This is the rarest and most expensive of my musks and has a distinct sweetness that can be almost cloying when smelled alone. When combined with other perfume ingredients, on the other hand, there’s nothing cloying about it—it’s just sheer beauty. Very little of this is needed to create the effect of natural musk which is different than that created by artificial musks. It’s like comparing Nickelodeon with iMax, one being describable in a few words while the other seeming to require innumerable adjectives to describe its complexity.
