Avon Musk for Men
by Avon

Musk? Yes. Oddly foresty and pineconey. Other than that, rather ok. Decent musk.

Now sadly discontinued, this fragrance has great sentimental value for me as my Father wore it. He didn't wear many fragrances and having grown up with a bathroom containing Old Spice & Denim, Avon Musk came as a welcome relief to my young nose! To me, this was always a simple, understated Musk scent. It never wafted offensively, just left a sweet trail behind that I doubt anybody could have found offensive. I can confirm (for the curious) that it doesn't taste anywhere near as good as it smells! One drunken night I decided to give the test a try. Perhaps it was the Vodka & Coke I mixed it with but I know it was foul and that it gave me a two day hangover. I haven't touched Vodka since! As already noted by EricM, how Avon can discontinue this and keep fragrances like Wild Country (and even Black Sued for that matter) in production is a complete mystere. To get anything near this fragrance I now go to Jovan Musk which after a good half hour has many of the same qualities, if only a lot stronger. If anybody from Avon does read this, please bring it back, please! If it were re-released I would buy it and I would wear it.

This inexpensive scent is a clean musk. Slightly piney as well, it's one of my favorite musks. Ashame it's discontinued (I emailed Avon and they confirmed this) as I've been wearing it for years, always taking for granted that it would be there for me.
The duration is good. The packaging has changed some over the years, but the bottle remains the same. The splash has more of a pine note/accord than the spray for some reason. I'm well stocked on both now, but when it's gone it's gone. How Wild Country survives while this dies I don't know.
