This was a love at first sniff in my testing. To my own surprise I might add, as I’d heard about how harsh and animalic the opening for Musc Tonkin was.

And it is… to be sure, you get a urine-tinged, acidic, floral opening, like a civet and proper musk combination. It’s very soapy on the other hand, so it creates this slightly animalic luxurious soap like Nicolai New York Intense does. Aside from that, I get a scent reminding me of tuberose from Musc Tonkin mostly.
