For the initiated with Shamsher, Musk Al Alam translates to the epitome of my signature blend and style. Opening boldly, potently animalic with a raw savory appeal, the perfume unfolds with layers in the first minute or two on the skin. A few minutes later, the musk rises to the fore: an incense musk in crystal beauty further touched by a delicate rose sillage in the tail of the incense. It is an appealing interplay, where musk does dominate but allows rose a subsidiary voice. Rose is quieter; musk is the main one, while rose does surface at times, crisp and fresh. Civet adds a soft, powdery muskiness to give depth to the tonkin fragrance. The balsamic vanilla character of castoreum hasn’t settled down completely yet; it rounds out the sweetness in this composition. Musk Al Alam is an addition to prestige that a new comer or connoisseur of musk deserves and will be treasured for years.
