Divine Musk

I love Tom Ford scents, but I don’t love the prices. I own several bottles of his, but I have started looking for good dupe alternatives. I’ve been impressed with most of the Dua fragrances that I have. They’re pretty spot on, with the exception of Portrait Of A Lady by Frederic Malle. Just don’t....trust me.... I didn’t know what to expect with this perfume. I’m just becoming interested in musk scents. Iris is one of my favorite notes and a lot of Iris fragrances have musk in the composition. When I researched musk scents. I saw that this one has immortelle in it, and Marc Antoine-Barrias has made me a sucker for that note. I made a good choice. This scene of this scent is driving down Highway 1 from northern to Southern California in late August...1966...around 7pm. There’s a convertible filled with beautiful young people. The top is down and the sun is warming the white leather seats. Someone is wearing patchouli oil....they’ve all got fading weed highs and contemplative smiles. The light is golden around them, and they feel autumn on the edge of the wind. Ventura Highway by America matches the vibe perfectly. I love it.
