Over The Musk vs Coco Noir

Over the Musk is deeply beloved by the fragrance community as an exceptional, creamy musk fragrance that stands out from typical alternatives. However, its discontinuation has created significant frustration, with many unable to find satisfactory replacements despite trying numerous suggestions like Zoologist Musk Deer, Molton Brown Milk Musk, and Santa Maria Novella Muschio. A recent limited re-release offers hope, though availability remains restricted to select markets.

The r/fragrance community loves Coco Noir's beautiful, mysterious scent profile and versatility, but is significantly disappointed by its weak longevity that falls short of Chanel's reputation. Multiple users report the fragrance lasting only 2-3 hours despite being a prestige brand, with some noting even Chanel boutique SAs compensate by double-spraying samples, making it a poor value despite its elegant composition.
