Description
There are some aromas that just feel … ancient. Like they have been around since the beginning of time. (Some have).
Musk is one of those deeply historic and essential perfumery materials; it’s been prized by kings and common folk alike. There are temples that have musc grains worked into the mortar to release it’s fragrance as the building heats. The perfume wafts in all directions giving pleasure to all who encounter it.
Musc al Madina is based on an olde worlde vision of the classic dark, animalic musk fragrance. It’s earthy and sultry, slightly smoky, and with a rich black coffee nuance in the background. In other words, it’s luscious.

This is extremely potent and earthy, with an animalic aspect that feels more virile than furry; which is to say, this feels more like Kouros than Musc Ravageur, albeit much more modern than Kouros. I bought this initially for myself, but ended up appreciating it on my husband a lot more 🙂

I love this perfume. It’s a fully-realized fragrance, brimming with sensuality. My skin absorbs most perfumes like a sponge, but this one lasts on my skin in the sexiest way. This is animalic, but it’s animalic in an elegant way. The description says rich and earthy, and that it is. I bought the body lotion for extra power. I also started to layer this fragrance with Dawn’s Halfeti Rose (another masterpiece from Dawn–the rose fragrance I have always longed for). The combination creates the most sensual scent trail you can imagine.
