I have narrowed down my next purchase to these three:
-LV Uomo
-LV Musk
-Guerlain L'Instant
I have never smelled the LV Musk but I have the other two. What are some of your thoughts? I have noticed and love the Uomo for being natural, high quality ingretients. The lavender, sage, clove, rosemary, cedar, and musk are magic! The L'Instant seems a tad more synthetic but sexy. Any recommendations?

Not much help from me, I do like the LV musk (haven`t tried the other two) Its light and slightly powdery (not baby powder, maybe a tiny bit of rose), just a nice comfort scent, I`d wear it on a winter day (in California) or wear it to bed,,,anytime. Hope this helps.

I like the LV Musk, too. Rosie described it nicely. I don't know Uomo, Ikkito. I love Guerlain L'Instant Homme.

I LOVE Lorenzo Villoresi Musk! It is SO SO SO powdery? Sexy!
L'Instant...love the femme and almost bought it a couple of years ago but didn't.
I haven't smelled the homme version.

Thank you for all of your comments! I was leaning towards Uomo but it sounds like I might have to order Musk blind?
BTW Cally79, is there vanilla in Musk and is it masculine enough for a man to wear? I have no idea if it is meant for a man or woman.
Is there alot of powder in Musk?

I find LV musk to be very powdery and personally, I do think it smells very feminine. I'd go with Uomo.

I like L'Instant pour Homme the most of the three, although the Uomo is a wonderfully rich cologne as well. The Musk did nothing for me, although I am admitted not a big fan of musks in the first place. I wouldn't buy it unsniffed.

The Musk is feminine powder central I think. Nice but you have to like musk and powder muchisimo. Uomo - dunno. Quite likeable. l'Instant is delightful but I find it a little tedious (heresy I know) as it easily becomes invisible to me and I wonder if it's even there anymore.

I would also agree that Musk is very feminine. Powdery yes. Some men like that so I never want to assume anything. I don't know if there is vanilla in LV Musk. I've heard is described as rosey and powdery.
I would suppose that if you were really wanting a musk that maybe Keihl's could work but choosing from the list you had I'd go with the other posters' suggestions! They are a smart bunch!

I am noticing on my wrist from a sample that L'Instant is probably the best patchouly I have ever smelled!

L'Instant Pour Homme is probably one of the best men's scents...I've ever smelled.
And it smells great on everyone! LOL
I've bought it for everyone around me, and while it subtly changes with their chemistries...it never disappoints!
