Musk Oil White
Henry Jacques (2010)

Musk Oil White is a white musk with all the freshly-laundered softness we have come to expect from its ilk. To its credit, it is not entirely phoned in. The ‘white noise’ sound of the musk has been upholstered with a chorus of powdery florals – mimosa, iris, and freesia – for a lustrous depth that goes beyond the initial impression of belly fluff. Therefore, Musk Oil White has more in common with ‘complete’ perfumes such Lorenzo Villoresi’s Teint de Neige than with the bog standard white musks released by all the big oil companies. Still, there is no good reason to spend $500 on a white musk.
