There’s a reason some fragrances feel instantly familiar—like they’ve always belonged to you. Our NEW impression, Musky Buttercream was created with that exact feeling in mind. Warm, creamy, and quietly intimate, it’s a scent designed not to perform for you, but with you. Because the truth is, the final note was never in the bottle. It was always you.
Inspired by Glossier’s You Rêve, Musky Buttercream is built note by note, starting with a warm, inviting opening of hazelnut, red fruits, and coconut. These top notes introduce a subtle sweetness—never saccharine, but always refined.
At the heart, buttercream takes center stage. Here, it’s not dessert-like, but comforting and plush, creating a creamy base that softens immediately on contact with skin. Orris adds a powdery veil, refining the sweetness and giving the fragrance its elegant, skin-like finish.
As the scent settles, white musks, sandalwood, and ambroxan emerge. These base notes don’t sit on top of the skin, but rather, they melt into it. The result is a warm, intimate scent that’s supremely memorable: It feels less like something you’re wearing, and more like something that belongs to you.
What Is Musk? And Why Does Musk Smell So Personal?
At the heart of Musky Buttercream is musk: one of the most personal and intriguing fragrance families in perfumery. Musk-forward scents are often described as “second skin” fragrances because they don’t announce themselves or fill a room. Instead, they stay close, blending seamlessly with your natural scent.
What makes musk especially compelling is how it responds to body chemistry. Skin temperature, hydration levels, natural oils, and even the environment you’re in can subtly shift how a musk develops. On one person, Musky Buttercream may read creamier and warmer; on another, softer and lightly sweet. This variability is exactly what gives musk scents their custom feel. No two wears are ever identical, even on the same person.
Musky Buttercream leans fully into this idea. Rather than masking your natural scent, it amplifies it, creating a fragrance experience that feels personal, fluid, and uniquely yours each time you wear it.
Crafted With Intention, Finished by You
To create a fragrance with this level of nuance, ingredients matter. We source premium raw materials and work with expert perfumers in the Dossier Creative Lab in Grasse, France, the historic heart of fine fragrance where many of the world’s most iconic scents are crafted.
Because Musky Buttercream melts into skin rather than sitting on top of it, it leaves a trace, not a trail. White musks, ambroxan, and sandalwood fuse with what’s already there, while orris refines the sweetness and buttercream cushions the composition. The result is intimacy without heaviness, warmth without excess. But even with the best ingredients and expertise, Musky Buttercream isn’t finished until it meets skin—and that’s intentional. Our perfumers carefully balanced each note so the fragrance could evolve naturally with the wearer. The bottle holds the blueprint, but your chemistry brings it to life.

Falling in Love With Your Scent
Musky Buttercream is an undeniably fitting Valentine’s Day scent, but not because it’s loud, sugary, or overtly romantic. Instead, it embodies a quieter kind of love: warm, familiar, and comforting at first, then increasingly magnetic as it settles into skin.
Buttercream brings softness and ease, while musk brings intimacy. Together, they create a scent that feels deeply personal—less like something you put on, and more like something that becomes part of you. Over time, the fragrance shifts subtly with your body heat, your movement, and even the pace of your day, making each wear feel slightly different from the last.
That’s what also makes Musky Buttercream such a natural everyday signature. It adapts effortlessly, moving from morning coffee runs to after-dark plans without ever feeling out of place. In cooler air, it reads cozy and creamy; on warm skin, it softens and glows. It’s a scent you can live in, not one you save for special occasions. There’s a reason fragrances like this tend to linger in memory: Scent is the sense most closely tied to emotion, and musk has a way of embedding itself into moments rather than overpowering them.
How To Layer Musky Buttercream
For those drawn to an even softer, more intimate expression, layering Musky Buttercream with Musky Violet creates a seamless peau aura. Together, the musks fuse into a second-skin scent that feels airy, delicate, and quietly addictive. Watery green violet notes add lift and freshness, while pastel hints of peach and watermelon melt effortlessly into buttercream softness. The result is discreet and enveloping. Powdery iris, sandalwood, and white musks gently warm the composition, creating a fragrance that breathes with you, lingering without ever announcing itself.
If you prefer something warmer and more cocooning, Musky Buttercream layered with It Factor offers a different kind of intimacy. Here, the buttery gourmand accord cushions the spicy spark of ginger and cardamom, softening their edges into a velvety warmth. Hazelnut and brown sugar melt into buttercream, creating a creamy, skin-hugging sweetness that feels indulgent without excess. The effect is comforting yet provocative.
Whether you gift it to yourself or to someone else, the romance of Musky Buttercream isn’t about who it’s for—it’s about who finishes it. Because in the end, the fragrance was never meant to stand alone.
The final note was always you.
