Monsieur Musk Cologne by Dana, Monsieur Musk, which was released in 1973, is an oriental scent for men. With a masculine essence, the cologne combines a rich blend of earthy woods, refreshing greens and exciting spices that produce a luxurious fragrance experience. The notes are a simple, yet powerful, blend that includes warming musk and tobacco. The latter evokes hints of caramel, whiskey and maple, all of which come together to produce an aroma that is all at once comforting, familiar and unforgettable. Spicy notes of cinnamon, clove, vanilla, pepper, mace and nutmeg are also sprinkled in to give the scent a touch of exoticness. This particular men’s cologne was originally created by the French brand Houbigant, but was later acquired by Dana, a Spanish perfume house. Originally founded in 1932 in Spain, the popular and widely-distributed perfume brand was later relocated to the United States in 1940. The brand launched their first perfume in their founding year of 1932.
