Still a high-scoring black tea, rose, and musk fragrance
I just got the v3 Musk Rose today, and I'm not familiar with it yet, so I'll just give a brief review. It blooms with a slightly sweet medicinal rose, a bit of rose black tea, and is still based on the framework of Fursato, but this one has more musk. V3 uses Nangarhar rose from Afghanistan, with a fresh citrus note, very similar to the flavor of Taif rose. Hassayan rose is a type of Indian rose, with a richer and sweeter fragrance. The rose wax is locally sourced, rich in wax and rosy in color. The tincture is made with aged musk, ambergris, and sandalwood. This one is obviously richer than Fursato, but its sweetness and musk are also much enhanced, and the outlines of agarwood and sandalwood are more obvious, the metallic feel is much weaker, and the mellow wood is added. Its fragrance spread is also much stronger, but to be honest, I prefer Fussato, and I prefer the balance and transparency (relatively) from v2. But this one is still a high-scoring work, undeniable.
