Under My Skin is the extraction of musk from shadow; it’s an immersive and hypnotic portal where you feel yourself slipping slowly under the depths of a lightless pool scented with leather and sandalwood and iris and--this could just be my brain’s association with the name of the perfume and a similarly titled movie-- it’s an olfactory interpretation of the eerie minimalist strings track that lends fear and mystery to the alien temptress's methods for luring and capturing her quarry in Under the Skin.
