Matiere Premiere Parisian Musc

Fragrance Notes
Ambrette (musk Mallow), Ambrettolide, Ambroxan, Fig Leaf, Musk, Virginian Cedar

Parisian Musc espouses the philosophy of Aurelien Guichard’s Matière Premiere to perfection by carving away all the extraneous noise so that the simple beauty of its main raw material – here ambrette seed – can shine. And shine it does. Ambrette seed is one of nature’s marvels. Wholly vegetal in origin, it replicates the soft, fuzzy comfort of a cashmere sweater on clean, perfumed skin. In Parisian Musc, all of the uniquely fruity, anisic qualities of ambrette seed come through in a milky cloud of scent that blooms immediately upon contact with skin. It smells alive and intimate, yet translucent and delicately green.

In the heart, a subtle touch of fig leaf accentuates the milky-fruity warmth of the ambrette seed, while Virginian cedar and Ambroxan in the basenotes are there to support the gentle muskiness of the ambrette, giving it a salty, woody radiance that both adds depth and elongates its sound. There are many creamy-figgy ‘my skin but better’ musks out there, but Parisian Musc does it with such Parisian panache that we predict it will be an instant classic.
