The last glimmer of light against a deepening darkness: peach-tinted amber, bitter lemon, and King mandarin dipping behind tall, dry grasses shadowed with myrrh, black frankincense, labdanum, lavender mist, grey lilac, and a blackish-red musk.

First notes are ripe stone fruit and sweet then the powdery amber comes out and I guess the myrrh, there's a back drop of a really light floral and sweetness  and that all dries down to this gorgeous musk that almost has a brittle white /light vanilla aspect  I can't stop huffing my wrists. There is so much complexity here.  I do love red musk but this isn't a classic red musk and has none of the bitterness that I was expecting. Seriously gorgeous and I think very elegant.

Everything and the kitchen sink is going on here, but let's see.

 

Fresh on, there was an odd, light whiff of washed-out lilac against a complex background... and the whole is overtaken by a dark wave of spicy, blackened red musk. Sticky rocks of myrrh float in it, apparent and gone again with each wave.

 

Fruits slowly find a footing in this new, musky landscape: peach and mandarin. Mostly peach. 

 

Honestly, though, it's mostly fruity and blackened red musk on me. This might work for red musk lovers. For me, it's kinda sloshy and messy.

Sweet amber, peach, lilac and a bunch of spiced musk. Medium throw and wear length.
