This is a staple for me and its my daily fragrance. I think the price is very reasonable and the EDT is about 1/2 the cost of many other fragrances. I get so many compliments on this, both men and women. I layer it with the EDT and it lasts about 4 hours which is a bit depressing but I can reapply if necessary. I wish that it wasn't in a glass bottle because I have dropped it before and of course it shattered so I am very careful with it but because its an oil it can get slippery and if I put it like smack in the middle of my clevage you can see it which looks weird. Its a very sexy fragrance. Some people don't really care for musk though so I admit its not for everyone which is good, I like wearing a fragrance that is unusual. Another thing I will say is that it doesn't ever give me a headache. One of my other favorite scents is Coco Mademoiselle and if all the stars aren't aligned I usually end up with a headache when I wear it.

I originally tried some of this on while shopping and walked away, thinking..."Meh!" As I continued shopping, the smell grew on me, and I couldn't stop sniffing and sniffing and sniffing....and sniffing...my wrists because I just loved it so much! I had to go back and buy myself a bottle of the musk oil. Since then, I've had to restock on another bottle and also have gotten the roll on. I do find that the roll on I have smells a little sharp and not as nice as the bottle.

I've had coworkers and friends lean in and smell me and say I smell really good! It's just a nice, day to day smell that never gives you a headache or is too in your face. I probably have at least 10 perfumes that I haven't even finished, let alone buy more of. That speaks for itself! Love this.

I've been buying Kiehl's original musk since the 80's...boy does that age me. I've worn it off and on, but when I'm in the mood for musk, almost nothing else will do. Sadly, it looks as if Kiehl's is cutting back on the musk line according to their website...why??? It's what made them. It could be their own fault though...back about 10 + years ago, the bigger spray bottle, if I'm not mistaken, was a EDP that lasted forever and was awesome...I always think of it as a warm golden brown creamy skin scent, I repurchasd the big bottle about 5 years ago, and immediately noticed a change,,,it's now an EDT and much lighter...I was so disappointed. I bought the small rollerball musk which was ok, but I think it's been through at least two reformulations,. It seemed much stronger back in the day, so maybe it was modernized? Anyway.....today's Keihtls is good, but a shadow of what it used to be, I might try the bottle of oil and see if I have any luck.

I love this scent!! I wear it all the time. The oil is so MUCH better than the spray. It is truly musky so not for everyone but if you like musk, this is the gold standard! Classics are classic for a reason and this is a classic.

I bought this a few years ago and ended up swapping it away, it just wasn't earthy/soapy enough for me....too dirty. I am not sure if I got a bad batch or my tastes have changed, but I am so glad I got another bottle. I know Jovan is really popular here, but I could just never get into it, it is too sharp. This is what I as hoping Jovan would be. It is slightly soapy and earthy, stays close to the skin but it makes an appearance every once and awhile, especially if it is hot outside. I purchased this with the lotion and am loving both, the lotion is very potent, but not so much as to overpower when worn together. I think this oil smells very close to Kuumba made's Oriental Musk, only softer. Also, it smells lovely with Kuumba's Tunisian Patchouli!

Well, I'm going to really date myself here, but I've been wearing this oil since I was a teen, lol. Did you know that Kiehl's was a brick-and-mortar before it went mainstream? Yep. I would go down to The Village in NYC to pick this up back in the late 1970's early '80's. It actually came out the year I was born! This particular musk is one of those that I always have laying around, sort of like a forgotten teddy bear or a doll that you "think" you've outgrown, only to find yourself digging around for when you want a classic "skin" scent. It's comforting, mysterious, long-lasting and wears well on my (dry, sensitive) skin for hours. A true classic. I'm not fragrance savvy enough to detail the combination of oils, but Kiehl's says there are 122 separate oils that make up this blend. Not sure how/if the formula has changed over the years, however it smells the same to me as it did when I was a kid and I stll love it.

I came to musks from my childhood memories of babysitters in the 70's likely wearing Jovan or Coty musks. I loved the scent, the memory, the era. So eventually I hit the Walgreens' counter and experimented with the same but was always sorely disappointed. The scents were thin and evanescent. Then in the last few years I discovered MUA and all the obscure scents I would never EVER have come upon in my typical midwestern life. I started right in with samples of MKK and Musc Ravageur, convinced that I had the cojones to take on the pornographic reality without flinching. I was over 35 years old and quite experienced after all. After a few delicate vial sniffs of MKK, I risked full application and what ensued was the worst headache I'd had in ages. I wiped with rubbing alcohol, Dawn dishwashing detergent. I couldn't escape it and hung my head in shame. Musc Ravageur: much of the same, dialed down about 30%. I was tenacious and went back multiple times, only to retreat, fully disappointed in what I perceived to be my lack of sophistication and fearlessness. I left the musks behind only to spritz occasionally at the Walgreens counter for a quick thrill.
THEN: Kiehl's Original Musk. I was fortunate to make a wonderful swap with a MUA'er who had both the oil and a sample edt for me. This is my musk. It walks the line between the Jovan/Coty's and MKK/Musc Ravageurs with dignity and dirt and nostalgia. I only wish the scent in the oil could be sprayed - or the edt had more longevity. The two are certainly different scents, with the edt more lighthearded, bright and clean with musky, hippie undertones. And the Musk oil being like something you'd buy at a head shop complete with sanskrit label and 'made in India' on the bottom. I imagine that a Kiehl's Original Musk in eau de parfum could the the one I've been looking for all my life.

Never knew I'd be a "musk" type a person. I always associated musk for the more mature woman. But when I visited the recently opened Kiehl's store at the mall...I was perusing and found these oils. The sales person initally gave me grapefruit to smell saying that that's everyone's FAVE...but it just didn't do it for me (I'm not a fruity/sweet type of gal) Then I picked up Musk. OH EM GEE. I melted. And so I bought the oil! Not the rollerball one because that one seems to fade a lot quicker. And when I went home with it on...my husband and my cousin both exclaimed "oh my god! WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?!!?" They both jumped me and started heavily sniffing me! hahah. And I swear to you - everytime I have it on...they both do this "oh my god I'm weak at the knees" kind of motion. And they immediately know the smell. It's actually quite funny.
I'm totally a scent person, so I understand completely that perfumes will smell different on everyone because of body chemistry. But if you've never tried this yet, do yourself a favor and just take a whif! It's heaven. It's cloud 9. It's just simply amazing. It's definitely love at first sniff.

This is the first musk that I have felt compelled to own. It smells great by itself or works under other fragrances as a base. I love to mix Kiehls Musk and Kiehls Gardenia together. It gives off a cool, floral, unique vibe. This musk does have a little "skank" going on but it smells cool, almost minty or camphor-us on me. Lasts forever and makes my clothes smell amazing. I have the oil version and it's perfect. This is the website description:This modern version of our classic signature scent is based on the unique blend that is Kiehl's Musk. Our special Musk "recipe" begins with an initial creamy, fresh citrus burst of Bergamot Nectar and Orange Blossom, followed by a soft floral bouquet of Rose, Lily, Ylang-Ylang and Neroli. Finally, Original Musk Eau de Toilette dries down to a warm, sensual Oriental finish of Tonka Nut, White Patchouli and, of course, Musk, the soul of this distinctively modern scent. I don't know if I can pick up on all of these notes but I do know this is the best musk I have ever tried. SEXY all the way.

As the reviews indicate, musk oils are a very personal thing. I love Kiehl's Musk Oil and use it every day. I use it as a base scent, very sparingly applied to pulse points. It gives a warm, skin scent and amplifies other fragrances. If it works with your skin chemistry, you'll love it.
