About Twinkle Apothecary

This Goes with Everything 

What is musk?  

As is the case with much of perfumery, it's not easy to define with words. (Thank goodness for samples!) Musk can mean different things depending on where the ingredients are derived from and how it's used. It can be both "earthy" and "clean." It's the smell of soft, clean skin. Fresh herbs and woods. Newborn babies. Ballet slippers. Fresh linen. Powder. 

Traditionally, musk was an animal-derived perfume ingredient, and most "musk" fragrances on the market today are synthetic. But of course that's not how I roll here at Twinkle Apothecary! The "musk" note in this plant-based layering fragrance is derived from a fine ambrette seed co2 extract, which comes from a variety of hibiscus commonly called "musk mallow." I've added a whisper of supporting wood and herbal notes for freshness at the top of this scent, but my intention is for this to wear like a true musk - a diffusive, sparkling, skin-forward base note upon which you can layer ANY of the other Twinkle Apothecary layering fragrances or Essential Oil Rollers. 

My favorite parings for Soft Musk include Lavender, Tea, Rose, Amber, Earth, Sandalwood, and Cream, but there are many more ways to wear it - I truly believe that this one does go with everything! 

If you're intrigued by Soft Musk but are looking for a stand-alone fragrance, I don't have anything else quite like this in my collection, yet. I suggest trying samples of Desert Musk, Sundays, or Smudge Snow from the Perfume Archives for the next closest thing. You can also design your own stand-alone fragrance using Soft Musk in the Build Your Own Scent listing. Be sure to try a sample first to see how it wears on your skin!

Strength and Wear Time

Soft but long wearing. Lasts approximately 4-6 hours on the skin. Base note.

Please note that the body oil is a much lighter dilution than the perfume and will have a lighter strength and wear time. 

Instructions

Apply directly to pulse points, spray it in your hair, or mist lightly over your clothes. 

Wear it alone, or create your own scent story by layering Soft Musk with another layering fragrance or essential oil roller. 

Ingredients

Fragrance blend: ambrette seed co2 extract, lavender essential oil, copaiba balsam, sandalwood by absolute, palo santo essential oil, organic grape spirits, organic fractionated coconut oil 

Alcohol spray base: organic grape spirits

Oil roll-on base: organic fractionated coconut oil 

Body oil base: wildcrafted jojoba oil and organic fractionated coconut oil 

Solid base: candelilla wax and organic fractionated coconut oil 

You can also choose to have another, scented botanical wax added to your solid perfume - I currently have rose, jasmine, tuberose, cassie, and violet leaf available. Please leave a note with your order if you would like one of those in addition to or instead of the unscented candelilla wax! 

If you are placing an order and would like a small sample of one of these waxes to test, please leave a note for me and I'll include it free of charge.

Smells so light and beautiful. I use it to layer with cream or Tea scents. One of my new favorites for fall.

Perfect for fall

I’m loving my soft musk spray. I have been using it on its own and also have layered it with the Cardigan scent …sooo beautiful! I have collected some very nice fall scents that go nicely with soft musk. I’m so excited because it is now my favorite.

Ooh, new favorite! It makes my month to hear that! So glad you're loving it. Thanks for the review!

Very Nice

My allergies are very fickle. And even the safest of scents set off my sinuses. This is subtle and the smell is unique and difficult for others to discern what it is. I sometimes mix this with the cream scent for added flavor!

I'm so glad that you can safely enjoy this! And, I love hearing how you make it your own with cream. That sounds perfect! Musk is definitely one of those scents that's difficult to put your finger on. Thanks so much for the review!
