What people who wear Swiss Arabian Secret Musk report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“On my skin, this is a stronger more rose forward Le Labo Rose 31. I have both and they smell similar on my skin. So if you liked Le Labo Rose 31 and are looking for a cheaper alternative you may like this. Simply rose with a woody, oudy, musk. Lasts well as it is an oil. Affordable.”
“I can barely smell anything here. I’ve had this issue with some of Swiss Arabian’s other musk fragrances, so it might just be me. Not sure if my nose simply can’t detect musk or if this is just very subtle. All I could smell was some combo of aldehydes and faint pink pepper.”
“I really wanted to love this, because I love musk. But I prefer a more powdery creamy sandalwood musk, and this is definitely a fruity fresh musk. I do like to wear it now and then, the packaging is beautiful… I’m trying to find another oil or attar to layer it with to get more of the scent I’m looking for. I’m really into layering and mixing fragrances and oils. Karina Rose by Al-rehab might be a good mix. I’ll update later and let ya know.”
