Musk is a sensual and sexy scent that captures certain earthy, woody, and intoxicating notes. Musk-scented perfumes are bold and pungent, and are also well known for lasting a long time on the skin. In combination with other sweet and notes, musk can transform a floral scent perfume into a much more complex and sensual experience.

The best musky perfumes are those that contrast the richer musk notes, with warmer undertones, like amber or spice. Estée Lauder’s Amber Musk Collection is the perfect combination of soft florals, amber notes, and creamy musk, creating a sweet floral perfume that is bold and sensual, reminiscent of the warmth and comfort beside an open bon-fire.

Similar to lychee perfume, mimosa notes evoke a sweet, bubbly feeling, often associated with happiness and first love. Powdery mimosa notes are strong in scent, but give off dusty, honeyed warm tones. Estée Lauder’s Beautiful Belle Eau de Parfum Spray pairs Marzipan Musk perfume and an array of luscious florals like Gardenia and Orange Flower with mimosa notes, creating an alluring and deep experience, comparable to that of romance and attraction.
