What wearers say
“First impressions: Very clean scent, very soapy, with musk. For me it's an old lady scent for some reason. Great projection (I sprayed into a strip and could smell it from another room). But for me it's really overpriced, I bought it because I was really curious, but it's not worth it.After wearing: strong projection and long lasting, super clean soapy scent.”
“I tried to resist the temptation and buck the “hard to get” marketing strategy, but after sampling, I fell in love…and lucked out during the June drop. It’s really beautiful on my skin; warm, cozy, elegant, very versatile and all seasons appropriate IMO. Great longevity (min 6-8 hours) and sillage. I have Pure Musc Blanc as well, which I also love, but to me, while similar in profile, they are distinct and different enough that having them both is not redundant. Worth the price (impressive presentation as well!).”
“This is very nice (not exceptional though) and what I wanted/expected Musc K by Ella K to be after all the hype it gets. I can see some similarities to Valaya but Valaya opens a bit more schreechy and there's a lot going on there. This is softer and quite linear in time. Longevity and sillage are good. Also,the name is misleading as I am not picking up any cedar in this. Do I think is worth the $$$? Probably not. I got a 10 ml bottle decanted from a friend and will stick with it. Another one that went viral just like Ella K. I was so underwhelmed by Ella K.”
