Absolutely Musk is an Eau de Parfum by Franck Olivier, sold for €35 for a 75 ml bottle and presented as a luminous, floral and soft reinterpretation of musk. It brings together noreenal, a MANE captive, and saffron in the top notes, peony, freesia and cedar in the heart notes, and creamy sandalwood, benzoin, vanilla and white musk in the base notes.
Top notes
In the top notes, the house places noreenal, a captive molecule from MANE that it describes as evoking the transparency of clean linen, alongside saffron. Noreenal keeps the name given by Franck Olivier, for lack of an equivalent in the reference list; saffron contributes the spicy facet.
Heart notes
The heart combines peony and freesia, two flowers that carry the floral dimension highlighted by the house. Cedar completes the floral accord and connects the composition, at this stage already, to the woody family.
Base notes
The base brings together creamy sandalwood, benzoin, vanilla and white musk. These materials correspond to the oriental and powdery accents of the classification, and white musk grounds the house's narrative of a reinvented musk.
