Deep, profound, carnal animalic love! One of the most dirty erotic perfumes, intimate and raunchy as few can be! Waiting for a new edition in 2014!

2014 EDP release. Musc Tonkin extrait is one deep and dense animalic perfume. An instant love from first sniff, and one of the bottles I treasure the most in my collection. Mostly because of its exclusivity. The EDP takes the same formula and makes it airier, slightly less potent. It's still one of the most animalic perfumes currently available, so lovers of vintage feeling orientals don't fear. I don't feel it's a different perfume, just less dense. The top and middle notes are more easily discernible. The base notes take longer to arrive. Also the notes are more recognizable this time; the gardenia is more prominent with its mushroom facet, the oakmoss, the leathery castoreum, the urinous civet, the furry musk. Plus it hasn't lost the intense saltiness I love from the extrait. ('Turd on the water' like Gaia so accurately said) If you like one, you'll like the other. I can save the extrait for special occasions and use the EDP to indulge without fear of running out. Sillage and longevity are still remarkable. And people who smell it actually remark that it smells very sexy. So even though it's quite heavy it won't scare people. I also have a feeling that a light spritz in the summer will liven up any simpler perfume, particularly colognes, and glorify white florals. Let's hope it stays permanent in the collection this time! And MAC, if you're reading how about a second batch of the extrait? Please??!! :-))
