Unspoken Musk
Unspoken Musk by Francesca Bianchi is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2019 in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot and immortelle, moves into magnolia and orris butter and dries down to musk, castoreum, civet, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Immortelle Maple syrup, curry and hay. Genuinely strange and very distinctive.
Heart
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Castoreum Leathery, smoky and warm. Adds depth and a bit of danger.
- Civet Sharp, faecal and intense on its own. In trace amounts it makes florals glow.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
