The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Over The Musk by Mugler was launched in 2014 and crafted by Jean-Christophe Hérault and Olivier Polge. This unisex EDP is a harmonious blend of musky, woody, and powdery accords, balanced with floral and fresh spicy notes. The opening is crisp and aromatic, thanks to the bright spice that cuts through the air before settling into the warm embrace of its heart and base notes. Over The Musk was designed to create an atmosphere of quiet confidence, where musky warmth meets woody depth, offering a scent that feels both familiar and distinctive.

How to wear it

Apply Over The Musk sparingly — its base notes bloom slowly and last throughout the day. It's best for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves subtly with your surroundings.
