Le Musc & La Peau 4.1

Likewise, what odor is more erotic than that of musk in perfumery? Here, Parfumerie Générale offers a blend of these two elements. This essence is thus soberly named Le Musc et la Peau.

A perfume signed Parfumerie Générale and Pierre Guillaume

Pierre Guillaume is an independent perfumer born in Clermont-Ferrand. Trained as a chemist, he was very quickly praised by a New York Times review that described his perfume Chandler Burr as the coolest of the new European fragrances. This greatly contributed to launching his career. Nevertheless, Pierre Guillaume did not head toward traditional perfumery that follows the latest marketing trends. He preferred to create a line embodying his creativity and his extraordinary boldness. Indeed, Pierre Guillaume enjoys total artistic and financial freedom. This allows him to create his own essences and give free rein to his overflowing imagination. This is how the perfume Le Musc et la Peau came about. However, it appears to be the continuation of a first essence named Musc Maori, born ten years earlier. That one paired milky musks with cocoa. So, as the name of this new fragrance indicates, musk is still at play. Nevertheless, it is explored in a very different way.

The innovative scent of Le Musc et la Peau

From the earlier Musc Maori, Pierre Guillaume removed the gourmand notes but enhanced the woody and balsamic tonalities. He defines his perfume as a milk of seven different musks. Thus, Le Musc et la Peau is composed of the varieties Astrolide, Fixolide, Velvione, Ambretolide, Exaltolide, Musc T and Habanolide. Moreover, beyond this animalic aspect, this unisex fragrance is not lacking in dynamism either, further enhanced with bergamot and aldehydes at its opening. Its heart, meanwhile, displays its elegance through lilac. A touch of exoticism and sweetness emanating from ylang-ylang can also be felt. Finally, the whole concludes with a woody sensation linked to the presence of cedar and sandalwood. Likewise, white musks leave behind a clean sensation. Parfumerie Générale offers here a skin elixir to be worn alone or as a base. This bold perfume reveals extreme originality here. Its style is unique, displaying a genuine blend of genres with spontaneity and a strong personality.
