Muscs Koublaï Khan is so strange I know not what to make of it. Based on the notes (civet, castoreum, costus roots, cumin, labdanum, Moroccan rose, ambergris, ambrette seeds, beeswax, vanilla and patchouli), I was expecting expecting something quite strong and braced my nostrils accordingly. And? Is it my sample? My chemistry? I don't understand. The surrealism Dalí's Dream of a Virgin, a feasting on naked flesh:
It smells like skin, not like a skin scent, but real skin, a man's skin after sex, but it is not an animalic reek, no testes raunch, it smells like almost nothing at all, just pheromones. For some reason, it is stronger from a distance, when you get just an unexpected whiff, and for something that seems to have no smell, it lasts a really long time. But I am convinced there is something wrong with my sample. How can a perfume described in such strong terms have no scent on me?
