Musk
Musk notes in perfume used to be processed from the actual musk glands of animals to impart a gamey, warm, and sensual texture. But this practice is illegal in modern times, and nowadays musk notes in fragrance are entirely synthetic. Musk’s tangy aroma can range from sheer, metallic and bright to very animalic and even as intimate as the scent of warm, damp, human skin. Musk adds a sultry, sensual feel to demure feminine scents, as well as making masculine notes like tobacco and leather vividly expressive in cologne. For perfume fans who enjoy the alluring scent of warm, clean, skin - musk is a must-have note in fragrance.

JUSBOX
Sirens & Sailors
Osmanthus
Vanilla
Musk
Whiskey Accord
Siren & Sailors’ warm and sensual notes go straight to the heart, like the melody of a mermaid. Powerful and contrasting nuances resound like Amy Winehouse’s husky voice among Camden Town canals. Rose Essential LMR and Osmanthus notes convey her most innocent and frivolous side, while the intense heart of Rum Absolute and Whiskey Accord evoke her strong vocality and tendency toward unruliness. The sensual Vanilla and Musk dry-down lingers in our memory, like the greatness of a woman who, showing herself as audacious - and fragile at the same time- left a permanent mark on music history. An enchanting composition from master perfumer Julien Rasquinet that pays homage to a sublime voice, to a rebellious soul and to the eccentric and contradictory spirit of the Camden Town neighborhood in London.
