Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has created fragrant jazz with her work on The Mystery Of Musk project and it is beautiful music of the most fragrant kind.
If you would like to take the same journey I’ve described for yourself, all of these versions are available on Dawn Spencer Hurwitz’s website (https://www.dshperfumes.com/ ) in 30% perfume concentrations. I found all of them to have excellent longevity and modest sillage
The perfumer Adam Gottschalk has developed this fragrance very close to the true nature of ancient wines. it is smooth and sexy in its subtlety with a really nice staying power. Dionysius lingers on the skin like the afterglow of a night filled with passion.
In many ways Temple of Musk is the heads to Musc Botanique’s tails. Musc Botanique is the fragrance that captures the darkness of musk and the Hour Of The Wolf; Temple of Musk captures the brightness of musk and it is like standing in a Temple Of The Sun to greet the new day and all of the possibilities inherent in that.
Reminder: Temple of Musk is the bottle we are giving away at Cafleurebon
Dawn wanted a fully-fleshed, rounded, complete perfume, not merely an accord-And it wouldn’t be hyperbole to confirm that she most certainly achieved her aim. I intend to purchase as big a bottle as I can afford, and wear it ‘til I drop, in all seasons.[Try to stop me]
Tallulah B2 is a fragrance that one would not immediately associate with the musk category. Rather its an exploration of using vegetal musk, as an underpinning of a natural scent and is an inherent part of its structure. It may be hidden from view, but its essential to its compostion. Overall a pleasing bright floating floral with a perfumed petticoat of the most delicate of “musk”, peaking through.
One of the perfumers who I have been wanting to try for a while is JoAnne Bassett. In Sensual Embrace Ms. Bassett chose to have her musk accord behave more like a promise of delights to come, and after the musk has enticed you in, the remains of Sensual Embrace fulfill that promise.
