Clair de Musc
Eau de Parfum
by Serge Lutens



The Scoop
There are musks that are sultry and carnal, the dirty, animalic musks full of heavy-lidded sensuality. Clair de Musc is something entirely different, a musk that is luminous and transparent, with the delicate, pure, radiant beauty that is nothing short of angelic. The fragrance begins with a soft citrus accord of bergamot and neroli. The tender floral notes, the light jasmine and the gentle iris, grace the heart of the scent; the base is warmed by a subtle note of sandalwood. The citruses, flowers and woods are understated, beautifully muted, allowing the silvery-white, lunar musk to shine in all its ethereal, seraphic glory. A sublimely wearable, wonderfully versatile fragrance that is bound to delight the musk connoisseurs and to convert the musk-wary into ardent followers.

A lovely light musk, this is elegant and well-balanced. The musk is matched perfectly by sophisticated iris.

Not the best. Try Musc Bleu by IL PROFUMO which is beautiful.

Good, but not the best. I like montale's white musk much-much better...... but definitely it has something uniqe in it.

t oh, I remember when I sprayed it for the first time... I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. It's luminous, sheer musk opening is so dreamy and beautiful. I adore it's heart of neroli petals and white iris powder... This also lasts a lot longer than I expected for such a transparent fragrance. If heaven had a smell it would be Clair de Musc! I cannot even tell you how many compliments I get on it. It's suprising because I thought it might not have enough "ooomph". But I was so wrong. It is so dreamy, creamy and angelic but it keeps me with my nose stock to my wrist. There is some mystery in this scent and I just cannot stop loving it. When I think of Clair de Musc it reminds me of mountains in Siberia, where musk deer actually is found. Clair de Musc is such a beautiful creation, of course made by our beloved master, Serge Lutens.This is one of my all-time favorites and I will cheerish it forever.

This is nice if you're looking for an uncomplicated "clean" musk. I get just a hint of cinnamon, like Red Hots candy, as it dries down, even though cinnamon isn't listed as one of the notes.

I have to take off two stars only because it has nothing unique about it. For example, Musc Samarkand is a white musk but with a very comforting yummy-ness, Musc by Keilo Mecheri is a musk but some how manages to make me feel georgious, Musc Bleu is a musk that is very clean and airy--etc. But clair de Musc just smells like plain white musk. I still give it 3 stars because it's the most beautiful plain musk I have smelled. It does smell expensive!

Like so many young women in their 20s, I used to wear The Body Shop's White Musk. At some point, though, it changed on me -- turned "animalic" -- and I thought I had given up on musk scents forever. Then I discovered Il Profumo's Musc Bleu, which is a beautiful, fresh-yet-warm white musk. I decided to sample Serge Luten's version before committing to Musc Bleu, and all I can say is that Musc Bleu is MUCH nicer than Clair de Musc! Clair de Musc is sweeter and duller than Musc Bleu -- much more like TBS's musk. Musc Bleu is clean and airy -- perfect for a professor who wants to smell fresh and elegant without overpowering her poor students and coworkers!

I searched and searched for a scent that was The Body Shop's White Musk but more expensive, that is less coarse and synthetic without the slight 70s animalic note that the perfume oil has in its top. I have been convinced on certain occasions that Clair de Musc is this Holy Grail of White Musk, though I remain to be wholly convinced. The one thing I don't like about it is the head with it's uberpowdery cold headiness. I like some powder but I think it's the Iris in it that I don't like. For the first hour I'm nonplussed but once it melts into the heart a little(and alas loses most sillage) I love it. It definitely smells expensive and more "perfumey" in a good and bad way. I wish it had a bit more warmth in the head. It's a little frosty. Those that like powder and white flowers will probably like it.
