Bottle 16/40
This eenie meenie flacon would look like a bottle of nail polish rather than a perfume if it weren't for this tiny patch of musk pod -or something reminiscent- attached to the side. The bottle may be tacky but the series is limited to 40 pieces of just 10ml each and that makes this an ultra-rarity. Even if, perhaps, we are dealing with leftover materials put to good use.
Straight from the top, I can tell you the contents are as unfinished as the packaging. The opening and mid are dominated by a screechy trio of citrus, rose and oud. Just when you start to think "is this it?" the fuzzy warmth of the deer musk kicks in. We're talking the soft, gentle type of musk here; Siberian musk. It turns out the mild oud is actually quite a nice companion once the citruses are gone. From this point on the scent remains in this mellow musky-woody state and keeps getting better and better - as you would expect from a quality musk tincture.
Composition-wise, Majestic Musk does not score too well. It is no Khaan or Musk Khabib Extrait de Parfum. This is raw and unfinished but that don't matter much when you are in it for the natural musk. If you have found your way to these dark corners of perfumery you should know already that the most precious jewels are not necessarily the smoothly polished ones.
