Decided to put this review here in the Musk forums.
I have recently begun a trail which has brought me down this maceration of musk business. I have purchased quite a few year old musk macerations and even recently began to gather in some ingredients for to make my own scent of Jannah....Musk in its rawest scent is completely new to me...as I would imagine it is to many out there...I have been very fortunate to strike up an excellent relationship with a wonderful brother over in London, from whom I have bought some wonderful year old macerations of all sorts....I was immediately drawn in and began acquiring the ingredients I needed to begin learning on my own.... Some of my early experiments I have already posted about....however I noticed that my dear brother @Al Shareef Oudh has a Musk on his site for sale. I decided a few weeks back to purchase a bottle from him, with the intention of expanding my own understanding..
@Al Shareef Oudh had introduced a 20% discount at the time, which meant I got a very good entry for my benchmark.....
The package arrived eight days after been shipped and I got it on the 23rd of December.....This is not my first time purchasing from @Al Shareef Oudh so it arrived very well packaged from Perth....I was intrigued by the description on the wed site containing the following..."At first scent of this olfactory beast you will be hit by the sheer projection ability of musk. many people will tell you that when smelling a musk pod you will experience a sensation similar to a nose bleed – and that is exactly the ommph that you will feel here. Then comes the animalic warmth, not like the animal hide or barn, but like hugging fur. Then lovely apple and pear peel, together with a zesty , not full citrus but peels, rose wood like scent (not rose). Followed by the beautiful buttery honey goodness that mysore is famous for, add a touch of spice in memory of her hay days. This isn’t any mysore oil this is the crème de crème from the Government Soap Factory."
I was quite astounded to find that the above description is actually extremely accurate...alhamdulellah. My nose was confused by this as most of my macerations are beautifully musk scented, to be expected....But this really is a different level. I am smelling this from the bottle for now as I am enamored by this little bottle and wish not to use it for now...I believe it is my new benchmark in my own experimentation on this journey... The description above, I can confirm as accurate and truthful and I as I am not poetic by nature I have to say, there is very little I can add to it, I really do get all those fruit scents....and for one who can not really pick notes out of Oudhs, that is saying something....I have @Al Shareef Oudh a musk of sublime beauty to the olfactory senses....
I know there are many out there on Ouddicts that enjoy musk and the maceration process, so I would certainly suggest you consider this creation.
Now that said...I want to also state that I endorse nobody nor indeed do I suggest actions that any person can not afford.....But purely from a benchmark point of view, this gem is worth considering..
