Musk Abyadh Attar
Amouage

This is a lovely, milky soft version of white musk. Most white musks get unsoft and a bit harsh on me as they devolve, taking on that harsh detergent smell, but Musk Abyadh Attar doesn't. The combination of musk, vanilla and sandalwood is magic, and a bit retro.
I'm not a fan of vanilla as a stand-alone note, so I was concerned about it, if it once again was going to bring in a vanilla extract note. For the first half hour the notes are perfectly blended into a voluptuous white musk cloud. At 45 minutes it becomes a skin scent and I can smell the different notes, but vanilla never dominates, so it stays well-blended, and the sillage stays firmly white musk. The skin scent-stage is long lasting, for most of a day.
So this isn't an edgy, feral or rough musk. But it's one that people around you love.
While white musk can never be a signature scent for me, this is probably the best one on my skin so far, for times when I want to be enveloped in beautiful softness. For those seeking a well-made white musk with a difference.
