I had a moment of regret after buying this bottle of Musc Ravageur – wasn’t spring on its way? How much would I be able to wear this vanilla perfume? But it looks like it came at the perfect time.Apparently, Musc Ravageur was in part inspired by Shalimar and the similarities are apparent. Tolu balsam, vanilla, a certain leather-note that seems to present itself at times. But Musc Ravageur also features a ton of musk and a cinnamon-spiciness that adds bite. There’s also a sweet citrus that almost reminds me of Christmas-time pomanders. The musks keep this from being heavy and actually, I’m going to test it out in warmer weather too. Right now, I have enough to last me many winters, no matter how long they are.
