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 warm spicy-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.

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.
