Collectie: Musk Perfumes

Musk is the most used base note in all of perfumery. Moreover, it appears in nearly every fragrance ever made. It is what makes a composition smell like skin rather than chemicals. However, natural musk came from the musk deer. That animal is now protected. Consequently, all musk in modern perfumery is synthetic. This is true at every price point, including ours. Furthermore, synthetic musk comes in several types. White musk smells clean and soft, like fresh laundry. Animalic musk smells warmer and more primal, closer to the original. Arabic perfumery has a deep cultural connection to musk. Moreover, in Gulf tradition, musk carries spiritual meaning alongside its role as a scent. As a result, our musk collection features compositions where musk plays a leading role rather than hiding in the background. These are not subtle. They are musk-forward.
