Musc Shamal is an incredibly addicting and enjoyable take on clean, soapy musks which I really enjoy. It opens with a thick, soapy cloud of aldehydes with a touch of citrus to aid that fresh kick, before the musk presents itself. Most likely ambrette has been used here for that musky accord, it’s sweet and clean yet does have a subtle hint of bitterness to it which is lovely. Soft rose and Jasmine add to the cleanliness of the scent, while vanilla and cedar enhance the powdery, sweet facets. This is a strange one to me - my mind keeps switching between whether I love it or not, but I think I do. It’s a great addition to any aldehyde lover’s collection, and is a brilliant interpretation of ambrette. This is one of my go to’s when I want something clean, simple and sophisticated without getting bored.
