Musk Al Sheikh

Which Should You Buy?
Sarrasins isn't just a jasmine; it's a divisive, dark floral masterpiece. You'll either swoon at its 'howling velvet' indoles and animalic depth or recoil from what some call 'stable boy' musk and 'poo smell'. This is art, and like all true art, it's not for everyone.
This isn't for the faint of heart. Musk Al Sheikh is an old-school, potent musk that's going to make a statement, whether you like it or not. Definitely not a blind buy.
