The Unleashed Apothecary Musk Vernaculaire is a unisex chypre with animal and leathery undertones set against floral and green sides; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: Plenty of people say it suits a rainy fall evening.
How does it perform?
From 27 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

ChypreWhat does Musk Vernaculaire smell like?
The top holds ambrette, hay, frangipani and ylang-ylang, while the heart brings amyris, musk and benzoin. Civet, amber and musk settle at the base. Touches of citrus and spice lift this floral, woody, animalic structure a little.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind and summer trailing. It reads equally well on men and women and suits the cooler months. Rogue Chypre-Siam and Bogue 20 have a close profile.
