New York Musk
Grapefruit and black currant burn off early, nutmeg barely later. What is left is a skin musk, held dry by patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver instead of being softened by them.
Muscs Koublaï Khän
An unapologetically animalic musk, opened on cumin, with castoreum and civet giving a warmth nothing scrubs away. The first half hour makes no concessions; it draws in closer afterwards.
