Musc Charnel

There are perfumes that don't simply sit on the skin: they merge with it. This eau de parfum is the modernised version of the maison's iconic musk, more intense and more carnal, designed to become an intimate olfactory signature. Once sprayed, it clings to the skin naturally and leaves a sensual presence, softened by a powdery, enveloping feel. A balancing act between seduction and purity, created for those who love perfumes that are subtle yet memorable.

A musk enhanced by flowers and vanilla

As with each of its creations, the maison builds this fragrance from exceptional ingredients. At the forefront, ylang-ylang essential oil unfolds its sun-drenched floral facet from the very first notes, refreshed by a touch of coriander. That luminous opening gives way to a rounder heart, where the duo of tonka bean and labdanum reveals a gourmand, amber warmth that is deeply comforting. At the base, white musks settle in with their woody, cottony notes, before closing with a delicious touch of vanilla that signs the house's signature trail.

A return to its roots

This fragrance is part of the Les Rencontres universe, built on the encounter between the maison's olfactory signature and another exceptional raw material. Here, musk takes centre stage: a return to the origins of a house whose very first perfume, simply named Musc, was born in 1970. Fifty years on, that foundational best-seller is reimagined in a more modern, more intense formula, true to the original spirit, where white musk evokes that rare quality of recalling a beloved skin, somewhere between purity and sensuality.

A unisex eau de parfum, discreet and addictive

Ylang-ylang brings a soft floral note that musk and vanilla quickly balance out, resulting in a fragrance that is mixed by nature, elegant and suited to all skin types. It can be worn every day and accompanies both everyday routines and special occasions. Known for its fixative properties, musk — paired with floral notes — offers long-lasting presence on the skin; the new formula also intensifies its trail, leaving a subtle, refined imprint for several hours.

The art of layering

The fragrance layers naturally to build a personal trail:

• With Souffle Ambré and its woody perfume, for an enveloping oriental depth.
• With Sous un Mimosa de Provence, for a powdery, luminous floral touch.

How to use

Spray the fragrance onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the earlobe and the inner elbows — where body heat releases and prolongs its scent throughout the day.
