Best niche woody oriental in its price bracket

Molinard Musc is a perfume I gifted to myself for my birthday in 2019. It was also my first touch with the great and old house of Molinard from Grasse, France.

What attracted me the most about Musc was the affordability of the brand and interesting notes that seemed like they would be right in my alley.

Here are my 5 quick takes:

- The best affordable woody oriental niche perfume on the market
- A complex and rich composition with a sublime performance
- Created in 2015 as a part of Matieres Les Elements collection
- Recommended for leisure use during the colder months
- Fragrance enthusiasts will love it but could be challenging for casual wearers. Harsh top and middle notes

I liked and enjoyed Molinard Musc. It offers something else for perfume connoisseurs, and you owe yourself to at least sample it out.

The real journey to India

Attracted by the promising name and the high rating at Parfumo, I had bought Voyage en Inde by Rituals some time ago and was bitterly disappointed, because the fragrance didn't offer me anything Indian, Oriental, exotic or spicy that I had expected and expected from it.
(Self-inflicted, blind purchase risk; quickly found a new owner again.)

When I then read in the comments on Musc of incense sticks, hippies and India shops, all experiences were forgotten and he was ordered, although the name suggested a completely different scent.
And this time the blind buy hit the mark
I am greeted by a dense, complex note that actually smells of the occasional Third World shop I visit, and includes a dash of sticky cough syrup that I was administered several times in childhood and has been stored forever in my olfactory memory.
The cough syrup association disappears with time, but the incense aroma gains weight.
Musc is spicy, balsamic, only slightly sweet, discreetly smoky and if the quite violent top note has warped a little, quite socially acceptable.

Bollywood and hippie commune balance each other here and in my mind I put on the silk crinkler skirt I haven't worn for ages, slip into my beloved toe slippers and stroll through the palm-lined streets of Arambol.
This is it, the olfactory journey to India!
By the way, I don't find musk here at all, not even in the base, which is interspersed with a fine spice until the end.

At this point, once again many thanks to you perfumers, who described this fragrance in your statements so aptly and thereby drew my attention to it.
