Pure Musk by Afnan captures the creamy, musky DNA of Musk Therapy reasonably well, with similar spicy top notes and a warm, aromatic base. However, the clone lacks the refined transparency and airy quality of the original, feeling slightly more linear and less complex as it develops on skin.
Afnan's version has slightly less longevity (6-7 hours vs 8+ hours) and a reduced sillage projection. The ambrette seed note in the original adds a subtle fruity sweetness that's less pronounced in the clone, making it feel marginally flatter overall.

โThis was a blind buy and I love it! It smells like baby powder. The longevity, sillage and projection are crazy.If you want to smell like powder, this is it. This is not a safe blind buy though. Some of my friends did not like it and said that it smells like an old person (their perfumes are freshies and gourmand). My other friends loved it and said it smells like a baby (their perfumes are freshies and powdery).I personally love powdery scents and this has become one of my favorites.โ
โI love this more on my clothes tbh than my skin. It's very sharp when you first spray it, but that dry down hours later is so nice!! Very clean, smells like the remnants of laundry. lasts way longer on clothes. I sprayed this on my hoodie last night around 2 am and it's still strong at almost 7pm this evening.โ
โThis has now macerated a bit. It is a very clean and powdery scent. The longevity and projection is super, especially considering the pricepoint. It's very unisex and I think anyone could wear it. It's very inoffensive, however, maybe a bit boring? It doesn't really evolve into anything, if maybe a tad bit more powdery?It's not for me, but the quality is nice, so if you like to smell like a powdery soap - then I would definately recommend it. Personally I spray it around the house.โ
