You cant get it anymore unless you order it from a couple of different perfume stores or amazon on line...its not on kiehl's website and nordstom and neiman marcus dont have the spray anymore either. What gives?

Probably because it smells like Jovan or ladies deodorant.

You may want to email or call them and ask them yourself but I was able to find it on the above page, use the box in mid-page to bring the Musk oil up

The website does say Product Unavailable when you go to the eau de toilette and try to add it to cart. You can't select your size in the drop down menu.

Most unusual.

I doubt they've discontinued it, perhaps they're just out of it. I dunno...

Yeah it is good stuff no doubt. I actually read somewhere that Matt Damon wears it. I tried it on myself one time and wanted to like it as I love the Kiehl's brand, but I suppose the "musk" smell just didn't go with my skin and for some reason it did remind me of jovan a little and the drydown a little too powdery for me... but, of course, that is on my skin which was unfortunate for me. I absolutely love the bottle. ..very simple and a bit vintage looking. I was joking in the first post and I'd actually like to try it out again. I can't imagine them just discontinuing it you know.

matt damon(greatest quote from Team America)...i didnt really like jovan though...to me it smelled really cheap, even in the drydown, where the more i wear kiehls the more i love it...i found the trick is to wear it after a day of activity or work, not in the morning after you shower...or when ever you shower...the oil on your skin is what makes the oil in the musk really stand out...give it another try...you might change your mind. Matt Damon! ha ha

I dont know about EdT but the Musk oil itself seems to be available directly from the Kiehls home site: Click above to see.

Does Kiehl's smell like Jovan or does Jovan smell like Kiehls? That is the question.

The history of the Kiehls Musk oil is actually quite interesting.

Yes the Musk Oil is available but the EdT is not. All of the essence oils are available which makes me curious - has anyone tried any of the other oils? The Cardamom, Grapefruit, etc.?

I saw it at Marshall's.
I dislike it myself, I find it cheap and very dated. Did not give it full wearing yet though.
