By the editors · 2 min readEtro's Musk opens with a brief citrus lift—grapefruit and bergamot that clear the air without lingering. Within minutes, the wood accord takes over: sandalwood dominates, softened by guaiac's subtle smokiness and cedar's pencil-shaving dryness. Lily of the valley adds a clean, almost soapy floral thread that keeps the composition from feeling too heavy or overtly masculine.
The musk itself is gentle and skin-close, never animalic or sharp. It wraps around the woods rather than competing with them, creating a polished, understated warmth. This is musk as a supporting player, not the star—more about elegant restraint than bold projection.
A daytime fragrance that suits anyone drawn to woody simplicity with a faint floral accent. It wears close, fades gracefully, and doesn't demand attention. The kind of scent that feels effortless on people who prefer their fragrance barely noticed.
