Tibetan Musk

Tibetan Musk is “a sexy, musky, mind blowing masterpiece” so wearable, so zesty it’s an irresistible must-have for so many who have smelled it.

I vividly remember when I received the musk pods that define the perfume. The hair looked disintegrated. You could breathe on the pod and they’d fall out. I had never seen musk so old. When removing the skin, I uncovered spores of fungus that itself looked fossilized.

I’ve only been able to make limited batches of the perfume, which allowed me to tweak the composition ever so slightly each time. But with this edition, I’m not pulling any stops to let the brew OD on oud – and more.

To our best estimation, the musk in here was acquired in the 70s, some during the 80s, so they’d already been half a century old. But they are likely much, much older than that. Since musk pods were traditionally stored instead of used, some of this stuff could realistically date back dynasties and possess genuine historicity.

Until now, Tibetan Musk was composed for the musk—built around its potent, chocolatey core. This time, the compound is the fixative enhancing the musk—not vice versa.

The composition that accompanies the musk is… sweet. Not candy-sweet or fruity. Fossilized amber sweet. Blackcurrant laced with medicinal Hojari frankincense and lavender sweet. A composition to complement the musk, not the other way around.

But it wasn’t oud-forward, or at least nobody would call it an oud-heavy frag. Yet, if there’s one thing I’ve learned since Tibetan Musk was first released, it’s that the musk in union with this composition – LOVES OUD.
