Description
Ferrari Essence Musk offers a combination that with its sophistication and luxury describes the details and strict selection of the best and most precious ingredients preferred by Ferrari. The composition is built around white musk, while accentuating the comfort of a Ferrari interior, its sensual curves and the powerful engine of the motor. Top notes provide white grapefruit as the most precious grapefruit sort, combined with sea notes and beautiful, fresh, juicy and green mandarin leaves. The most dominant notes in the heart are nutmeg, white mint, water melon and lavender, while the base incorporates vetiver bourbon, amber, cedar and fresh, sensual white musk.
In order for Essence Musk to leave a long-lasting trail on the skin, perfumers of the house of Symrise added a special molecule called SymFresh, which will enable an enduring and extremely fresh effect. The fragrance is constructed as a citrusy-marine-musky composition. It has been on the market since the beginning of 2013, as 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

gorgeous light soft and clean, like a cloud. such a beautiful enveloping scent but something thats much more for the wearer than for others.

Regret buy even for 20$.
Synthetic, cheap smelling and light.
Got rid of it.

This is OK fragrance. Not mindblowing or anything. I detect mostly soft spices and citrus. Good for casual day or work, daytime.
6.5/10

I’m relieved this doesn’t smell like the usual soapy white musk. Instead it’s a sweetish citrusy scent.
As I’ve said elsewhere, I’ve been spoiled by Atelier Cologne’s citruses. But, I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a solid perfume in a nice bottle, on a budget.

Clean semi-sweet fruity crowdpleaser with a dash of sea salt effect. Reminds me of the synthetic musky drydown of Versace Pour Homme after the initial sparkling lemonade freshness has subsided. This musk plus seawater combo is also similar to the ambergris and seawater combo of Invictus and Bulgari Aqua Pour Homme Atlantique. But it’s much more reasonably priced. The watermelon note is distinguishable in the first hour or so, after that, it’s just general fruity sweetness on the musk. There is also something plasticky on the background, as other reviewers have noted, but it didn’t bother me much. Maybe it could begin to get on your nerves after a while, or it could give you an urban vibe… Longevity seems to be fine, sillage adequate. You could do worse.

Thank!

The Ferrari Essence line continues to impress me with their releases which have proven to be somewhat unique, quality fragrances. Essence Musk is no different, a sort of sparkly white/silver fragrance with light fruity tones swirling within an exceptionally clean and clear variety of musk. The combination of mint, watermelon and the watery marine notes come together to leave behind this sparkling silver/white sheen very evocative of the bottle in which its housed. Essence Musk is ethereal in terms of its density, making it appropriate for warmer temperatures and times of the year. It’s diffusive and light and can be applied generously. As is often the case with musk-centric fragrances, Essence can easily be dressed up or down, so while it’s definitely not a formal style of scent, it can work that way if one wishes. Finally, the automobile theme is somehow tied into Essence for me as I get subtle notes of rubber and vinyl in the base. I don’t know if this was intentional or just an odd coincidence resulting from a certain combination of base notes, but their presence is undeniable at least on my skin. Musk is not a particularly watery fragrance–I wouldn’t classify it as an aquatic despite the watermelon and marine notes in the pyramid–its more of what’s stated in its name, a musk fragrance with a sparkling, diffusive character. Overall it’s a unique addition to my wardrobe and something I’m looking forward to wearing now that the weather is right. Thumbs up.
Side note: Musk’s bottle is very well-done. A sturdy bottle painted in a beautiful pearl-white with silver accents. It looks great on the shelf.

It reminds me of Versace Eros but can be used on daytime since it’s fresher. Longevity is bad. 2 hours on skin and you won’t smell anything.
Is it really an EDP?

Keydayovada – :
So soft, clean, & lovely. Reminds me a lot of Davidoff Hot Water Night, although the smell is different, they both emit the same vibe.
A very good & light versatile fragrance with a good longevity.
Thumbs up!

Very nice spring and summer scent. I get the smell of watermelon right off the bat. The grapefruit and all that is added to it brings a very warm seasonal smell to you for he spring and summer. A good pick up for a good and affordable price. To me a good pick up.

After the release of the first two fragrances of the Essence Collection – Essence Oud and Silver Essence – in 2012, Ferrari realized that there was much more to show and that it was possible to create more sophisticated scents with better ingredients. So, in 2013, the brand launched two new fragrances: Essence Musk and Leather Essence.
Essence Musk arrives in the standard bottle, which was created for this collection, bringing special paints and impeccable finishing, as metal lid and leather. The white color pays tribute to the purity and intensity of the headlights of the GT models (Gran Turismo), which are the inspiration for the whole line. The white, immaculate, portrays the transparency and clarity of the materials, as components of the cars.
The official composition has notes of bergamot, Mandarin leaves, white grapefruit and marine notes, in the output. In the body of the fragrance were combined notes of lavender, watermelon, nutmeg and white Mint. Finally, at the base, we can find notes of amber, cedar, Bourbon vetiver and white musk.
On the skin, Essence Musk is clear and soft. It has that cleansing aspect already known in fragrances with good amount of musks. Unfortunately, I can’t identify the denser notes, such as nutmeg, vetiver or amber. Basically, the fragrance revolves around citrus nuances, contains a good cedar and, of course, the musk, reason of its existence. In addition, it cannot be said that Essence Musk is innovative, because the impression I have is that the company took its Scuderia Ferrari Light Essence Bright and faceted it, as you do with rough diamonds. And I say more: although Ferrari makes scents aimed at male audiences, this fragrance is also shareable, as well as the other, which was released as unisex but few people knew it.
On the other hand, Essence Musk is the kind of fragrance that grows on your skin over time. I remember that I’ve tested it before, at an airport shop, and didn’t enjoy it. I thought it soft and too simple compared to others I tested at the same time. Today I think different! I realized that, even though mild, the fragrance exudes a lot, making itself noticed and fulfilling its role. The first 3 hours of use are the most intense. About the lasting: it is very noticeable for about 5 hours and remains on the skin for at least 8 hours. On my skin, that’s all.
Essence Musk is made for those who like or need softer fragrances, without giving up quality. In my opinion, works as a good sportive fragrance also, although it has not been created for this purpose. But the white colour also suggests me another old cliche: the medical field. If I were a dentist, dermatologist or any other profession of the type, which needs close contact with the patient, conveying cleansing, comfort and quality, Essence Musk would be another white item being placed in my bag for sure.
Therefore, if you don’t like fragrances that are too sweet or not tolerate bombs rich in spices, always giving preference for simple and lighter scents, it’s worth testing Essence Musk sometime.

This fragrance are used by my close friend named dr.taha he is also a perfume smeller and elite gentlemen send him lots of fragrance and he says the frag is awesome. Musk notes are favouable and longevity is long enough to keep the day. Recommended.

I was expecting too much from a car manufacturing house….it is not more than another generic smelling musky cologne…somehow similar and in the same so so league of nautica voyage and stuff like that…a pass for me…I am tired of smelling average or chea`p
Scent: 6
performance: 7
versatility: 7
bottle design: 9
I will not even bother to try any other from this house if they´re all on the same league…Ferrari uomo was ok…but not as good or refined as Dior F.
anaatol007 – :
received a decant today, and it turns me from a dislike into a like button. i sniffed it like month ago or so, and i sniff it again today, and wow.. this smells quite different on skin. so make sure you test it on skin.
Scent : 7.5 out of 10
Longevity : 8 out of 10 (6-8 hours on skin)
Projection : Moderate
Overall : Try before you buy.
ray1979 – :
Blind buy this perfume. Not to fresh but clean and so synthetic .. I can’t smell citrus. not bad but i think it’s not my signature. Beautiful bottle design with leather strip on cup.
scent 6/10
sillage 6/10
longevity moderate
adman-dst – :
This one is a common-smelling, sportive/ casual, non-sweet, soapy scent, that is made long-lasting with excessive musk. Blind buyers should understand this is just clean, heavy-fresh-smelling, despite all the listed notes.
From the notes, all what I can detect are the musk, lavender, and the bitter grapefruit. Nothing extraordinary, but it could be a basic option for hot summers. No regrets when bought at a good deal.
When consumed, I will not repurchase, as there are many other better options, and lavender is so strong in this one.
ADAMANT92 – :
Perhaps that scent does not make the huge step in development of perfume art , but it isn’t possible to refuse Ferrari Essence Musk the real dash. First thing is the bottle- it is one of the nicest and heaviest bottles I have or I ever had. And the second thing : the content of course – it’s superb ozonic /aquatic /aromatic scent -it contains a lot of musk but the sweetness is not female or nauseous -it’s in 100% masculine-maybe because there’s a very well noticeable herbal note, too.
Additionally, the mixture is very long perceptible on its owner and applying the perfume is really comfortable – the smell is not too offensive but simultaneously people around will smell perfume for sure.
Compliments from the fair sex – ensured! 🙂

I have bought Essence Musk for less than $13 (tester). The bottle is heavy, really heavy. What I like is the bottle came with a cap. The smell is fresh, manly and fruity sweet. Watermelon is really noticable in it. I think it would be perfect for spring and summer.
Good sillage and longevity too.
khmelev-roma – :
Essence Musk is a grassy, manly, fruity fragrance to me, what I get is like a green herbal Mint, with Grapefruit and White Musk, nothing special but I really like it, longevity and projection are just perfect for me, it is more than average. Probably Essence Musk and Leather Essence are my 2 favourites from the Essence Line, if you like non-offensive, simple but good fragrances, try it, the botle is great, it is heavy, the cap is metal with leather stripe, I give Essence Musk a 8/10
kim-lebedev – :
A great alternative to Creed’s Millesime Imperial that lasts. Very underrated and undiscovered.

It was so hard to find this parfum and I was surprised and happy to find it here in Manila, it was a little pricey, but I say it’s worth it. I live in a tropical country where I could use this everyday.
Someone compared it to Lacoste L12 white and I have them both, so I did a comparison with one spray of Lacoste and Ferrari on both of my wrist.
This is my honest review:
At first few seconds they both have the citrusy scent, but the similarity stopped at around 5 minutes.
The Lacoste stayed citrusy with a prominent sweet watermelon, while the Ferrari had little citrus but had prominent sweet musk.
After 1 hour the Lacoste still had a little watermelon but the powdery scent was overtaking, the Ferrari lost the citrus and was replaced by sweet watermelon and aquatic at the same time and the sweet musk was still prominent.
After 2 hours the Lacoste stayed the same with powder watermelon but it was barely noticeable. Ferrari still has great aquatic and sweet musk.
After 5 hours and Lacoste was almost unnoticeable, but the Ferrari was still good with aquatic and sweet musk and I am really impressed with the longevity of this parfum.
The only gripe I have is I wish it was little cheaper.
BTW Lacoste doesn’t have watermelon listed on the notes, but I really swear on smelling it prominently.
Deroxoxihf – :
This scent is nice, fresh and clean smelling but nothing original or remarkable. It is very usual inoffensive mass appealing fragrance. Becoz of its citrus and mineral notes it reminds me a lot of Bvlgari Aqua Marine but with better longevity. Its not extraordinary like oud essence which I didnt like personally because of sweet rose but the smell is unusual and uniQue. Packaging is same I think its quiet expensive and doesnt worth a bottle I would buy it if it would be lot cheaper.
I give ot 6.8 out of 10.
