A good friend gifted this without telling me what it was; he was sure I wouldn’t like it, but I absolutely adore it. It’s the boldest in my collection: almost a feminine pink floral at first, but that amber dry-down makes it unisex. The projection and sillage are brutal, featuring an exquisite, clean white musk. It lasts for many hours. It suits elegance and well-tailored clothing; you need to know how to wear it as it isn’t casual. It doesn’t suit everyone immediately, but it’s ideal for work, dinner, or the bar if you want to be discreet yet feel special.

Good heavens, it has such a heavy musk load that I nearly dropped the atomiser. Horribly ordinary to me. It reminds me of a cheap perfume with a terrible, tamed musk. Yes, a very predominant rose is noticeable. The sillage and longevity are powerful, but it’s a resounding no for me. Out of the seven I tried from this house, I’m sticking with Mandarine Sultane, the only one I liked by far.

I really liked this fragrance I received as a gift; it’s very floral. If you have no issues with unisex scents, give this a go: lots of rose with a significant citrus opening, which settles into a slightly weak woody moss base. Perfect for the day or the office, it’s neither disturbing nor intrusive. The floral notes are addictive; it’s a rose, but a masculine rose, totally unisex.

To my nose, Roses Musk and Intense Roses Musk by Montale are almost identical, except the latter is more intense and long-lasting. This Black Musc by Alexandre J. sounds the same as the Intense: sweet, dense, and a quality musky rose at a similar price point.

This is exactly the same as Montale’s Roses Musk, nothing more or less. It’s so literally identical that I think they used the same liquid to fill both bottles 😅.
