Parfum
High concentration, roughly 20 to 30 percent aromatic oils. Wears long and close to skin, less projection but more intense one-on-one. Meant to be worn sparingly and dabbed rather than sprayed.

Pure Oil Of Musk by Carolina Herrera is described as a straightforward and intense musk fragrance. Users often note its strong, animalic quality, which can be polarizing; some love its raw and sensual nature, while others find it too overpowering or one-dimensional. It is frequently recommended for intimate settings or cooler weather due to its heavy and enveloping scent. However, the lack of complexity, with no heart or base notes, leaves some feeling it is not worth the price.
