El Nabil Pocket Musk

Twenty El Nabil musks in 5 ml roll-ons, alcohol-free, applied straight onto the skin with the ball. The bottle fits in a pocket and can be reopened as often as needed during the day: that is its whole purpose.

Which musk should you choose?

• Musc Blanc — the most neutral and the most powdery, the one to start with.
• Musc Halima — soft, slightly fruity floral, very popular.
• Musc Coco — milky and gourmand, rounded, pleasant during the day.
• Musc Royal Gold — amber and dressier, the most present of the four.
• Musc Boisé — dry woods over a musky base, for those who find the others too sweet.

Alcohol-free: application and staying power

The formula is oily. It does not evaporate all at once like an eau de parfum: it releases slowly, without the cold sensation of alcohol on application. Allow two to three hours on the skin, much longer on a shirt collar, a scarf or a jacket lining. Roll it onto the wrists, the base of the neck or behind the ears, and leave to dry without rubbing — rubbing disrupts the development of the accord.

Topping up during the day

This is the use the format exists for: one application in the morning, a second around midday, a third before going out. Five millilitres applied a drop at a time make a great many applications, and the bottle goes in cabin baggage without any problem.
