, which fits in with the design of the black and white box, is said to echo the exquisite artistry and beauty of the fragrance within. The frosted white lacquer against a strong black cap continues its story of strength mixed with softness, which again fits with the fragrance notes if you think of the Jasmin and Orange Blossom being the softness against the strength of the Musc and Cashmeran.
I loved this fragrance from the moment I tried it and have worn it every day since, its been the perfect comfort for this ever changing weather and on my skin it is a scent which lasts the entire day with incredible sillage that has lead to questions as to the fragrance I am wearing.
It is available in a 30ml, 50ml and 100ml and is priced upwards of £50 and worth every penny, especially if you are a fan of the already existing Narciso Rodriguez for her range and want to add to that collection, but equally, an absolute treat on pay day!
