The review

On paper, Eau De Musk is a strong bet if you want Le Lion for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Lion's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 61% less than Le Lion — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot, lemon and grapefruit, turns to labdanum and amber, and settles into vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood. That is the brief Eau De Musk is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • lemon
  • grapefruit

Heart

  • labdanum
  • amber

Base

  • vanilla
  • patchouli
  • sandalwood
Sunlit citrus giving way to deep labdanum amber and vanilla, regal and enveloping.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 2 twins of Chanel Le Lion we can price, Eau De Musk is number 2 on price per 100ml.
