Mûre et Musc evokes picking blackberries along country paths. The then-unprecedented contrast between the juicy berry and the cottony softness of white musk made this fragrance a pioneer of niche perfumery.
A bright lemon lights up the whole. The accord was born of a meeting: in 1977 Jean Laporte showed three perfumer friends from Grasse a musky base that smelled of blackberry, and the four of them perfected it together.

Mûre et Musc in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, a pioneer of niche perfumery founded in 1976, presents Mûre et Musc as its first emblematic fragrance. This eau de toilette, dated 1978 by the house, is credited to four perfumers: Jean Laporte, its founder, Jean-Claude Ellena, Lucien Ferrero and Jean-Claude Gigodot.
The house lists three main notes, without sorting them into stages. Lemon brings a lively freshness. Blackberry, a dark, juicy fruit, gives the fragrance its fruity, slightly tart character. Musk, white and clean, wraps it up and gives it a skin-like softness. Only three materials, for a simple contrast between fruit and musk.
Mûre et Musc is worn by day, in spring and summer: in the morning, at the office, on holiday, or on a day when you want a light fragrance.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue share lemon and musk: Aqua Universalis by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, with white flowers; Cologne 352 by Ex Nihilo, with orange blossom and rose; Erba Pura by Xerjoff, with Mediterranean fruit and vanilla.
