Chic funk
Musc Tonkin doesn't flirt with category (ie. woody-floral aldehydic fruity musk.) It's an arrow to the bull's eye of musk and resembles the scent of strong human skin.
Contrary to the wisdom of soap commercials, you are clean beyond the first 5 minutes out of the shower. I think clean means more than soaped (antimicrobial), scrubbed, depilated and prepped for surgery. Clean to me implies the happy detente we usually have with our resident epidermal flora. Functional skin has scent--scalp, perineum, back of the knee, chest, under-arm. Clean, as pertains to a body, doesn't mean a faint or non-existent scent. It is identifiable. It's enticing.
Musc Tonkin is the amplified scent of 'behind the ear'. Waxy but not quite scalp. Strong, and identifiably corporeal, but not armpit. Very close to nape of the neck, but more potent. I'd like to say it's carnal, but that overemphasizes the sex. I can smell and enjoy a body without getting a hard-on. I'd say fleshy, but unfortunately that has more of a tactile implication. To claim a rather disassociated term, MT is somatic. But it gives a sense of cutting to the chase. No powder, no bouquet, no 'detergent musk'. Body.
If you have the confidence and the wherewithal to wear Muscs Koublai Khan, try Musc Tonkin. If I could afford to, I would.
