Sumptuous spiced ylang
This is a ylang lovers dream. It’s a smooth creamy ylang with the rubbery, medicinal aspects of ylang edited out and replaced with spices (mostly nutmeg) and some lovely vanilla and resins. All draped over a soft bed of genuine musk. It lasts for days on skin and on clothes and bedding for weeks. I’ve never tried the extrait but I feel like it’s misnamed. It should be Ylang Khabib.
Anyhow, I love this stuff. On me, it’s a really feminine, va-va-voom kind of floral oriental. One drop and I’m enveloped in a cloud of sophisticated sexiness that leaves a beautiful trail.
I kind of wrote this as a response to Greenfairie’s review and I want to say something about attar perfumes in general, because if you’re used to alcohol based fragrances, attars can be hard to parse. Generally the notes are more compressed and streamlined. Without the alcohol to disperse the scent, it’s just going to wear differently and it’s unfair to expect otherwise. I have quite a number of attars and I do enjoy them, though I sometimes think of them as the “health food” of my perfume collection. Musk Khabib is no one’s idea of health food. It’s a rare attar that gives a full perfume experience.
