    What do reviewers say about Muscs Koublai Khan and Lapsang Su Chong?

    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
    Named for a smoked tea it doesn't actually smell like. That honesty, blackcurrant and moss doing the real work, is what makes Lapsang Su Chong worth knowing. Not a gimmick.Lapsang Su Chong
