CBMUSK

One of my top five favorites. All of my favorite scents smell drinkable to me, like I want to inhale them into my soul. This smells like what I think in my mind musk smells like, not like baby powder or other musks I've smelled. To me it is very light to medium and I will probably wear it heavier, I'd like more projection because I think it is inoffensive and very yummy, but very very sexual at the same time. Reminds me of all of the best aspects of male and female erogenous body parts.

(Absolute version) The 1st time I smelled this it was a serious scrubber. On a man's skin (and admittedly having applied too much) this was pungent, musty, honey-sweet musk, like a feral creature's sex hormone marking in the breeding season that strikes fear into the hearts of humans because the scent is too WILD, too dirty and interconnected with danger to our noses. This was accompanied by a huge dose of something that smelled of decay, though I couldn't place whether it was human, mushroom, or of other origin. A few days later I couldn't help it; it had intrigued me. What I sniffed out of the bottle wasn't quite what it had been on my guy's skin, so I decided to be brave and try it on myself. With 3 dabs just from the cap (vs the mouth of the bottle) it's still strong, but much more doable. Now the weird, not-quite-honey sweetness is played up rather than that unsettling decay note. It still has some old smell underneath that I can't place exactly... There's also a note closer up that resembles plastic when it's almost hot enough to melt but not quite. This note perplexes me, I have no idea what it is but it's there, being strange in the background. It weaves in and out subtly over the hours. As a side note, having smelled real hyrax and other animal musk tinctures now (Soivohle's in their first renditions), this is not one of those sourish, intensely forest-like musks though it does retain a certain civet-butt quality that they all share. Undeniably animalic, rich, and powerfully musky/musty with golden honey tones alongside some fungal decay. CHALLENGING. I can see this being my newest love/hate obsession. For now I'll click 'like' because it has my attention, that's for sure. DO NOT OVERAPPLY!! P.S. I have the old version of the absolute (15ml bottle). My juice is not dark like in the picture, more of a light golden color.

An intensely sexy fragrance. Smells like the male human body in heat, or the idea of it. Absolutely wearable for a night on the town, or at home with someone else. So many men's fragrances are intense, layered, or artificial. This one is what it is... far less risky than Axe (blech), 80s favorites like Kouros or Fahrenheit, or modern I-dare-yous like Fat Electrician. This one is hot, and direct. My all-time favorite animalic and definitely one of my all-time favorites. Similar to vintage Kourous, minus that "urinal cake" smell that makes Kouros so divisive. Also, it has the synthetic slipperiness of several other CB I Hate Perfume scents (dialed down), but that synthetic quality I think improves this one, and makes it more evocative.

Musk is a difficult note for me to quantify. So many perfumes list musk as a base note, but it's hard for me to figure out what it's doing "adding depth," "anchoring" other notes. It's hard for me to smell with other scents hanging around, being more prominent. CBMusk is a very clean, wearable fragrance. Musky, yes, I get it now, and also damp, vanillic, woody, and smoky, but not like something is burning, which I know makes no sense. If you could seize a box of smoke and take it away from the site of the fire and then smell it, it smells like that kind of smoke. A resinous smoke, but not really like incense. I think it smells quite a bit like styrax, too. Unusual and interesting. Worth sampling.

Holy smokes, when I put this on it was SUPER sexy! It almost reminded me of hanging out with that hot guy friend from school who was also kind of grungy and the smell of smoke lingers on his skin. A very effortlessly cool scent. On a weird side note, every time I caught a whiff of this on my wrist, I was instantly transported to Donkey Kong 3's Murky Mill level. Musty, dark, and exciting!

عندي العطر المركز عبوة رول صغيرة اللون ليس كما بالصورة غامج بل هو ذهبي و ناعم , العطر اصلي قريب جدا من رائحة مسك الغزال الخام العطر ناعم غير مؤذي جميل على الجلد انصح به لهواة العطور و المتخصصين و ليس للعامة و هناك ايضا عطر العنبر من نفس الدار جميل و غريب و اقوى من ناحية الفوحان و اعتقد هو الموجود بالصورة لان لونه قريب من الاسود و غامج

Best for layering. Cannot accurately assess what it smells like until it is put on your skin...it then takes on a smell of it's own. I like it~

This seems like more a proof of concept than a wearable fragrance. It really does smell like an animal, or something that came from an animal. Which is not to say that it smells bad, but it doesn't smell good either. I can see this being used for layering but I just can't imagine anyone wearing this on its own--if I encountered a person who smelled like this, I would assume they worked with animals in some capacity and just hadn't gone home to shower after work yet. I've never kissed a deer on the forehead before, but I imagine this is what a deer's forehead smells like. It makes me want to not kiss a deer on the forehead, if I'm being honest. No offense to any deer reading this. PS--I'm kind of on a kick right now with smelling fragrances that reviews describe as smelling like sex, of which this is one. My two cents: This does not smell like any human sex I am familiar with, although to be fair I've never had sex in a barn before so I may be missing something.

This is one raunchy, raunchy musk. Not some innocent, fresh, soapy white musk. CBMUSK hits very hard. It was like sticking my face into a box of damp crimini mushrooms, then a civet's hindquarters. Must, forest floor, sweet, oily female skin, damp fungus, and of course a robust central wave of civet junk. This went very sweet on my skin--cloyingly so. Quite honestly, I find it almost nauseating, though perhaps there are some with the skin chemistry for this. It might be appropriate for layering, as some have suggested. Even after letting it sit for a while, it really retains the just-stumbled-out-of-an-orgy vibe. To whomever can pull this one off, I salute you.

Reading other reviews this must be a quirk of my personal olfaction, but I get an *overwhelming* blast of burning electrical wiring when it goes on my skin. I did not notice this smelling from the bottle or on blotter at first but after putting it on I can find that, though less pronounced. I did manage to pickup a bit of muskiness under that but nothing like what other seem to be getting.

A warm civet-y musk that isolates the sweaty crotch facet of MKK and sweetens it a tad. Somewhat dank and gooey, it smells like skin, but also like a musty room or an old store. There’s a murmur of mushroom, hints of something rubbery, and a whisper of ambrette, but it’s predominantly a civet blend over a dry synth woody-amber. As far as musks go, it does the job really well, but it’s very specific, and carnality is clearly its main agenda. I could see this being worn by itself to good, pervy effect, but it could also function as a way to sex up something more chaste. Fun, surprisingly cozy stuff for those who aren’t offended by perfumes that are a bit raunchy.

I'm suspicious that my sample was lost in a time capsule for decades and lost all its animal magnetism. For the first 10 minutes I smelled literally nothing. Water. Air. Nothing. Then, the slightest, sweet, almost there whisper of... something. My sample was from a friend, so in fact, it might have been too old to judge fairly.

This review is based on a tiny decant. On my skin and to my nose, I get salty musty mushroom smell. Partly reminds me of L'Air de Rien by Miller Harris. Projection and longevity are good on my skin.

Far too pungent for my tatstes, you need to be a brave soul to wear this musk!

LOL MUSK! I want that, it must cost a fortune
