Musk Extrême
Musk Extrême by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with aldehydes and rose, moves into jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris and spices and dries down to musk and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Spices Warm spice with no single spice named.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
