When I got my first FM test kit, I did not even reach for it, until I tried everything else.
J, that is very true, it is a sensual fragrance that takes some time to understand. It is not the case with any other Guerlain fragrances.
I love it on others, but whenever I wear it, I feel very strange, something between your dislike of MR and an allergic reaction. N, I have to admit that I cannot wear Shalimar, and your reaction to MR reminded me of how I felt wearing Shalimar. Victoria: Dear All, always interesting to read responses that diverge in their perceptions, which often makes me see other sides to the fragrance I did not notice at first. Hillman Family Foundation, New York, NY, USA. Pablo Picasso, Mother and Child, 1921-22. Ikeda Museum of Twentieth Century Art, Shizuoka, Japan. Paintings (from left to right, click to enlarge): Salvador Dalì, Venus and a Sailor (1), 1925. The soft balsamic warmth of this sensual fragrance would also work wonderfully on a man.
#MUSC RAVAGEUR FREDERIC MALLE SKIN#
It absorbs rapidly into the skin and, with some sacrifice of development, melds into a softer version of the EDP. Musc Ravageur Oil is a great alternative to the Eau de Parfum, especially for those who find the initial balsamic burst too dark. While I do not like many scented body products, Frédéric Malle has impressed me with the quality of its ancillary lines. The heightened interplay of powerful sensations, from hot glow of amber to icy sting of citrus, is what makes Musc Ravageur a memorable composition from the first inhale. Its animalic elements are seamlessly blended into dark vanillic warmth, interspersed with cool notes of bergamot and lavender. While Shalimar makes one wait in order to see what makes it a perfection-which one has to admit it is, whether one likes it or not, Musc Ravageur starts to unfold at once. It is a fragrance with its own creative merit that incorporates elements from Jacques Guerlain’s composition in order to convey another vision. Neither like Dalì simply imitated Picasso, nor is Musc Ravageur a copy of Shalimar. Walking through the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, I realize that in much the same way as great artworks inspire the new generation of artists, the influence of Jacques Guerlain’s Shalimar (1925) is felt in Frédéric Malle Musc Ravageur (2000).
Star rating: 5 stars–outstanding/potential classic, 4 stars–very good, 3 stars–adequate, 2 stars–disappointing, 1 star–poor.
