"That's a wonderful nothing you've almost got on!" ...
... is a saying from a James Bond movie, which I have memorized (for whatever reason).
Actually, I was yes to reduce my collection, which certainly has something to do with now over a year Corona. There is simply a lack of opportunities to apply fragrances in the sense that you can also expect a reaction from outside! ;-)
If one is however again in the topic, one falls for this quite fast again ... so I at least! :-) Musk I have actually always liked, but there is yes the iron fine and the animalic variant of it. Here we are clearly dealing with the former. On the other hand, I got myself Narciso Rodriguez For Him as an EDP, composed by the great master Francis Kurkdjian. This is almost a touch too animalic for me then (see my review). Perhaps musk as the main fragrance note for the "gentleman" is also truly difficult to act!?
In any case, Etro Musk has clearly won against Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco, which is still a lot more weak-breasted. The outer packaging of Etro Musk are great (but of course only play a supporting role) and the flacons are at least classically cute. With the first spray, I remembered that I had tested Lalique White and Armani White before. Here the DNA was quite similar: fresh, clean, fine and summery, without drifting too much in the aquatic-citrus direction, which I also appreciate, but which is already overrepresented in my collection.
About the scent itself: I do not think that anyone can find fault with it, who showers daily! ;-) Sure may come again these sorry shower gel comparisons, but unlike toilets or glass cleaner shower gel is also meant for the skin! So it's more a compliment for the shower gel if it smells like an EDT than a bad report for the perfume, isn't it? ;-) I can understand this comparison to a certain extent then, if the Sillage only skin close fails and the durability approx. 2-3 hours does not exceed.
Unfortunately, this is also the case with Etro Musk, of which one should be aware. Even a few more sprays hardly change anything. Apart from that, one acquires a gender-neutral summer fragrance, about which I can say nothing bad. Maybe it does even better on clothes than on skin, but you might not want to spend your money for that!? BTW: The sandalwood appearing in heart and base notes is perceptible to me only in traces.
Around 60 euros for 50 ml seem appropriate only for freshness fans who want to do without aquatic synthetics and who a "touch of pleasantly refreshing purity" as a fragrance is enough. Let's say in conclusion that it is here rather a cologne that after all never stings the nose, in no way reminiscent of cologne and with which no one will ever turn up their nose
