Musk, Sandalwood, Cloves, Violet, Rose, Vanilla, Amber
I have always been a fan of musky perfumes. I have several in my collection, from cheapies like Body Shop White Musk and GAP Heaven to Glossier You, Essential Parfums The Musc, L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc Extreme, SJP Lovely, Obvious Un Musc, Mugler Over the Musk, Narciso Rodriguez Musc for Her, and Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur. My favorite of the bunch though is Bruno Acampora Musc. My friend Daisy Bow gave me a sample a few years ago, and it was love at first sniff. I paid $135 for 50ml back in 2019; 100ml is about $100 more today. I see complaints about the price, but more and more frags are going for that kind of money these days. To me, this one is totally worth it.
I think calling this scent simply "Musc," is misleading. The opening is like walking through a dense forest of old trees, where the ground is covered in an inches-thick mulch of damp decaying leaves. Mushrooms are everywhere, some of which are glinting with a metallic sheen. This is the scent that hovers around me when I wear this fragrance. When I sniff my clothes, however, I smell more of the forest wood, softened by vanilla and amber and a soupcon of powdery florals. It is utterly strange and utterly delicious.
