Musc Ravageur Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle 2000 Eau de Parfum

My first time going around in stores and smelling niche perfumery I discovered this scent. It was among very few standouts from that trip, but didn't think too much of it until the day after, the testing strip smelled divine. Got around to trying it on skin eventually, and the musk put me off, it was a bit animalic, almost kind of pissy. After going back and fourth, wearing it over 15 times, I finally decided to buy a full 100ml bottle. It really grew on me. It is a very balsamic, warm, fuzzy almost fur esque, slightly spicy and powdery vanillic. People usually either get a lot of cloves or cinnamon from this, I personally get a mix. This is not a super linear frag, it changes quite a lot and it does so slowly. After about 1.5 hours of wear the scent will become less powdery and more ambery, the animalics get dialed back and it becomes almost gourmand. Very balsamic smooth and warm.
