Launched in 2019, Parisian Musc by Matière Première is a fragrance designed to evoke the understated elegance of its namesake city. Created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, it opens with Virginia Cedar, offering a crisp and fresh start that transitions into the heart note of Ambrette (Musk Mallow), adding warmth and depth. The base notes feature Musk, Ambrettolide, and Ambroxan, creating an enveloping musky-amber aroma that is both comforting and alluring.

Application Tips
Parisian Musc has a long-lasting base that builds gradually over time. A light spritz to your pulse points will allow the woody and powdery notes to develop naturally throughout the day. Best applied in the cooler hours when its warmth can be fully appreciated.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet confidence of a city street in the early evening, where soft lights cast shadows on cobblestones and the air is filled with the subtle scent of musk.
