On the website Ms. Orbison says about designing Pretty Woman, “It has been a life-long dream of mine to create a fragrance that speaks to women everywhere.” I hate to contradict the lovely and talented Ms. Orbison but she has created a fragrance that speaks to me and last time I checked I wasn’t a woman. In truth what she has created is a beautiful underrated and undiscovered gem appropriate for anyone who loves great fragrance.
The new Montale release Black Musk smells like the love child of Black Aoud and Musk to Musk. This isn’t a bad thing especially if, like me, you like both of the fragrances whose DNA make up Black Musk.

Each year, the Six Scents Parfums fragrance initiative brings the experience of creativity with a conscience to the world through a collection of six unisex scents. Created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers, these limited edition fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Perfumers Yann Vasnier, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Christophe Raynaud, Mary Katrantzou, Stephen Nilsen and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto collaborated with Designers Alexis Mabille, Mary Katrantzou, Junn.J, Rad Hourani, N.Hoolywood, and Ohne Titel. A percentage of proceeds will go towards War Child International, which works with children all over the world to reduce poverty, to provide education and to defend their rights.
