Free Essence Perfume from Elle

Posted on 09.23.2009 at 2:42 pm by in Body Products

This free Essence perfume from Elle is described as “pure and luminous, this modern musk…”

Yeah, I’m gonna stop you right there. I understand what musk officially means, but I think it’s time somebody call up Merriam-Webster and ask them to change the meaning. Musk just sounds…nasty. When I think of the word, I think of skunks. Or garbage. Maybe even mold. I can’t remember the last time somebody has described a smell as “musky” and my reaction was “oh boy, let me take a whiff!”

So with that, enjoy the musky perfume!

    Musk:
    1. a substance secreted in a glandular sac under the skin of the abdomen of the male musk deer, having a strong odor, and used in perfumery.

    YUCK!!!

    I thought musk was the mating scent of musk elephants xD…
    Musks generally smell pretty good I guess, hopefully they don’t still make it from animal’s mating glands, though.

    That reminds me of The Princess Bride when the little short guy keeps saying “Inconceivable!” and finally Montoya says, “I don’t think that word means what you think it means..” But I agree. Musk sounds dirty. Not hot dirty, but nasty dirty.

    Here is how the word “musk” should be used:
    My 6th graders are musky when they come back from gym class.
