Kashmir Musk Tincture 10% | 1 ml

Kashmir Musk – 1990

Harvested in the highlands of Kashmir, this aged musk is part of a private collection from the Sultanate of Oman. Its aroma is a swing between devotion and daring: powdery notes of bitter cocoa, an almost carnal human undertone, a hint of sun-dried orris roots.

It's chocolatey, powdery, animal. It draws you in like an intimate whisper and simultaneously pushes you forward like an ancestral scream.

The Olfactory Profile of Deer Musk: A Profound Sensory Experience

When we talk about authentic musk, it's impossible to ignore its olfactory dimension: unique, striking, and deeply emotional. Deer musk, especially in its purest and most aged form, has an aroma as powerful as it is complex.

This Kashmiri musk has a very chocolatey profile. Like sweat. And like humanity. A description that may seem contradictory, but it perfectly reflects its ambiguous and provocative nature.

A powdery sensation is often perceived, reminiscent of the dry, velvety nuances of the rawest cacao. It's the same texture one might find in a musky rose or in certain amber tones of an aged oud.

“The sensation could be described as chocolatey. Powdery. Of sweat, of humanity. You want to eat it and at the same time you're repelled by it. A pure love-hate sensation.”

Its profile isn't static. It's very versatile. Depending on what you mix it with, it changes completely. Musk blends, adapts, and enhances other notes as if it had a mind of its own. In one composition, it can impart animal warmth, while in another, it can provide a clean, sensual effect, like the touch of skin on skin.

A Jewel for Haute Perfumery

This type of musk is extremely rare on the market today, making it a collector's item, an ingredient reserved only for the most devoted perfumers or for stores with true olfactory authority.

Therefore, having it in a store isn't just a sales advantage; it's a statement of principles. It means opting for the authentic, the unique.

In niche perfumery, musk acts as an olfactory "anchor." It gives a perfume its soul, anchoring it and giving it longevity without drowning out the other notes. As a raw material in perfumery, it is of utmost importance, lending strength and permanence to plant essences with its powerful and long-lasting scent, and is thus an ingredient in many compound perfumes.

An olfactory gem that isn't repeated, manufactured, or synthesized. It simply exists.
