Describe Musc Ravageur? - Page 3
Question:
Sorry to a nay-sayer but I guess it is useful to hear all shades of opinion. Personally, I didn't really like it. First, I am pretty sure this has no musc (real or synthetic) but ends in a "musc-like" accord which has been put together from other notes. If I recall, my main perception from this "musc" base was a kind of nutty, vanilic construction with some other textured notes (santal?) which behaves like a musc impression. Above this sits a spicy accord with a little lavender. The spice dominates this (wrong way around to my mind, I prefer the lavender to dominate and the spice to accompany, but maybe that would drive it into the masculine direction?). The tenacity is frightening, which is good if you like it................ Answer: The nutty vanilic construction you describe come through strongly for me, too, and make this a gourmand fragrance to my nose. Its great warmth, the characteristic which creates the comforting aura, really distinguishes this from most other fragrances. It softens beatifully almost from the start. My nose is not sophisticated enough to pick out the santal, and I barely detect the lavendar, but the spices used certainly accord brilliantly for me. I detect the cinnamon and bergamot, even detect chocolate in there somewhere, and the topnotes are amongst the best I know in any perfume. I wish they'd linger a little longer before the softening begins (my skin softens most perfumes rapidly). The overall effect of MR, as with Feminite du Bois, produces an almost spiritual wellbeing in me that is extraordinary. Twelve months ago I never thought I'd be speaking of a perfume in these terms.
