One of the three MUSKetiere
This treasure has not been in my collection for too long.
For a long time it was important to me to have the three MUSKe animals (Mongolian Musk, Tibetan Musk & Tonkin Musk), as I humorously call them, together in my collection. And this is now the case, finally with the Mongolian Musk :)
Each of the three musk crackers has a completely unique character, paints a completely unique picture, and yet at their core they unite what we Fragheads love so much.
Perhaps the most unusual of the three for me is Mongolian Musk.
After philosophizing with a good friend and fragrance advisor of mine about my new acquisition, he said I should write a review as I was trying to put the complexity of this creation into words.
No sooner said than done... now I'm sharing it with you:
Mongolian Musk clearly has a strong animal side. You have to love the intensity and density of the animalic musk and, last but not least, the Indian oud also brings its animalic traits to the composition.
In view of this, the opening of the fragrance is all the more exciting. We start sweetly, caressed by honey, with sweet spicy cinnamon and black pepper, which only finds a place in this work to bring out the complexity of the spicy notes. It is not a main character.
From the very beginning, an incredible wealth of facets plays with my olfactory senses.
Floral and somewhat green notes of carob, ylang ylang and tea mix up the overall impression.
And right from the start, everything floats on a dense, creamy, highly intense and animalic musk cloud that creates a fog around all these complex notes.
The composition is built on a solid base of Indian oud, which brings with it animalic and dry woody oud notes. Added to this are creamy and soft woody notes of sandalwood and a wonderful oud twist, brought about by Thai oud, which creates the multi-faceted base of the most diverse fragrance characteristics and oud notes.
In addition to all of this, there is an ambery resinousness that resonates recognizably after the first few minutes.
The more the fragrance dries down, the more the base emerges with the main players consisting of Mongolian musk, oud and sandalwood, pushing the other notes more and more into the background.
A wonderful composition with a strong fragrance progression.
I also find it particularly exciting how the strong animalic notes have been masterfully played with to create a wearable, sweet/woody/resinous/spicy composition despite the strong intensity of the animalic notes.
For me, the most complex fragrance of the three, which has definitely earned its place in my collection.
I can only advise everyone to spray this masterpiece on their own skin.
