More Musk
Designed for lovers of vintage Italian drugstore scents, More Musk by Mimmina offers a nostalgia-tinged blend of raspberry, powdery rose, and clean musk. It opens with an energetic splash of mixed fruits and soft citrus before shifting into a dry, cosmetic body-powder texture. Unlike modern heavy musks that rely on dense amber, this 1995 release remains light and intimate on skin. It suits understated daytime settings, like running casual errands on cool autumn afternoons or layering after a post-workout shower. While it will not fill a room, its gentle sillage appeals to shoppers who prefer soft, laundry-clean scents over bold clubbing fragrances.

EDITORIAL“Mimmina More Musk Review: Soft 90s Raspberry Powder”
More Musk by Mimmina bursts out of the bottle with an unabashed mid-1990s character that immediately signals its era. The initial spray relies on a bright, punchy splash of tart raspberry fused with crisp citrus notes and vague orchard fruits. Rather than mimicking a heavy modern fruit syrup or sticky candy drop, this fruity opening feels dry and airy, reminiscent of raspberry pastilles lightly dusted with fine powdered sugar on a cool spring morning. It sets an upbeat tone without feeling overly childish.
Within twenty minutes of wear, the tart fruitiness recedes to make room for the central floral heart. Powdery notes take center stage during this phase, bringing a classic cosmetic face-powder texture alongside gentle rose accents and soft white floral nuances. The floral composition feels distinctly retro and clean, skipping dense indolic jasmine or heavy tropical blossoms in favor of a simple, soap-adjacent freshness that sits light on the skin throughout the afternoon.
On warm skin, the progression from fruity top notes to musky base occurs surprisingly fast. The dominant musky accord anchors the middle of the wear, wrapping the soft rose and powdery elements in a cool sheet of white musk. Light woods and subtle vanilla in the base provide just enough grounding to prevent the powder from turning overly chalky, dry, or stale over extended hours of wear on body points.
Performance remains strictly modest and intimate throughout its lifespan on skin. Total longevity reaches roughly four to six hours before the scent fades into a faint skin scent, while sillage rarely projects beyond half an arm's length. This quiet footprint makes More Musk a convenient option for mild spring days, casual office shifts, post-gym recovery showers, bedtime relaxation, or running errands in a comfortable cotton sweater.
This fragrance appeals primarily to vintage perfume enthusiasts who appreciate 1990s Italian drugstore releases and understated powdery compositions. If you expect a room-filling beast mode projector, dark patchouli, heavy amber resins, or rich gourmand vanilla, More Musk will feel underpowered and too quiet. It fits shoppers who prefer understated, clean laundry scents that stay close to the chest without overwhelming coworkers or family members.
Mimmina created an unpretentious, comforting fragrance with More Musk. While its moderate longevity means you may want a travel atomizer for all-day wear, its charming mix of tart raspberry, powdery rose, and fluffy white musk earns its keep in a casual collection. It remains a solid option for quiet spring mornings when you want a simple, clean, low-stakes scent bubble that feels easy and relaxing to wear.
