Musc de Soie
Spirit
White musk truly comes into its own on the skin, projecting a contrasting scent that’s velvety yet radiant. Always prized by perfumers for its power to round out and bind notes together in perfect harmony, its alchemy illuminates the other ingredients, like a mirror reflecting light in all directions. The result is a bold, enveloping sillage with an elusive radiance.

The intention
“Musk is an ingredient that has always fascinated me,” says perfumer Sophie Labbé, creator of this new fragrance for Van Cleef & Arpels. For Musc de Soie, I shaped it in several ways: first light and radiant, then more enveloping to create a warm halo. Its luminosity develops gradually, as it becomes one with the skin.”
