Musc Monoi Eau de Toilette

A traditional Tahitian Monoï, made with handpicked tiare flowers infused for weeks into pure coconut oil, is a precious substance with countless uses: skin oil, moisturizer, perfume, pain reliever. To Patricia de Nicolaï, it's the scent that perfectly represents the airy, playfully indulgent essence of summer, a fragrance profile forever linked in her memory to L'Oreal's iconic Ambre Solaire sunscreen. Musc Monoï is de Nicolaï's ode to Ambre Solaire, to traditional Monoï, and to every carefree summer memory and sun-kissed beach between the two.

Your very first sniff of Musc Monoï will whisk you to the tropics: rich, sweet ylang ylang and bright, tart citrus energizes and then immediately relaxes, like the first burst of direct sunlight over a lush beachside garden. Magnolia, neroli and jasmine take turns adding to the bouquet, while a tasteful hint of calone suggests a salty ocean breeze, carrying a fresh breath of nature with each shift in the wind. As the musky coconut base fades in, it's as welcome and soothing as a mid-day nap on pillowy-soft white sand. This isn't the smell of sunscreen; it's the smell of you, wearing sunscreen, on the most impossibly beautiful beach in the world.

Neroli, lemon, petitgrain, ylang-ylang, jasmine, coconut, calone, magnolia, sandalwood, and musk.
