Parisian Musc
Matière Première · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2019
≈ $320 · 100ml · approx. retail
Conceived as 'a woody musk' around Peruvian ambrette seed reinforced with Virginia cedar oil and ambrettolide, it reads as a green, fresh musk rather than a skin-scent cliché, growing creamier and more complex over its wear. It has become one of the house's best-known releases and later spawned a dedicated hair perfume format.
