Musk Al Ghazal

Which Should You Buy?
This amber-spicy number is a bit of a chameleon: some find it a sophisticated, long-lasting gem, while others are disappointed by its fleeting nature and synthetic edge. It definitely leans masculine for many, but women who like a bit of a gender-bend will love its dark, musky depth.
This is a bold, divisive, beast of a musk. Some find it a treasure; others, an overwhelming spice bomb. If you're after true animalic musk, this could be your holy grail - but sample first, because it's certainly not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent amber and musky scent, often described as strong and projecting, makes it less suited for an office environment where subtlety is key. However, its warmth and sensual quality lend itself well to dates and formal evening wear, and many enjoy it casually in cooler weather.

Occasions
Its immense sillage and longevity make it inappropriate for an office or sports setting, as it can overwhelm. The deep, sensual musky and spicy accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, especially in cooler weather.
