💘✨ Happy Valentine’s Fragrance Friday! ✨💘
A nice coincidence that it's on the same day! So, in typical Kol fashion, I prepared something special. It’s a well-known secret that smelling nice increases one’s chances of finding love, and (allegedly) animalic notes help with that. And that’s where today’s feature, Kiehl's Original Musk No. 1, comes in. According to the story, it was nicknamed Love Oil... so I’d say it’s a fitting choice for today. 💖
The scent:
Musk has long been associated with warmth, intimacy, and se... sensuality. Musk No. 1 has a classic warmth with a slightly sweet, vintage musk scent profile. But there’s more: some florals, and probably some good old aldehydes give it that clean-soapy-handwash vibe. I wanted to consider it the poor man's Musc Koublaï Khän, a frag I’ve wanted for a while and didn't pull the trigger on a good deal recently, so got this instead. But for what it is, it’s a well-balanced take on musk. Nothing too wild, just smooth and inviting. If only I could sniff an old version. 🖤
The photo:
For the visual, I went with the Love Oil theme. The deep tones and soft textures aim to visualize the skin-like feel that musk is known for. I also wanted to create something that reflects the scent’s rich and classic character as well. The look may or may not have been somewhat inspired by adult scenes in ‘70s movies. 🙈
Hope you like it! What’s your go-to scent when you want to feel super attractive?
