Musc Ravageur Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle 2000 Eau de Parfum

When first spraying this on skin I'm hit with a wall of powder, and something balsamic (maybe a fougere feel with the lavender.) It's off-puttingly almost maternal to me, but it's essential to let the scent settle into skin. It dries into this divine, much subtler amber musk with a touch of this exotic spice/patchouli mix that reminds me of a waft of incense still in the air. Sensual and alluring, and I'm sure it will layer amazingly with many other things. However, it's also surprisingly tame considering the name (and other reviews I've read). After an hour this is a mellow, warm and easy to wear scent.
