Real talk
The animalic here isn't hiding, and that's the whole point. People who reach for Black Musk want the civet, want that patchouli edge, want something that makes a statement.Black Musk
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
