Musc Angélique
Paul Emilien (2016)

Artfully realized clean musk which opens buoyant and cloudy and slowly gains warmth and body. After the initial impression of a cool musk infused with violets – a floral note that complements the abstraction and formlessness of the musk – subtle definition appears in the guise of an alert but restrained pepper note and the gorgeous otherworldly milky-sweet greenness of angelica. The vanillic ambery backing is barely there, providing support but not weighing things down.
Provides the tenderness and comfort associated with such musks, but combines it with a sense of personality that is often lacking. Has an active life of a few hours after which, as is so often the case, it blurs into just a vague sweetish musk.
