A skin-scent musk that became shorthand for smelling like clean skin, not perfume

Pink pepper and a faint iris open before it settles almost immediately into a warm, ambretteforward musk with a whisper of woods underneath. It was pitched from the start as something that reacts with individual skin chemistry rather than sitting on top of it, and that ambiguity is exactly what kept people curious about it.
