Mongolian Musk Ensar Oud 2023

Who will be the main character? Mongolian Deer Musk, of course.
Sitting under a tree on an early autumn day, a deer is quenching its thirst with a delicious drink.
A fermented black tea (puerh), sweetened slightly by honey and spiced with cinnamon.
Dense, rich, very full-bodied.
Some earthy, chocolaty undertones are perceptible during the lifetime of the perfume and the deer musk also provides a marked "sweaty" aurea.
The drydown is full of musk and woody oud.
It is very inviting, provocative and sensual.
It demands attention with its aroma that expands in the air but is not at all annoying.

Bottle number 14.

(Review for the new, slightly reformulated version with SQ attar)

The fragrance opens with a rich, chocolatey burst of cinnamon and carob.
(Carob is a sweet and earthy fruit resembling cocoa beans, which is sometimes used as a sweetener or cacao alternative in Mediterranean and Balkan cuisine. It was one of my grandmother's favorite baking spices.)
As the initial spicy and sweet blast softens, the scent starts transitioning back and forth between distinct yet overlapping phases: honey-sweetened earthy puerh tea, creamy ylang-ylang, and layers of various ouds. Alongside everything there is an ever present, ever growing amazing natural deer musk note.
Hours later, settling into a blend of oud, musk, and sandalwood, the fragrance becomes less sweet and more animalic, though never overwhelmingly so.
Overall, this is a wonderfully cozy and warm musky spicy earthy fragrance, perfect for colder days.

Clean musk, honeyd, laced with cinnamon stirred in tea. As musk focused scent its much more on the pleasent than harsh side. cinnamon and honey giving it nice spicy bit sweet touch and tea mixing greatly into the mix. honey dont last long for me whilst cinnamon does bit longer and tea is there all the time in harmony with the musk. The base has bit creamy sandalwood smoothening the musk even more oud is also very noticable whilst still not over powering the musk rather adding depth to the scent. The musk is smooth yet still animalic but its been tamed into the harmony with the other aspects of the scent.

Very very solid musk scent and for anyone claiming to love musk must try. you get to experience the wonderful natural mongolian musk.

It's best not to smell this fragrance for the first 30 seconds, as it gives off a medicinal scent and the worst aspect of sandalwood - its saltiness.
Later, a beautiful, clean animal appears, its fur freshly washed and dried, and you lean in close to its forehead to smell this cute creature.
This is the first animalistic fragrance for me that so well conveys the smell of animal fur, most likely a deer or some other zoo animal. Then, perhaps it was just my imagination, but it seemed as if the fur of another animal appeared, maybe a dog, or maybe I just smelled Ensar too much.
And here begins the real seduction of the fragrance. Cinnamon plus a subtle, airy, non-urinal honey in tandem adorn this smooth wool, and even an inexperienced nose will want to smell this fragrance again and again, as the combination is very unusual.
Perhaps we are now in the yurt of a Mongolian hunter, furnished with animal skins, where the owner extracts fresh honey from the combs with a special device, while his hospitable wife makes you green tea with herbs and this fresh honey. There is also a certain vibe in the scent, as if you were at a fishing spot. It is not strong, but for me it is definitely there. If there is a documentary about Mongolia, you should only watch it while wearing this scent.
