The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Elixir de Musc by Mizensir was launched in 2017 and is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for both women and men. The nose behind this creation is the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. This composition opens with powdery and musky notes, which give way to a heart of iris, violet, and almond, before settling into a warm base of vanilla, amber, and woody accords. The contrast between the light, airy top notes and the rich, enveloping base creates a sense of depth and complexity that is both comforting and alluring.

How to wear it

Apply Elixir de Musc lightly to pulse points; it blooms slowly on the skin. The powdery top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the rich base notes that emerge after an hour, making it perfect for a quiet evening at home or a serene meeting in a private office.
