I am seeing a lot of "orange" scent comments, but to me, I smell a lot of Iris scent in it?

It actually starts off with a boozy, almost rum-like scent as you put it on. But that dries down to the most austere leather-and-smoky-vetiver I have ever smelled. I would swear there's a note of...

Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

Pour Homme is very pleasant scent that once you apply, you have the clean and fresh showered feeling. I am a big fan of Salvatore Ferragamo fragrances and have many to chose from. Free Time has...

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! It's not heavy, and is more of a natural soap smell than an actual eau de parfum smell. If they bottled a bar of Ivory soap this would be it. I live in an...

Hi, I'm trying to recall a perfume I used in the 70's. I thought it was called Just Musk, but after reading some posts on this forum I now think not. The bottle was small about 2.5 inches high, slightly shaped and solid black. The musk oil was quite potent and viscous, any ideas anyone please? I'd love to try and find it again if possible, thanks

I think it may have been Houbigant Musk - the packaging was black with male/female symbols in white on it. I had an oil in it & it also was available as a spray edt or edp.

Thank you, I don't recall the male/female symbols - but then it was a long time ago! I don't suppose it's still available anywhere, but I will now do a search for Houbigant, thanks again, Jan x

Alyssa Ashley made musk and civet oils in rounded black bottles in the 70's that were divine....I have been searching for the civet oil for decades now. Maybe this is your remembered scent.
