    Real talk

    The animalic base is the whole point. If that makes you nervous, this isn't your fragrance. If it makes you lean in, it probably is. This is a scent that asks you to commit or walk away.Belle Bete
    Despite the name, Musk Deer doesn't hit you with animalic aggression. The opening's spicy-bright, and the drydown stays close, warm, powdery, woodsy. It's a skin-scent, not a beast.Musk Deer
