Hello everyone,
It’s been a year now and as I promised to share my experience with my Musk maceration :
From right to left, the first one is the (3 years old maceration that I mentioned above-transform the oil in new musk grain) and this one is truly strong,
I mean it’s very strong (exactly as fresh musk grains) but it’s very rounded ,the sharpness of ammonia like note is gone and sniffing from the cap is all what I need then the
Heavenly aroma sticks in my nose for a while, honestly this is the first time I am experienced the true musk (I don’t know if you guys know what I mean, after trying so many musks -fake and real from big houses -this is the only time I am fully satisfied) and that’s reminding me of Brother Ray Munir’s advice (make your own musk maceration and there’s nothing like it) that exactly what he always says and that’s exactly what I got , so thank you very much brother R.Munir.
I realize that this is too strong to use it as is (I love it just like that but it’s way strong to use it in public ,exactly like the very barny Indian Oud when we the Ouddict enjoying it and love it but really we can’t wear it in public ) so I decided to make my own blend out of it (wasn’t an easy decision at all , after about a month of yes and no ),
Finally 10 days ago I blend it (Note: I am not a Parfumer and I wish if I am therefore I tried to make something that I like and I am sure someone else will have better blend recipe) :
1. musk maceration is 6 ml.
2. 1 ml. Siharaja X (Sri Lankan Oud -Ensar Oud).
3. 0.5 ml. People Pursat (Cambodian Oud-Ensar Oud).
4. 1 ml. Kehebatan (Malaysian Oud -AgarAura).
5. 0.25ml. Assam Organic (Indian Oud-Ensar Oud).
6. 0.5 ml. Taifi Rose.
7. 0.5 ml.grey Ambergris maceration.
I started drop by drop for 4 days till I’ve got satisfied.
After 10 days it’s getting better and better and I am sure time will do the rest.
I really love the result big time it’s mind blowing,the musk is present all the way to the dry down then of course the Oud .
Back to the photo above, 2nd from the right is :the Mongolian Musk maceration and this one is totally deferent level .
A year ago it was close to the Siberian but ageing is doing its magic ! Now it’s deferent than Siberian,it’s Very flowery (I don’t know how to describe it)-Siberian musk plus loads of flowers,very lovely by its own-no need to blend !
Third one from right is :central Asian musk -a year ago it was very weak but it’s like sleeping monster by the time becomes stronger and potent ,a hidden touch of smokiness
(I don’t know if I can call it smokiness but it’s very attractive touch)-yah I am sniffing it now and the closest thing comes to my mind is smokiness, anyway definitely lovely musk.
Forth one from right is : the old Siberian musk grains (that I pulled the oil from it) then I added new Mysore sandalwood to it and the result is stunning musk oil.
Definitely I will wear it by it’s own and fully satisfying for musk hunger.
Fifth one from right is : the Tibetan musk and as you can see from the photo the colour is the lighter as well the smell , this is the weakest out of all my musk maceration
Maybe due to the (very dry-totally dry musk grains) ?! I don’t know but still nice deferent type and level of musk -I love too but to be honest I love the other ones more.
Thank you very much for reading my post and I will post an update if any changes happen.
