What do reviewers say about Galia and Russian Musk II?
Galia is dense the way a forest is dense, not overwhelming, but alive. The animalic musk doesn't shout; it breathes. If you've ever wanted oud that behaves like oud actually behaves instead of like a.Galia
This is the fragrance where musk stops being background noise and becomes the whole conversation. Heavy, coniferous, mossy. Not everyone will want to live here.Russian Musk II
