Monsieur Musk Houbigant for men

This was my dad's signature cologne. When he died I grabbed his half used bottle from the bathroom. For the last 10 years I couldn't bring myself to smell it - it was just to painful. But yesterday I found it in a drawer and decided to close my eyes and take a whiff. It was as if my dad was right there beside me and I wasn't sad at all. A sense of peace came over me. The scent was just so perfectly masculine and comforting. It fit my dad's character perfectly...classy, masculine and strong.

An oriental that feels like a floral. I will edit this short review as soon as possible.

A really nice inexpensive men's fragrance. Quite potent, would like more of this. Jovan Musk is equally as good in my opinion.

The only musk I will wear. I have not tried it since Dana Fragrance has taken over the rights to this - I do hope they did not play with the blend.

Usually musk is just too powdery and effeminate smell but Monsieur Musk has this blend of greens and tobacco along with the musk that make this scent unique and wearable on my skin.

A cheapy but goodie!

This is all my husband wares!!!!!! I love this scent on him, I have never smelled this on any other man other than my own!

Tiny Tim - I just found this, and in case you ever come back ... the Old Stuff still works. I have a bottle from the mid-70's and just now dabbed on a tiny bit (All It Takes!) and am preparing to lock the doors.

I have forgotten my password. Can you help me? I need to place an order for my husband! Thank you.

So, the assortmemet of fragrances is astounding. I am 57 and the first I ever used were my Dad's classics back in 1965! Old Spice, Mennen's, Brut, Hai Karate, Canoe and British Sterling, and just discovered Mounsieur Musk in 2007 and it was purchased due to the highly postive effect it had on several women. Others hated it,,,There are strong masculine romantic overtones and add a dash of Athena Pheromone! I am married now but in the not too distant past, success of dating was actually associated with this form of Musk. The first dude who shared with me his smell that was magic with the women and he said that I need to get "the real Monsieur Mus by Houbigant)..bought out by Dana in 1995/6,so somewhere on some shelf lies the old stuff. Sherlock Holmes is looking. Anybody seen or smelled the one prior to 1995? Would the chemicals stay stable of out of light and normal room temp storage? Viking

I don't like this scent ... smells like an old man's cologne, a scent truly outdated .I've purchased a little bottle because of good reviews and I guess I'll give it away as a gift now...

Simply superb!

I grabbed it more due to my curiosity, and actually didn't expect that it smells so nice. I thought a scent from that era(70s) might be too "dated" for nowadays tastes but I know now I was wrong!

Monsieur Musk is a fresh green musk scent with considerably tobacco undertone, quite classic structure. But it suprised me that it's so well-balanced, the not-too-dry green herbal accompanied slightly spiced notes, subtle clean musk (compare with nowadays super clean, pale, and in face musk) and smoky-but-no-dirty tobacco take turns "sing" their parts, either a solo or a choir, and the whole scent is in a heavenly harmony.
There's not anything tricky or edge in this scent and it smells just great and classy.

I don't know the dana's version, it maybe lost some of its quality but still remainds as one of the nicest masculine scents.

I am trying to find Houbigant Musk for women, probably about the same time frame as Monsieur Musk (1972). Can you help me please?
