doomsday_disco Report post Posted March 20 Wild Strawberries and Inky Musk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elissamay Report post Posted April 11 If you liked Wild Strawberries & Patchouli from last year, just THINK about how good these two would layer together! This is that same realistic strawberry with a lovely black musk, but a black musk that isn't completely intense and over-the-top potent BLACK MUSK like it can sometimes be (which I do actually love). Maybe imagine if it was 50% black musk and 50% BPAL's ink note plus that realistic tangy strawberry. This will be so fun in summer with the Wild Strawberries & Patchouli to layer or with a little spritz of the Feuilles de Patchouli hair gloss. Just call me a filthy, fruity hippy.

doomsday_disco Report post Posted April 23 The wild strawberries are the star of this duet. I think this features the same wild strawberry note as last year's Strawberry Moon: Wild Strawberries and Amber Hair Gloss (okay, it wasn't released last year, but two years ago -- what is time, wtf). The strawberry note is super ripe and sweet, but it's still a realistic strawberry that doesn't smell like strawberry candy. The inky musk plays a background role, and I was worried the fruit plus musk would be off-putting to me in the way that red musk is, but nope! I think it's just there to support the strawberry. I'm not sure exactly what type of musk this scent contains, but I usually don't do well with the darker musks, so if it is one of those, it is very well-behaved. I need to spend more time with this one and layer it with its moon to see if I need more of it, but I enjoy it enough to keep my decant to pair with the aforementioned hair gloss.

VioletChaos Report post Posted Thursday at 01:43 PM In the bottle, I get the fresh, tangy strawberry note of my very cherished Strawberry Moon 2009 and I couldn't be happier about it. Wet on skin, the scent begins to deepen and some of that Inky Musk introduces itself. The combo of the two is as compelling as I'd hoped for, neither stealing the spotlight from the other. Dry down: Calling this musk "inky" is incredibly accurate- this is NOT a black musk on me, this is literally a 'musk+ink' situation, which is what I was hoping for. It's not like the Lab's India Ink note, either, though- this really is its own special thing, so don't be worried about the metallic or chemical aspects of Ink in this mix, because that's not present here. In All- a low to medium throw and a very well-balanced fruit and musk scent for the warm months. I agree with the above review that this will layer well with the Wild Strawberries and Patchouli Duet and I feel certain I will *also* be layering this with its own 2026 Strawberry Moon counterpart to bring even more tart berry to the party. Total win. 🍓 ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
