General Review & Dupe Comparison:

Scent profile:

It opens with a bright, clean, slightly soapy floral mix alongside a soft touch of caramel. The dry-down settles into a smooth, dominant musk backed by creamy vanilla and ambroxan. Some users note a slightly sharp or "salty soap" opening depending on skin chemistry.

Dupe comparison:

It is widely considered a 70% to close alternative to Kayali's Musk 12. Reviewers point out that Eshal Musk is heavier on the ambroxan and clean white florals, whereas Kayali Musk 12 tends to be a bit sweeter and creamier with sandalwood nuances.

Performance:

Eshal Musk generally offers solid longevity for a clean musk (around 5–6 hours on skin and longer on clothes), often outperforming the original Musk 12.
