"When the snow melts, where is the white going?"

To answer this Shakespearean enigma, one must first ask how the long-awaited snowflakes are formed. These star-shaped ice crystals all have different shapes, and no one is similar to another.

The shape of the flake depends on the temperature and humidity of the snow; if the star shape is probably the best known, it is not the most common. There are simpler forms, such as columns or platelets, although the vast majority of flakes have an irregular shape. On the other hand, the molecular structure of the ice being hexagonal, the flakes have all six sides.

As early as the 14th century, we find the first use of the expression "to be white as snow". It highlights the whiteness of the snow as a symbol of silence, innocence and purity. Physics, on the other hand, explains that this attribute comes from the fact that snow reflects 95% of solar radiations. The color of the snow thus represents the synthesis of all the nuances that may be found in nature, on the Earth and well beyond…

Just as the white of the snow is the result of a fusion between different colors, the notes of white musk have an extraordinary spectrum of olfactory facets. You may spray it on different skins to discover the variety of its nuances. White musk differentiates itself from its ancestor, the the animal musk derived from the buckshot. Nowadays, musk only has a synthetic origin: the powdery, clean, fleshy facets sizing size the most beautiful perfumes.
