I have a new bottle but I hasn't made the trip to Canada because every time I sprayed it on something felt off... It was never my favorite Malle but it was one of the first I bought and you're right, it feels more cloying than it used to.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-36864925102436854792023-03-08T20:11:46.771+01:002023-03-08T20:11:46.771+01:00Thank you Lauren for your kind words!

It's lovely to know it keeps on finding readers a decade after coming out!<br /> I said I wasn't sure anyone would answer because the blog has been dormant for so long its readers have long dispersed. And it seems the conversation has now shifted to other platforms. carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-56760139944475525732023-03-02T21:33:51.579+01:002023-03-02T21:33:51.579+01:00The ambery* muskThe ambery* muskAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-74764173429147159212023-03-02T21:33:18.191+01:002023-03-02T21:33:18.191+01:00Musc ravageur is a perfume I lost to reformulation...Musc ravageur is a perfume I lost to reformulation. despite the current version being quite lovely I just don’t get that jolt of recognition when I smell it. It was one of my early niche loves, a perfume I associate with a more adventurous period of my life. There’s something about the opening that just isn’t quite the same anymore, that association of cloves and lavender with the amber musk that made the sweetness in it always a suggestion rather than the center.

I am enjoying the book very much, and I hope that you continue to write on your blog! As someone who grew up in the late 90s and early aughts, your deep knowledge of perfume history and the various worlds cultural/historical worlds it encompasses has been very instructive to me. Many thanks! -LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
