Filthy Musk in detail
Filthy Musk is signed by Margaux Le Paih-Guérin for Born To Stand Out. As its name announces, musk is its subject: it returns at every level of the pyramid, alongside animal and sweet materials. Volute files it among musky fragrances.
The official pyramid opens with pineapple, honey and an animal musk. The heart gathers patchouli, nutmeg, jasmine and musk once more. The base pairs vanilla, caramel, musk, Ambroxan, ambergris, tonka bean, a rum extract and civet.
Filthy Musk is an evening scent for autumn and winter; honey and caramel soften a deliberately carnal musk, which civet makes wilder. The pineapple at the top briefly brightens the composition before the musks take over.
Three musky fragrances in our catalogue come close: Machiavelli by Vilhelm Parfumerie shares pineapple, patchouli, tonka bean, musk and Ambroxan; Accento by Xerjoff finds pineapple, jasmine, musk and vanilla again; Musc Infini by Ex Nihilo pairs patchouli, musk, vanilla and tonka bean.
