Musk Deer – Extrait de Parfum

Zoologist's Musk Deer paints the picture of a male musk deer in the Siberian winter forest. The musk glands that once drove the species to near extinction served as the inspiration for this fragrance – recreated entirely without animal ingredients, using only synthetic musk, oud, and floral notes.

Musk Deer smells spicy, woody, and animalic: cardamom, calamus, and rose open spicy with a green sharpness, before jasmine sambac absolute, patchouli, Atlas cedar, and labdanum absolute intertwine at the heart into a warm, resinous core, while the base of ambrette seed absolute, orris absolute, Laotian oud, and Australian sandalwood provides an animalic, woody finish of great depth.

Musk Deer works best in the colder months, in the evening – a unisex fragrance for anyone seeking animalic depth without animal ingredients.

What makes this fragrance special to us: that Pascal Gaurin recreates entirely synthetically the gland secretions that once drove the musk deer to near extinction – a fragrance with a conscience that still stays animalic.
