Black Musk is a spicy, woody scent first and a musk second, with leather and amber adding warmth underneath. Pierre Montale composed it for Montale in 2010, and it is worn by anyone.

Black pepper and pepper give it a dry, sharp heat from the start, with nutmeg adding a rounder, warmer spice. Underneath, patchouli brings an earthy darkness and leather a smoky, slightly animalic edge. Teak wood and sandalwood form the woody core, dry and smooth respectively, while musk and amber soften everything into a warm, skin-like finish. The musk here is dark rather than clean or soapy.

Longevity is a strong point: about a third of wearers say it lasts almost indefinitely and another third call it long lasting. Projection is moderate to strong. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn and for night-time, which suits cold evenings and anyone who likes peppery, leathery woods with staying power.
