Red Musc
Mad et Len

Red Musc is an instant love for me. Amazingly fresh, but with just a hint of earthyness that while not actually smelling like, still brings to my mind the thought of the red dirt prevalent in desert locations near hoodoos and naturally formed arches. There is a slight spice smell that could almost be attributed to cinnamon...but not quite. This fragrance brings to me a sense of well being as I feel like I smell fresh and very nice. It is a skin scent a little more quickly than I'd like, but I almost feel that it still projects for other people sort of like Molecule 01 projects more for those around you than it does for you personally...which is okay too because I've had several complements from Red Musc today. I don't wear fragrances to receive compliments. I wear them for myself. But, it's nice to know that something you're wearing smells good to those around you as well. Two thumbs up for Red Musc!

Got this one as a sample. It's incredibly linear - what you read in the notes is exactly what you get - but it's not that awful, overpowering musk that not only precedes but lingers in a room. It smells as wonderful the very moment I put it on at 8 AM as it does when I go to bed at 10. This is definitely a "get what you pay for" basic scent. Nothing wrong with basics, but it's pricey. I don't know that I'd buy it (I'm more a fan of the odd, niche fragrances) but if given a bottle I'd wear it at least once a week. It's really lovely.
