Pure Musc Blanc For Her

The house describes a white floral chypre that sets the freshness of a clean accord, white flowers and soft musks against a duo of cedars, over a base of oakmoss, amber and vanilla.

Top

A clean accord of sheer aldehydes opens the fragrance, with Calabrian bergamot oil, pink pepper and ginger. The house seeks an impression of vibrant purity, that of freshly washed white linen.

Heart

Night-blooming jasmine melts into a creamy accord of white flowers, wrapped in soft musks, the signature of the for her line. The house sets this bouquet against a duo of cedars, one dry and woody, the other warm and creamy.

Base

Notes of oakmoss and amber give depth, and vanilla extract leaves, according to the house, a lasting trail. The oakmoss ties the fragrance to the chypre structure the for her line has claimed since 2003.

What the label declares

The ingredient list published by the house has thirty-three entries. Between the word parfum and water sits a highly diffusive synthetic wood, tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes; vanillin and a musky lactone, hexadecanolactone, come right after.

It names several natural materials, bergamot, lemon and bitter orange oils, Atlas cedar oil and jasmine extract, as well as the regulated allergens, including coumarin, limonene, linalool, citronellol, citral and cinnamyl alcohol. Oakmoss does not appear under its botanical name.

What stays out

The house’s short list, repeated by retailers, places jasmine in the top alongside a clean accord and reduces the base to cedar and vanilla. The detailed description, followed here, counts it among the heart notes and adds oakmoss and amber.
