I am not usually a musk kind of person, I like really fresh scents normally. I tried this in Kiehls store one afternoon and immediately disliked the strong smell. I left without buying the...

My KIEHL'S MUSK ESSENCE came in today. Very simple amber-glass roll-on tube in a recycled cardbord box... smaller than a lipstick. I think KIEHL'S MUSK (and I'm referring to their essential oil,...

This is a great scent that both my husband and I can wear. On him it's spicy and on me more musky/spicy. The body wash is also great. The lotion smells a little too soapy for me. Great long...

I bought this because, per reviews, I thought it could function as the poor (wo)man's MKK. And it does . . . for about 1/3 of a nanosecond. Seriously. A sniff from the bottle or immediately after...

For all the hype about this musk, I found it disappointing! Seduce me with the bottle and fragrance. Expensive...the bottle was basic considering the price. Been wearing a seductive little musk...

I was previously using the Musk eau de toilette, but I have found the oil to be vastly superior in complexity and wearability. Whereas the EDT is kind of "up your nose with a rubber hose", the oil...

Never would have tried this but for the reviews, here and elsewhere, that say it's a smellalike for Muscs Koublai Khan. Well, not really. They're similar, but in the way that, say, Guerlain...

Yay, I finally tried Kiehl's Musk oil today! I was expecting a major dirty skank-monster, though, not this sweet, creamy florally musk with just a slight hint of funk. I quite like it, but the...

Raaawrrh! This is pure, snuggly sensuality on my man. It goes on clean but earthy, like a good skin musk should. We are SL MKK lovers, but know that it just wouldn't be polite to wear it to work!...

SO much better than the EDT, very rich and deep, with a dusky sweetness that gets more appealing the longer it melts into the skin. I just bought a second little bottle. It is very compelling.

I like this much better than most musks, probably because it mixes in a bit of orange blossom that gives it a lovely base to play from. Fancier and more layered than Jovan Musk, and still clean, I...

Well I was kind of ambivalent about this at first - I really loved the idea of a fragrance oil as most sprays tend to irritate my skin. I smelled this in the shop and wasn't sure about it as it...

Kiehl's Musk Oil started on me like a confusing mix of clean baby & "funky." I loved it! I was going to go back to Kiehl's and get the "big" bottle of it after I finished a few other errands,...

This is an odd one because I finally went and tested it and loved it right away and went back to buy it the next day. I put it on aagin only to smell like pure soap. Ivory soap. Not that that's a...
