Musc Tonkin

by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato

Parfum d'Empire Musc Tonkin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Musc Tonkin settles into a heart of Musk. Parfum d'Empire's Musc Tonkin carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint of heart. Some will find it an unwearable, dated scrubber, while others will be utterly captivated by its vintage-inspired, animalic allure. Approach with caution, for its charms are not universal.

About

Musc Tonkin plunges you into a world of complex, almost-vintage musk. It's a heady blend of musky sweetness, wrapped in a powdery embrace. There are hints of salty ambergris and subtle floral indoles, evoking images of old cosmetics and warmed skin. It’s a clean-dirty paradox, soft yet undeniably animalic, with an abstract silkiness that settles into a deeply sensual aura.
