More about Matiere Premiere Parisian Musc
Parisian Musc by Matiere Premiere is a 2019 unisex Eau de Parfum in the musky family, a creamy, ethereal musk built around Peruvian ambrette seed. Perfumer Aurelien Guichard pushes natural musk into a translucent, second-skin scent, green, woody and effortlessly elegant. The top note is Virginia cedar, which drifts into the heart note of ambrette, also called musk mallow, with its soft, suede-like feel. The base notes are ambrettolide, ambroxan and musk, which settle into a salty, addictive trail. Matiere Premiere Parisian Musc is a modern signature musk, with the cedar, ambrette and musk notes giving it its green, woody character. It stays translucent and close to the skin. Spring and summer see the most wear, mainly in the daytime and at the office. Parisian Musc suits anyone who wants a translucent, second-skin musk for warm days and workdays.
