The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, Urban Musk by Tom Ford is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women that captures the essence of modern sophistication. Created by perfumer Yann Vasnier, it opens with a fresh spicy note and honeyed sweetness before settling into an ambery, powdery base. The contrast between the crisp top notes and the warm musky heart creates a dynamic tension, making Urban Musk feel both contemporary and lasting.
Apply one to two sprays on your pulse points. The fresh spicy notes are noticeable at first but give way to the deeper ambery and powdery base within an hour. This fragrance is best for evening wear as it reads better close to skin than across a room.
