Musk Ravageur (for women and men)

flannelman

Somehow over the years I got convinced that musky scents weren't for me but after reading so many positive comments over Musc Ravageur, I just had to try it. And I am glad I did. On my skin, the opening notes only last for a few seconds, literally. Fresh and vibrant lavender is the note I get the easiest. After this short burst, cinnamon rapidly and sharply comes into play, soon joined by cloves. Cinnamon, as lovely as it is, doesn't stay in the picture for very long (at least on my skin) but the cloves do. For about ten to fifteen minutes I sometimes sense what I can only describe as candied ginger and orange notes. Perhaps that's just my imagination -- I don't get it every time but when I do it's very noticeable and enjoyable. The vanilla and musky/ambery notes then start to mix with the cloves. Intense, but not in-your-face musk. Animalic but somehow soft and slightly powdery at the same time. Dark, spicy and provocative yet cosy and relaxing. Mesmerizing, addictive and very well balanced. Definitely an evening scent, and probably best for winter. A couple of sprays should amply suffice. The lasting power is very good, too. After spraying a tiny amount on my wrist in the evening, I can still smell the (now quite sweet) vanilla and tonka beans dry-down in the morning.

To summarize: wearing Musc ravageur is like being pleasantly surrounded by a warm and sensual bubble.

Balsamic-spicy, sensual, warm.
This is my favorite "for a special evening" perfume. And to wear this perfume is a really special feeling itself, I can't "take it for granted". I also like body cream, which is softer version of the EDP, and super-emollient.

I cant understand why I wrote that the stayingpower is good. I must have had some serious trouble with my nose that day! My husband put this on friday afternoon when we were going to visit my sister in Stockholm. This morning when I sniffed on him, I can still smell it!

Stayingpower is AMAZING!

I just ordered a sample of Musc Ravageur, and can't wait to try it. Along with it will come samples of L’Eau d’Hiver and Noir Epices. Reviews coming up, as soon as I get these in the mail... :-)

I find this one really twisted. In a positive way... but not really on me. I can smell that it is a delicate, very well put together fragrance. The top notes smells so uniqe and fresh.

After the fragrance warms up it become spicier, darker softer. On me it is a good but not terrific fragrance, but on my husband... oh my... so absolutly stunning! I´m not sure I can let him out among other women when he have this one on! It become magnetic, spicy almost animalic on him... a must try for everybody looking for an uniqe and sofisticated musk. If you are a man and think you can pull this one off, don´t miss it! You will regret. ;)

Stayingpower is good, better on my husband (about 6 hours)than on me (about 4-5 hours).

A truly sensual scent, at the very beginning the perfume is so sweet and fresh aromatic!

The fragrance is very complex, after the fresh opening, the scent becomes warmer and darker, with woody and balmy notes.
