The Musc - Extrait de Parfum

Extrait de Parfum

« In the extrait, I wanted a direct, carnal embrace. Burning spices bring the musk to the raw edge; Ambrofix, in overdose, gives it that animalic side; sandalwood and patchouli trace its contours. A musk drawn taut toward desire alone. »

The Musc - by Essential Parfums, extrait de parfum

The story of The Musc - Extrait de Parfum

The Musc Extrait, an amber, musky extrait de parfum by Essential Parfums, replays The Musc in a nocturnal, carnal register, composed at a 34% concentration by Calice Becker.

The Musc Extrait replays the bewitching signature of the eau de parfum in a nocturnal, carnal register: spicier, more ambery, more daring, with twice the concentration of the eau de parfum. From the very first moments, the composition by Calice Becker flares up with red ginger and the spicy warmth of cinnamon, which electrify the rosy notes of rosyfolia and the velvety touch of beeswax, to which Georgywood lends an unprecedented vibration. As the hours pass, the trail unfurls its voluptuousness: darkened by patchouli and textured by the creamy swirls of sandalwood, the trio of white musks asserts itself, while ambery accords lend it a bewitching, honeyed depth. Languidly sensual, almost animalic, The Musc Extrait invites a passionate embrace — the quintessence of desire.

Signed by Calice Becker, the extrait is conceived as an unreserved embrace: blazing spices lay the musk bare, an overdose of Ambrofix gives it its animalic side, while sandalwood and patchouli trace its contours — a musk straining towards desire alone.
