The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Musc Monoi by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur was launched in 2014, crafted by the house's founder Patricia de Nicolai. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of citrus and fresh accords with an enveloping musky base, featuring notes like lemon, neroli, ylang-ylang, calone, coconut, jasmine, magnolia, and sandalwood. The opening is crisp and bright, giving way to a heart that marries the sweetness of ylang-ylang and jasmine with the subtle freshness of calone. The base is anchored by musk and sandalwood, creating a warm and comforting finish.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers, as the bright citrus top notes are fleeting but the musky base develops over time. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet warm presence.
