What do reviewers say about Russian Musk II and Absolue Pour le Soir?
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
There's a specific honey note here, unfiltered, almost waxy, that you don't find in many fragrances. Add the cumin and this stops being polite. If you've been curious about resin-heavy night scents,.Absolue Pour le Soir
