Clair de Musc: A night in chiaroscuro by Serge Lutens. After visiting raw and wild musks in Musc Koubaï Khän in 1998, Lutens offers a new interpretation of this animalic quality in 2003 with Clair de Musc.
Neroli, floral and tangy, bergamot, fruity and sweet, and rose, warm and honeyed, share the top and heart: the tanginess of neroli contrasts with the sweet softness of the other two materials.
In the base unfold white musks, coppery and animalic, sandalwood, woody and velvety, and iris, powdery and buttery; the velvety texture of sandalwood meets the buttery grain of iris.
