It is really weird, especially after reading all the reviews which mostly say it is “soft” – on me, it smells aggressive, really aggressive. Gardenia here is overpowerd by rose and musk, it is barely there – I know as I grow gardenias for their gentle scent. If it “is” gardenia, it is a metallic one with a heavy shadow of rose. Very synthetic and very much like Snuggle laundry softening sheets.

Bought this in Milan when my wife also smelled it at the shop and liked it. Now we’ve been wearing it couple of times but I didn’t liked it as it is heavily on gardenia. There’s no clean feel with it nor freshness. And I agree that the intensity of the vanilla should be higher as I can not notice it. I tried it in all seasons except Summer and I believe this is a fragrence for Spring. One spray is all I need untill dinner.
Sillage is OK and longevity is good. (Around 8, max 10 hours)
Not worth its high price.

Pretty much in agreement with PurpleIris49. Very fresh at first like fresh pressed linens then fairly synthetic smelling with nary a hint of musk. I’m sure it will appeal to some but I found it a bit monotonous and not worth the price they are asking. Glad I avoided a blind buy.☺️

A very likable scent but unlikeable price tag. This seems like Monegal’s motto. As mentioned already the musk is light and it’s more of a clean and natural scent. A bit boring to tell the truth as none of the notes in the pyramid really stand out. Performance is average on my skin.

The opening of this scent is one of the most amazing that I’ve experienced. It took my breathe away! I was instantly in love, until the dry down, which was some kind of ozonic or even aquatic. I have no idea where I got this from, since none of the notes mentioned indicates anything similar to that. The sillage is medium to light, but the longevity is pretty good: as of now 7 hrs. The scent is very clean and it had turned the heavily powdery opening (which was gorgeous!) into the fresh out of the shower scent.

The most difficult thing for a perfumer is to replicate the feeling of “clean.” If he succeeded by Serge Lutens with L’Eau de Serge Lutens, Ramon Monegal failed with Cotton Musk. Soft musk mixed with vetiver is nice at the beginning and nauseating after a while. I would have added a greater intensity of vanilla. I do not like it.

Cotton Musk is a pleasant, clean, slightly musky, fairly sweet and creamy skin scent. With cotton in the name, I expected it to be a bit crisper, less sweet and more soapy or detergent like. But it is actually rather soft and floral with a moderate dose of vanilla. The combination is very nice and if it were about $100 cheaper think it would have more positive reviews. It is a pleasant scent but is very light and a bit too casual and ordinary for the price. The bottle is beautiful but even with the bottle it is hard to justify the $185 price tag. It is a very nice fragrance and I like it but I expect a little more “something” in this price range.

Cotton Musk surprised me! I was expecting a creamy clean scent, perhaps one similar to Byredo Blanche or Yosh Sottile, but what I experienced with Cotton Musk was a mild, soft, infinitely soothing, low sugar version of Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum Poudree. Same creamy, smooth almondy confection (no almond listed) except not so toothachingly sweet. As with all Ramon Monegal creations, the longevity is out of this world, the silage however is not loud. I believe this was meant as a skin scent… a divinely soft, highest quality cashmere sweater that is not there to make the wearer light up the room, but to make one feel caressed, and cared for. 🙂
Update: I just received a sample of Andy Tauer PHI Une Rose de Kandahar, and it’s a dead ringer of Monegal Cotton Musk!

Cotton Musk is a lovely scent that smells just like a bathroom in the 1980s of a woman who just got finished spraying Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers.

This fragrance is a soft musky skin scent with very little sillage and moderate lasting power, I had to put a lot on to even smell it. It opens with a clean laundry musk, and some sort of ozonic note, once it dries down the incense and salty vetiver are very noticable and the vanilla gives it a gourmand feel, in fact the combination of notes smells a bit like almonds initially. The vetiver in this is so salty that you can almost taste it (sort of like the caviar note in womanity although this is the only similarity between these two vastly different scents). Overall its pleasant, clean and inoffensive for the price this scent is kind of meh.
