Musk Makes Smart
"Melanes" by Naxos Apothecary is a brutally brown, spicy leather cream scent. An absolute reason to visit this apothecary more often and test the nose healthily!
Tar, leather, saffron, an island full of cedar trees. "Melanes" is a Central European daydream. Desaturated yet rich. I absolutely must test more from Naxos Apothecary. An incredibly interesting brand. Best to order something from them blind right away. "Melanes" is exuberantly bold. It is daring, it is heavy, like a decades-old leather jacket with character and tanning. Please dose very subtly. This thing has power! The mastery of musk.
Bottle: apothecary instead of Aztec
Sillage: a brown fist
Longevity: hardly wears off on me... but it doesn't have to. (12 hours up)
Conclusion: Contender for the finest musk scent on the market. Okay, there aren't huge quantities of it. Clearly niche. Very narrow pyramid and target audience. Still outstanding.
