Mure et Musc Cologne L Artisan Parfumeur for women and men

I dont know if i have a crazy nose or something but this scent literally made me want to vomit - i got a strong aroma of sweaty, dirty bum (seriously, i kid you not. Does no-one else get this?) laced with sickly sweetness. Literally like someone had poured some sweet, syrupy gloop down a sweaty, dirty bum-crack. Thats the mental picture i got with every sniff, and couldnt shake off (no wonder i wanted to vomit, right?). I think the musk notes in this must be the animaly, dirty type musk? (rather than the soapy, clean white musks im used to). And the sweet notes.. i have no idea what they are, but for someone who loves vanilla, pink sugar etc theyre just way too synthetically nausiatingly sweet even for me. So yeah, for a scent i was dying to sample and thought i would LOVE this turned out to be a wholly unpleasant experience. I NEVER want to have to smell this odour again. Actually, i tell you what else it reminded me of: when someone has been in the bathroom and, erm, stunk it out, and then sprayed a load of cheap sickly dewberry airfreshener to cover it up, but it just mingles into a sweet, poopy, dirty, gag-reflexing stench. Yup, thats Mure et Musc in a nutshell for me. :(

I get a fresh blast of basil in the opening and then blackberries. It becomes very purple. Quite sweet and fruity, but the musk keeps it soft, subtle and definitely grown-up. There's something very comforting about it, too. I get a little bit of Savlon. I can't stop sniffing my wrists. After it warms up and the musk comes out more, it becomes seriously sexy - like hot skin. At this point, I cannot get enough of it: it's like catnip. Very seductive on a man.

I can hardly smell this one at all. As I wrote for the Extreme version, this really smells like the body shops Dewberry but priced exhorbitantly. I will not be forking out for this at any stage. May as well buy a Britney to smell like blueberry jam.

Absolutely lovely. This arrived today and I have been wearing it all day - no citrus to speak of - it starts off immediately with very faint blackberry and musk, but gets stronger as it warms up on my skin. At no time does it become overpowering. I cannot detect any other notes than the berries and musk which is great as I would have hated them to be overpowered by jasmine or citrus. A lovely understated perfume which I will treasure.

Just adding the blackberry is VERY longlasting - 8 hours so far, with really very little musk.

And it is definitely BLACKBERRY by the way not blueberry as in the notes given above. I've picked enough of them over the years to know the scent!

Got a sample of this one, and I thought it was supposed to have sweet blackberry notes????
Well, actually, it started off very green and twiggy on my skin, with some strong citrus. Not what I expected at all. No blackberries in this one at all! It did not dry down with any warmth, although I could detect a little jasmine, and it had a slightly oily, musky, masculine edge. I would definitely say this is a unisex fragrance.

sassy1: myrtille means blueberry (I love those pies and jams the french make with them), mûre means blackberry

Well, this one is absolutely like Mure Sauvage Yves Rocher, except that Mure et Musc lasts longer. So if you liked that fruity Yves Rocher scent, you'll have to buy the same from L'Artisan. :)

I've got Eau de Mure by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier, and this one I think is Eau de mure's Elder brother (it's logic, because the founders of Gantier came from L'Artisan). Mure et musc is more warm and cosy. I don't feel any nasty citruses to my happines. Berries and basil mostly. I can characterize it as a smell of blueberries in the fir tree forest in a hot summer day. A very nice one.

Sampled this because of my blueberry addiction, but it was a huge disappointment. Very overpowering and boring. I guess the problem is the musk. I just can't stand it.

My old boyfriend absolutely adored this. Most of my friends who smelled it said it was interesting. It is definitely a unique fragrance, and I've never smelt anything similar to it.

The musk component isn't very strong on me, I mostly smell a grassy, slightly berry scent. Just a very subtle sweetness, but very "clean" overall. This is another scent that I would find very hard to overdose on. It's very unobtrusive.
