powdery orris patchouli

i swear the orris used here reminds me of what's used in iris des champs by houbigant - it's not really the kind i'm looking for as it reminds me more of scented tissues than the facets i usually look for in the note. the mid stages are probably my favourite, where the patchouli comes forth and brings a feeling of earthy chocolatey-ness, surrounded by a halo of the aforementioned orris and supported by a deeper, salty ambergris and a hint of spice. unfortunately for me the benzoin / cinnamon in the base, combined with the ambergris, kind of overwhelms everything else with a powdery note that, after a while, triggers an unpleasant scratchy sensation in my nose. unfortunate.

Benzoin powder

The other day, I barely recovered from the anxiety attack induced by Musc Ravageur . What an unsettling experience. And now, with Musc des Sables, I get immediate flashbacks. While they are far from identical, they do seem to come from the same vanilla-musk planet.

Musc des Sables is a lot less of a wild ride, though. With a high-quality orris and benzoin instead of vanilla, the experience stays gentle. The whole has a balsamic-powdery texture. Bits of patchouli add a green-brown shade, but the overall color palette stays rather pale.

Before we get into the drydown, I have totally lost interest. In this benzoin-powder state with vague hints of ambergris and patchouli, the similarities with Malle's Musc have pretty much gone. And it is not a bad scent, it is just umm.. Yawn.. Anyway, I hope this vanilla-musk thing is not going to be a trend.
