Rook Perfumes Baklava Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Baklava Musk opens with Anise, Cardamom, and Coffee, settles into a heart of Sugar Cane, Hazelnut, Pistachio, and Cookie Dough, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Rook Perfumes's Baklava Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either love it or think it's an abomination. Don't even think about a blind buy, this challenges even the most seasoned sniffers. It's an experimental gourmand that often gets misunderstood, but patience can really pay off.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, often challenging opening and warm, heavy accords make it unsuitable for an office setting or sport. It works best for evening wear or casual outings where its unique character can be appreciated, though some find it too intense even for a date.

About

Baklava Musk opens with a bold, almost jarring hit of strong coffee and spicy anise, quickly giving way to a rich, nutty heart of hazelnut and pistachio. Beneath the sweetness of cookie dough and sugar cane, a smoky undertone often emerges, mingling with warm sandalwood and a comforting vanilla musk in the dry down. It's a complex, unconventional take on a sweet treat, definitely not for the faint-hearted.
