    this is one of SMN's most exciting, daring, darling offerings: a melange of musk and dial soap! It's the scent of a young buck fresh out of the shower after basketball practice. or of an...

    That peculiar sticking-plaster note, redolent of casualty departments (and I presume of emergency rooms in the USA) which ruins so many mens fragrances, is here presented in pure format. Awful.

    An aldehydic rose musk more than a cozy skin scent (although with drydown, the aldehydes go away and the scent becomes considerably softer). It's very soapy and a bit sharp and masculine for my...

    Strong clen musky scent, it smells very soapy on my skin. Not worth the price.

    After the first few minutes this is insanely SOAPY goodness. Super SOAPY to the max. Talk about smelling like you came fresh from the bath. It's soft enough to be feminine and soapy enough to be...

    Musk d'Oro is beautiful -- the softness and elegance of Lorenzo Villerosi's Musk without all the troubling baby powder and aldehyde notes. It's slightly soapy and clean, but has a warm second skin...

    Oh this is like a wonderful, triple milled European soap! It isn't traditionally musky on me just very clean and subtle. Don't know why they called it by the silly name, but this is a must try must...

    This is one of my faves by SMN (the other one is "Freesia"). I bought it some days ago in Florence, so, it reminds me Italy, with all its magical atmosphere. "Muschio Oro" is an elegant rosy-musk...

    I love musk fragrances, & I have to echo what the other reviewers stated about this--it is a more sophisticated musk scent. This is much fuller & more elegant, just much more than the standard...

    You know what this smells like? Avon's Sweet Honesty (rose/amber/musk). Didn't everyone have this as a young girl? The name gave me the false impression that this was a warm musk scent. I was wrong.

    Thanks to the generosity of Kushka, queen of musk (and that's a good thing!) I was able to sample this. My, how this has opened my eyes. I always thought of any musk fragrance -- those in which...

    Gold musk (Muschio d'Oro) is a bright aldehydic fragrance, reminds me a lot of Chanel #5. I like it slightly better than #5 EDP, so it may be full bottle worthy.

    To my nose this is a florally musk, not far off from many scents found at essential oil shops. If you really like musk, give it a go but it's more floral than most, and I think in a...

    This is a blend of musk and ... rose? I like it! Layers nicely with other SMN florals.

    Hmmmm, where's the musk in this one??? It's a nice enough scent but smells more like very strong soap than like a fragrance with musk notes. Not a keeper.
