My father, who had acquired these musks, said that this one was the most expensive. I find this ironic since this is the sweetest and most like those vulgar attempts at creating something that smells like natural musk—cheap incense comes to mind. That being said, once over the initial reaction to what seems like cloying sweetness, there emerges an ineffable complexity that, frankly, stuns. The smallest amount enlivens a perfume and gives it finesse.
