What people like
- Suitable for daily wear and layering
- Non-offensive and pleasant for those who do not usually like musk
- Perfect balance between sweet clean floral woody and warm
- A delicate underlying femininity to it
What people dislike
- Very light performance may frustrate some
- Extremely intimate sillage with no projection
- Fully a skin scent after 30 minutes
- Fleeting longevity requiring frequent reapplication
What wearers say
“After a sharp blast of alcohol - yes alcohol smell in a Kayali perfume - this is a weakened version of Clean Reserve Skin. A tiny touch more floral and teeny bit of citrus. Not worth it for a skin scent with no sillage. Just get Skin it is amazing, lasts a long time and no alcoholic blast.”
“Generic pleasant musky smell with poor longevity and sillage like maximum 2 hours. Overhyped and underwhelming for me. Any of the other musky similar perfumes are literally way better value and performance.”
“Was very excited to try this and had high hopes, but honestly this literally smells identical to Clean Skin Reserve except this is weaker. At least Clean Skin has decent lasting power and projection, which this doesn’t. This sits so extremely close to the skin. It’s nice and inoffensive but not worth the money.”

The original Musk 12 has superior longevity and sillage, with a more nuanced floral-musk balance, while Eshal Musk tends to lean heavier on the base musk and amber, making it slightly more linear and less complex.

The lotus note replacement softens the floral character, making the clone slightly less dense than the original. Both fragrances share nearly identical base structures, resulting in similar performance metrics.
