Launched in 2003, Mure et Musc Cologne by L'Artisan Parfumeur is an exquisite blend crafted by perfumer Akiko Kamei. This unisex fragrance opens with the vibrant freshness of citrus and green notes — bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange — that immediately capture attention. As these top notes settle, a heart of jasmine emerges to soften the composition before it descends into a warm musky base that provides both depth and comfort.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are enough to capture its essence. The citrus and green top notes fade within an hour but leave a lingering musk that stays close to skin throughout the day.
