    Etro are known for the flamboyant designs, crazy paisley and Italian flair. Given that CV, Musk is a pretty standard offering. Linear white musk and some wood (maybe sandalwood or guaiac wood) are pretty much the whole show. Lasts only a few hours like a good EdC but unfortunately, it's an EdT (Homer Simpson says, D'oh). That said, there's an allure here to simplicity and harmony. It's fun and light, too. If you can find a substantial discount, then get it. Otherwise, it's not worth the full fare.

    Nice woody scent with a green-musky undertone. This is not the usual sumptuous Etro's fragrance, nothing decadent or baroque. It exudes a sort of traditional english edge nevertheless, a kind of ethereal and clean temperament. Yes, this is a bit laundry and airy. It starts with a green citrus blast which is a bit floral and aromatic. In a while the woods start to settle and i smell gaiac and sandalwood as real protagonists with their woody mildness while dry cedar sets stableness. The woods are mild and the final insertion of musk aims to impress a touch of softness and feel of forest to the blend. The outcome is a gentle woodsy scent with a musky airy projection. A nice scent for cheerful spring days outdoor.

    Reviewing Etro Musk is a little being asked to weigh the letter “G” – simply pointless. Coyness can be quite an attractive quality, but when it never moves beyond the reticent to reveal something interesting, it becomes tiresome. Etro Musk peers too long over its folding fan, and I quickly find myself looking for a better date.

    The light blend of sandalwood and musk is pretty, but it is neither sufficiently beguiling nor long-lived enough to warrant a regular wearing. Etro can and should do better than this.

    Clean laundry, fresh out of the dryer after having used a pleasant fabric softener: That's Etro's Musk. Is that good, is it bad? Whatever: It's clean, it's pleasant, and sometimes that's enough. But just sometimes, though. Nice! I can imagine a young guy in high school or in college going for this, and the girls really going for the guys wearing this.

    So shy, it comes almost fainted from the bottle. Nothing special, just a simple, almost linear white musk scent. Longevity is tragic. Unworthy of the Etro logo.

    Begins with a gentle citrus opening—subtle, transparent, actually…nearly negligible. It takes a while for the woods of the heart to collect themselves and show some backbone, but soon there is an unassuming wood accord with, I think, the gaiac wood taking precedence and some sandalwood and cedar in the background. It certainly is not an impressive wood accord, and I wonder why the fragrance was called Musk. When the musk finally appears, it seems to be a white musk. The way the fragrance begins with almost no substance and gradually grows, reminds me of the way Floris Sandalwood performs, but only for a moment because Floris Sandalwood eventually turns into a wonderfully complete and pure sandalwood fragrance. This one turns into…white musk, and I can get as good white musks for one third the cost…without the wait.
