I have worn this since it was first released. I always kept a little inventory of cologne, powder, perfumed skin softener. One day I ran out and found out it had been discontinued. I am so disappointed. I hope they bring it back. It is similar to Jovan Musk for Women, only deeper and softer.

I have been wearing this parfume for so long I can't remember a time when I didn't have it on. It has become a part of my identity if fits my personality..i's not sweet, too flowery or too overpowerting. I prefer the nice light woodsy smell. People have identified me with this smell for well over a decade. I want it back!!!

I am saddenend Avon has discontinued it, and have already appealed for its return.

My mother has this perfume and - to me- is anything else than a soft musk! It's a thick, 'watery' musk that brings me nausia after some minutes.
Very flat and 'basic' structure perfume.
Sorry, I don't like it.

I heard many good comments on this perfume from a friend. Was really excited to try it out. But before buying it, i asked my friend to bring her perfume for me. Let me tell u that i was VERY VERY VERY disappointed after smelling it. It smells like incense, sth which i dnt like to smell! Also smell like a baby cologne. No lasting power at all, it smells like powder after 5 minutes! I do NOT recommend it if u are looking for a good quality perfume which has long lasting power

As it's name suggests, this really is a soft musk- no harshness or chemical smell to me. It is a warm snuggly scent- yes, sexy but in a girl next door non-threatening way! I love to wear this when I put my fuzzy PJ's on in an evening- fresh from a hot bath- and I love the way it lingers on the PJ's so I can enjoy the base notes the next morning when I get out of bed!
I know Avon comes under fire from the fragrance enthusiasts, but for me, you like what you like- and I like this as much as I like my Guerlain, YSL and L'Occitane fragrances.

I love a nice, warm non-fruity musk. It is close to one's skin with the slight animalistic and primal smell. It shouldn't be cloying but comforting. Ideally musk is what we probably think we should smell like when we perspire. Avon's Soft Musk is perfect for everyday wear. Tom Ford's Urban Musk is very sexy and not appropriate for work or anywhere else where a conservative approach to fragrance is required. I think it is great for night and if you are brave, you can wear it during the day. Soft Musk is a perfect alternative to Urban Musk.

Now, I know Avon and Tom Ford are polar opposites but they've both formulated a perfect musk. Soft Musk starts off with very obvious yang ylang that overpowers the musk but this note fades quickly. The rose, vanilla and Jasmine ever so slightly soften the primal musk and make it feminine. One is left with a feminine musk appropriate for work and casual occasions. One can add Urban Musk without it clashing. In comparison to Kiehl's Musk Oil I think this is a great alternative. I love the Kiehls musk oil but not the spray. Soft Musk is exactly what I want in a musk during the day.

I count my blessings my nose interprets Avon's Soft Musk as the sexy beast it is (to my nose!).

There is an unfortunate stigma attached to Avon perfumes which often amuses me, but each to their own is my motto.

Soft Musk is dreamy. The "softness" hovers above a virile musk, a diaphanous curtain of creamy petals and wispy spices screening a strapping, vigorous, lusty and forceful musk. Its innate potency slowly revealed as your body warms up.

Soft Musk it seems is a treasure for a select few.

More for us I say!

Just got that one, it smells like musk as I have always known it, not special thus. I have the body cream, shimmering powder and now the perfume. I smell a pure musk with alcohol.

I like this, it smells very much like Jovan Musk but has a slightly fresher more floral feel to it, which I prefer. It feels clean and comfortable, very nice for the price!

I had to return this fragrance back to an Avon lady. It is really bad! Strong alcohol opening followed by horrid yang-yang (not mentioned among the notes) developing into TBS White Musk only somehow aged and tired. By no means I am a fragrance snob but this I would not like to get even for free.

This is a good old classic from Avon which is not subjected to reformulation.

It's comforting, light, and as the name suggests, soft. It has a surprisingly good sillage. Good to combine with the body cream.

Soft Musk also reminds me of old days. I wear this occasionally when I like to feel particularly younger.

Asked for this when I was twelve and got it for christmas. It's all warm and furry like snuggling in bed with the cat. I get quite a sticky synthetic musk from this, which if you spray it and breathe it in by accident, you can feel coat the inside of your mouth. But I get the same thing from Nu by YSL and I like that too.
Easily recognized, don't think the formula has changed? Don't really want to be reminded of being twelve but a fresh unjaded nose ought to like this. What's not to like?
Soft spicy musk, rose, jasmine and vanilla. Lasts very well for the price.

I was excited to get this because I was looking for something that I could wear in the day to so to school, the grocery store, w/e. When i opened the box and saw the bottle I thought it was very simple but nice, however when I sprayed a bit on my wrist I was taken aback by how weird it was. It smells strongly of deodorant and baby powder but has a slightly urinlike smell. I decided that maybe it was just the beginning and it might change into something nicer, but it didn't it just gave me a headache and I now have a perfume I am disgusted with. I will probably be the grinch and give it away to some poor unsuspecting family member for xmas, lets hope they like it more than I do, because its pretty bad, and cheap smelling.

I love this stuff! It smells like a fairy tale- maybe Sleeping Beauty. It is soft, powdery, and romantic. I love to wear it to bed. Like so many others this was one of my first perfumes given to me by my mother. I'm in my late 20's now and I still love it. It's a classic.

A soft powdery musk. Very unintrusive. Every so often I get a whiff of this fragrance on someone else and it reminds me how much I like it. I wear it for a few days, loving it, and then I lose interest and go on to something else. What makes it unintrusive also makes it easy to let go of.

I used to like this fragrance years ago, when my aunt used it. It had such a romantic air that would suddenly get you daydreaming. I couldn't help but sniffing my aunt's bottle :) Then one day I got it for myself. But I put it on three times at most before I gave it to my mom. I don't know why but it felt way too romantic and feminine and the dry down became sweat-like and cloying that I just couldn't bear it at the time. All I can say about it now is that: It's. Just. Musk -surprising, isn't it :) Just powder and musk... Its lasting power is medium by the way.

This baby arrived todIay at my house and I'm impressed. This smell reminds me of someting related with my childhood but I cant remember what. Probably somebodys house. I think its lovely, soapy, a perfect skin scent, it will be my bed time perfume. It opens with a white musk and jasmine note, but after a while I can smell the rose the woods and in the end the vanilla. Its quind of a talc powder scent, but beautifull and soft...I love it, its the perfect scent for a new mum too.
Sexy in a certain way, it reminds me of the skin of a woman after making love. Its amazing 5*
Update: It can be a little bit boring because its linear. I love the smell of it on my hair (the mix with m honey shapoo its really nice), but on my skin I can only smell the white musk, the jasmine, rose and vanilla notes were gonne sudenly

Wow! so unexpected!
At first it reminded me of an old Polish perfume that was very popular in Russia when my Mum was a young lady - it was called May be, smelled nice and non pretentious, but lasted very little.
Soft Musk is a more intense version of this nostalgic scent, and also more complicated and powdery.Classic, powdery but not overly so, and utterly lovely.Sweet, gentle musk combined with some resinous notes with an old fashioned rose and intense jasmine in the background. Lasts forever, costs little and it is one of the most pleasant latest finds of mine.

This is a lovely fragrance and smells exactly like its name Soft Musk. It has good sillage and lasts four to five hours on me. It is blended very well.

The longer I wear it, the better I like it. It smells really, really good. Such a deal! I like it so much I just ordered the body lotion from eBay.

I love Soft Musk by Avon!! I started using this when I was like 12 or 13 it was one of my very first perfumes. Recently I bought a few bottles on sale at Avon and it's actually better then before to me!! I use it as an upper body spray and perfume. So deep and musky true with just alot of depth great for true musk lovers like me!

It was my signature scent in my highschool years in Europe...and I didn't even know it :) ..it was packaged and named differently.
I also remember it being a stronger scent, but it's still lovely. A warm comfort scent, refined as opposed to notes screaming. It's not a vanilla scent, not sweet, not dry, it has a dark dynamism to it.
