✅ This is a very decent classic musk with no surprises one might expect from SL. Very wearable and innocent, a very safe choice.
✅ My most favorite musk scent. ... She dries down to the most beautiful iris musk. ... a beautiful dance between a powdery, semi-realistic iris and a soft, warm musk.
✅ I am downsizing my Lutens collection ... this is just so well made, so rounded, so effin classy, it's unreal.
✅ For me this is the ultimate clean scent.
✅ My most favorite musk scent. Initially, I will say it is a bit stinky. But DON’T judge her based on that. She dries down to the most beautiful iris musk.

✅ For me this is the ultimate clean scent. I adore it and would buy a full bottle if not for its poor performance.

❌ A cold musk I was hoping to like... I do not. ... I just get this nauseating smell of unwashed old people.
❌ I'm afraid this one doesn't wear well on me: after thirty minutes on my skin it's faded so greatly that only a whisper of iris-infused baby powder remains.
❌ I don't know what is wrong with my skin but this smells like a urinal cake on me !!! Very pissy and not in a fun way
❌ A cold musk I was hoping to like... I do not. I keep trying the iris scents but they do not work on my skin, no matter what... I just get this nauseating smell of unwashed old people.

❌ Sadly a miss for me. The musk smells just like my grandmother! There is a soft, almost indolic sweetness to this scent but I just cannot shake the association with this being a 'grandma scent'.
❌ This is essentially Jovan White Musk with the freshness level being toned down remarkably, which is probably why it smells granny to many other reviewers.
