Dance class was spent sniffing myself incessantly

The Musc by Essential ParfumsEssential ParfumsThe Musc3.685 ratings

Okay, who has been gatekeeping? Why has no one told me to get this on my skin? Now, I’m sure you’ve already figured out that I love a clean laundry scent for dance class on a Tuesday night. So I thought I’d finally sample this. But oh ma lawd! This isn’t just clean sheets, it’s fresh and clean yet warm, smooth, pillowy and inviting. There’s hints of florals, hints of sweet lactones, hints of spice, hints of powder, hints of honey, hints of wax, hints of nostalgia and a hint of seduction… and all these hints have been blended perfectly into a gorgeous soft skin that’s been enveloped in clean sheets. It’s also a quiet sandalwood that I can wear without triggered nausea, huzzah!

It’s more than your head sinking into a pillow. This is sitting on a bed, your wet hair tickling your back, with a soft white towel draped around you, watching a crisp white shirt being slowly pulled over a clean warm chest that has water droplets still dancing on the skin post shower. The scent catches your nose and you want to slowly pull the white shirt back off again.

Strange that when I got home from dance class and showered.. I sprayed this straight back on again 🤔

    The whole house looks interesting with the various perfumers, and it is reasonably priced. What a find!

      I discovered them maybe 6 or so years ago and they used to be even more price friendly then. The additions since are pretty good. Def worth exploring. Not always the longest lasting for all.

    Sounds delectable!! Love that they've rounded the sharper corners that some clean laundry scents can have

    A ginger top note? Consider me intrigued! Added to the hunt.

      I love ginger notes, but this does not have ginger in it (don’t want you being disappointed). I checked their website and it’s ‘red ginger flower’ which according to google smells like ‘a very mild, clean, and subtly sweet floral fragrance with a tiny hint of spice’ which definitely fits more with the scent profile I’m getting in The Musc. Must pop on a request to get this amended on the app.

      Ahhhh! Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the heads up — I do still love a ginger flower! 🥰

    These guys do a good job and it’s affordable! I love their Bois Imperial, their Bergamot is a lil disappointing on me. The new latte one is interesting. Overall a good brand to explore.

      Love Bois Impérial. The Rose Magnetic surprised me the most so far in the discovery set. I think I’ll be ordering a few travel sizes from them 🙈
