    Herbal notes, watery florals and powdery clean musk that remind me of a dog shampoo we had years ago to wash the mutt. Muschio isn't actually bad, though. As it dries it becomes a lot like Bruno...

    SMN Musk "Muschio" is a sweet almost candied musk, starts out almost butterscotch-like and then quickly moves into musk. Translucent and soft as a skinscent, yet with a dry earthy quality in...

    Oh-- . . . my . . . . wow. I've always loved the IDEA of a musk fragrance. I love the notion of "my-skin-but-better," rather than wafting fumes that are obviously a foreign scent on your skin....

    I wish I'd written my own review before reading others. In my mind I got as far as "I like this! Sweet, but not sugary, and spicy in an unidentifiable way..." As I continue to wear it, it is a...

    Perhaps it's my skin chemistry but Muschio works for me. I detect a licorice/anise creamy scent with a hint of herbal and roots. It is not cloying like many other musks I have tried. It does not...

    For WHATAWORLD...they do come w/an optional screw top atomizer. This is one of the first questions I asked at the LAFCO Los Angeles store (I'm a spritzer too)!

    This is so wrong on me. It starts out as a lovely, fresh breeze and my expectations are high! But it takes no time to do a nose dive, and ends up - on me - not as a musk, which I can usually...

    I love this, it reminds me of my beloved Helumt Lang which was discontinued. Has a bit of a "roots plucked straight outta the dirt" smell in addition to a a perfect musky warmth. None of the sugar...

    Santa Maria Muschio Incredibly nostalgic. I remember my grandmother from Europe smelling like this. You rarely find these kinds of Old World scents anymore. Muschio is not as pleasing to the...

    Not to be confused with SMN's "Gold Musk," this cologne is one of the best colognes I've ever smelled anywhere. It's sweet, but subdued... it's potent, but does not stink. It's absolutely wonderful...

    ARGH!!! Why has it taken me so long to review this? Thanks to Araindrop5 for reminding me about this wonderful, sweet musk; I just happened to catch her review. It's a cologne, so the alcohol is a...

    A very sophisticated, unusual, creamy, woodsy and strangely addictive second skin musk scent that to me smells very Italian. Wearing Muschio on certain days can quite possibly make you feel like a...

    The wonderful thing (and quite annoying thing) is how personal/subjective the experience of wearing a fragrance. I have to say this is probably one of my least liked musks ,and I like the whole...

    I like musk, and I've liked most SMN fragrances, and I usually love green notes, but I don't like SMN Muschio. It opens with a very sharp, bitter note of industrial pine cleaner; once it settles...

    Maybe it's just all musk scents in general, but SMN's version is sour, soapy, and rancid. Not my cup of tea AT ALL, though I find most other SMN fragrances to be absolutely brilliant.

    Although I like musk, this one is not for me. It has an extreme sharpness--almost a green edge--muscling its way through the softness of the musk. The combination of soft and sharp duking it out...

    A beautiful, warm, clean musk, VERY similar to the drugstore classic Skin Musk, but more complex and "real." Do I detect a touch of vetiver upon drydown? If so, it's perfectly balanced with the...
