A work of art, the likes of Musc Ravageur and Uncut Gem. Its musky drydown is to die for.
A warm hug in a bottle. This is what I wanted Musc Ravageur to be. This is a love for me.
For me, this is Roucel's masterpiece. It is as being enveloped by your lover's warm embrace.
Very Unique.
It’s soothing and comforting. A warm hug in a bottle.

Very unique.
I absolutely love this perfume and see it as a true work of art.

This is horrible, with apologies to those who like it. Pine and aniseed is all I get and I don’t like either.
It smells to me and on me like old people powdering their private parts... and some violets. I do not like it.
Green violet with too much cashmeran. It leans very outdated on my skin. Not a safe blind purchase.
It has a harsh chemically opening (the cashmeran; think: hairspray) which I find very unpleasant.
This is horrible... Pine and aniseed is all I get and I don’t like either.
Possibly my least favourite perfume that I have ever tried to wear... smelled like diaper cream and baby products.
This is a very mid and meh sort of FM scent. Nothing fascinating here... largely sandalwoodsy, timid fragrance.
