Black Musk is the most untamed oil in the collection. Its opening is animalic and faintly sour, with a raw, skin-like intensity that makes itself known straight away.

Give it a few minutes. Amber warms the edges and incense threads a dry smoke through the centre, so the sharpness relaxes into something resinous and deep. That change is the best part: what starts out feral ends up almost tender.

Once the opening has settled, the dark musk base is dense and warm.

Bold and unapologetic, this perfume oil is best for evenings and for those who already know they love musk in its darker forms.
