    Real talk

    This is musk with a backbone. Not the skin-tight intimate kind, the kind that announces itself without raising its voice. Vanilla and patchouli do the talking, but broom keeps them honest.WitchMusk
    The animalic is the point. Civet, costus, castoreum layered into warmth so natural it stops feeling like perfume and starts feeling like skin that happens to smell incredible.Muscs Koublai Khan
