That’s alotta musk! I’m exceptionally hopeful that I’ll be able to smell some percentage of this. Plus, add the word “milk” to any food or scent, and I’m sold. Doesn’t sound particularly related to Musc Maori, though.
I have no idea how much musk in Musc Maori, could be just as much for all I know — but this made me realize I’d really rather not know. Just the word “musk” is enough information for me.
I too am very curious because the word MILK! I did not care for Musc Maori (because chocolate notes make me nauseous), but this sounds rather lovely…
I find that Guillaume’s idea of chocolate is quite special and -yes, nauseating for me. I’m curious, what else have you tried in terms of chocolate?
I’ve tried a couple but the only one I can remember off the top of my head is Violet Chokalatier
I really like Guerlain’s Gourmand Coquin. It’s quite sweet, but I find it thoroughly delicious.
I ve gone on record more than once with my adoration for Anima Dulcis (Arquiste). I wanted forever to try Guerlain’s Iris Ganache, which I just imagined must smell like chocolate, but did not realize they had Gourmand Coquin for chocolate!
I love Musc Maori so am keen to try this one. It sounds less sweet and very aromatic. Musc Maori too is very milky, but it doesn’t get cloying for me because of the bergamot. This too has the bergamot – I wonder how dry and savoury it is, with the sweetness gone. It sounds like it might wear like a milky gauze on the skin.
