Rook Perfumes RSX: Misk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nadeem Crowe. RSX: Misk opens with Castoreum and Incense, settles into a heart of Salt and Beeswax, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Rook Perfumes's RSX: Misk carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Misk is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent - a unique, unapologetic blend of salty, waxy, and animalic notes. Some find it evocative and nostalgic, others a bit too strange, even 'burnt plastic'. It's niche, it’s bold, and it’s definitely not for everyone.

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.

Its unique and strong character, described as having 'you-can’t-sit-with-us vibes', makes it less suitable for office or sport. However, its bold projection makes it a distinctive choice for dates or casual, artistic events where it can truly shine.

About

Imagine emerging from ancient, salty waters, your skin warmed by the sun. RSX: Misk opens with a daring blast of animalic castoreum and smoky incense, immediately setting a darkly mysterious tone. The heart reveals an unusual blend of rich beeswax and bracing sea salt, drying down to an earthy foundation of creamy sandalwood, rugged patchouli, and sweet, resinous benzoin. It's a journey from raw nature to deep, contemplative warmth.
