What do reviewers say about Moth and Musk Deer?
Moth is not a polite fragrance. It opens sharp and confrontational, all spice and smoke, before revealing a surprisingly tender floral heart. The drydown is where it earns its reputation, smoky,.Moth
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
