An Intriguing Observation

[Jenjin]

Pomegranate milk, scarlet musk, red sandalwood, frankincense, and white almond.

I love Pomegranate Milk from the latest Yules, and that made me want to try An Intriguing Observation, but I'm not getting the pomegranate or milk at all.  This scent is very musky, but not the usual red musk that the Lab uses and that I adore.  It feels like a powdery, warm, golden musk with some dry wood.  A little resinous, but not strongly so.  It's quiet and sits close on my skin, and it mostly makes me think of old wood warming in the sun while dust motes float about in the golden beams.

I cant' believe this isn't getting more attention. I think this is quite lovely - nothing spectacular or mind blowing, but just a damn good perfume for everyday use. 

 

On my skin pomegranate milk is the most prominent from wet phase to completely dry. I've been noticing that on my skin scarlet musk usually is somehow... fizzy (I'm not finding the right word but that's the closest I can get), it's not at all as heavy as red musk usually is (on me). Golden musk is accurate description. After drying I can get the sandalwood,almond and maybe frankincense too, but they are all subtle and grounding. 

 

This smells something I'd like to drink, like a milky pomegranate milkshake with a twist.
