A Lab On Fire has launched Oxymusc, a new fragrance developed by perfumer Alberto Morillas.
Mysterious, discreet, the A Lab one Fire label unlike any other. It draws its wealth not from one "nose" but from several, the best talents imagine original, sophisticated and intense niche fragrances.
The notes include muguet, thyme, lavender, musk, birch and vanilla.
A Lab On Fire Oxymusc is available now at Colette in Paris, €24 for 15 ml Eau de Parfum.

Those notes seem a bit “screechy” to me.
Gosh, hard to tell from a list though. But could be!
They must have had some vanilla lying around. I don’t understand why that is in there.
Really? You guys read more from the list of notes than I do.
Ayala Moriel said on Twitter recently that vanilla was the salt of perfumery…
Wow. That is the perfect description of vanilla in perfumery, IMO. There are so many times when a perfume is missing the grounding influence of vanilla.
OTOH, the vanilla in this one does seem out of place to me. The muguet seems out of place, as well. The rest of the ingredients combine to sound like a linen spray or high-class air freshener, IMO.
If the birch is birch bark it will more than enough take the sweet edge off the vanilla. Birch leaves aren’t extracted to my knowledge. I think they headspaced it for a Calvin Klein masculine.
I don’t want my memory’s ankles to swell.
