Musc de Sables

OUR VERDICT

Enrapturing | Soft | Sensual

A miracle of sensual, soft skin. Between powder and cream: off-white, tinted and toned slightly. The composition privileges base notes, lifted with a faint touch of freshness via green mandarin.

In this regard, Musc de Sables has a distinctly vintage character at its core, with its privileging of ‘fatty’ and unctuous musk notes. Not quite animal, but like a tincture of something rare and precious. A lick of saltiness from ambergris and deep patchouli must be noted here. This is overlaid with hints of sturdy white floral musk, to add a contrasting touch of modernism, and delicacy with the surprising fresh earthiness of high-quality iris. This is musk served straight up.
