Musk Perfume Oil

Alyssa Ashley's Musk Perfume Oil, from 1969, is a soft floral musk worn by anyone. Florals dominate, with a gentle gourmand sweetness and lighter green, musky and citrus touches, all in an oil format that sits close to the skin.

Sicilian bergamot opens with a brief, clean citrus brightness. The heart is a classic trio of rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang: rosy, slightly honeyed and creamy-floral. The base gives the fragrance its name and its comfort: musk lends a warm, skin-like cleanliness, iris adds a soft powderiness, oakmoss a faint green, earthy depth, and vanilla with tonka bean a smooth, almond-tinged sweetness.

As a perfume oil, this is a quiet, personal scent, the kind that smells like warm clean skin to those nearby. It suits daily wear in any season, layering under other fragrances, or simply wearing on its own at home and at work. It will appeal to people who prefer understated musk and soft florals over loud, projecting scents.
