While I get where you are coming from Dorjee (comment/review below) the general critique of musk perfumes (which really could be extended to other forms of non creative perfume) another part of me thinks....you don't know what the hell you're talking about LOL. Minimal and musky perfumes like this are actually really hard to get right, because there's nowhere to hide, it's hard to stamp your mark on a 'musk blend' this is why the good ones are sublime and the okay ones are just okay and the bad ones don't really exist as such because you'd have to really fuck it up to make a 'bad' one. This falls into the okay set so I guess ya man Dorjee has a point here? (from 6 years ago, jesus maybe I should've just let Boss musk lie without review?) Anywho, this is not your warm ambrette, angelica musk, at least not at first. It's quite a clean, laundered smell which I don't find very interesting, it doesn't really have the twinkling facets that should appear out of the musk to dazzle and make you go....ahhh this is a bit of a composition. If I had to compare to another musk I do like I'd say Essential parfums The Musc, but that is many orders of magnitude better and more interesting. This is not a bad perfume, in fact it's very nice and gets better as it dries down (as expected) because the musks warm up and it's cozy with your skin, and stylistically it's right in the midst of my taste, but it's a BOSS. It's from a line that just doesn't need to exist, I don't mean that in a harsh way and these actually came out around the time many other well known designers thought, I know we'll have an 'EXCLUSIVE/PRIVATE' line too! No they didn't.
