Musc Encensé
Aedes de Venustas (2018)

Musk Encense presents itself as the essence of softness built around the heart note of tonka powder. Cashmeran, amber and incense yield a soft warmth with woods that retains a bit of animal musk growl that feels like the musk from an old leather cloak. There is not quite as much animal as in Parfum d'Empire Musc Tonkin, but Musk Encense is much smoother and more wearable than Ulrich Lang's Aperture - while calling to mind a similarity with these two warm musk scents. This fragrance wears best when lightly applied so it shimmers deep in the background as a hidden mystery, woven into the quantum subtlety of the softest perception.
