Clean musks - any suggestions?

I am currently kind of drifting away from my usual light, airy, citrus scents - honestly, they're starting to bore me. Any suggestions for some nice, soft, clean musks out there (preferably niche)?

Hi Klute. Two that I enjoy are Sonoma Scent Studio Opal and Montale White Musk.

Mugler Cologne!
For slightly less clean musk I like Kiehl's.

That was my thought, too.

The cleanest clean musk is probably Gendarme, which smells like clean, freshly-washed skin coming out of a shower, but with just a touch of nasty underneath.

Lez Nez's Antimatre is getting some BN love at the moment, but I haven't smelled it.

Tiny niche house Ava Luxe really has a way with musks and does some really notable ones. Vamp is probably the skankiest, while Love's True Bluish Light is soft and feminine and beautiful.

Eveybody has good suggestions here. Also try sniffing Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. It's fresh, clean, musky floral.

Annick Goutal's Musc Nomade is sweet and clean, but also very rich. I love 'strictly musk' fragrances, and this and MKK are my two.
