What is the best fragrance for a hot sweaty humid swampy day?

>>17762229
you or someone like you (mint+musk) / menthe fraiche (mint+cedar)

The creamy orris drydown of Etruscan Water is truly one of the best drydowns I've smelled.

Bought Carven Intense, what i'm in for?
The based indian youtuber described it as similar like Colonia Club. If it's true than it's a total win.

>>17762247
is it real orris root?

>>17762274
no, that's only used in Guerlain Vetiver

>>17762273
Fresh and minty, hints of cucumber. Surprisingly long-lasting for its freshness.

>>17762279
Sounds good

>>17762278
please stop shitposting about orris root, we’re worried about you

>>17762286
I'm just joking anon, couldn't help myself

lets say I am going for that "cardamom" sort of fragrance...what are some good options? the cheaper the better.

>>17762296
Joop! Wow!

>>17762296
eau des baux has a decent amount of cardamom
but if you want a more fresh rendition of cardamom than the sticky sweet stuff most designers go for, voyage d'hermes does it really well

>>17762142
this

>>17762274
Yes, she uses the real thing. I follow her on insta and she often posts her ingredients including new deliveries of orris root absolute etc.
>>17762273
Very reasonable priced and amazing mint fragrance for summer. I haven’t seen it mentioned here in these threads for a long time. Enjoy

any europeans know what a good price for mouichoir de monsieur is? it's not listed on any price trackers and its out of stock in most places

what will I think?

I have never tried Caron pour un Homme, how would you describe it?

>>17762296
Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man

>>17762317
Your are speaking of this one right?

>>17762337
vanillic lavender that’s vaguely reminiscent of jicky but without that cookie dough feeling

>>17762337
Nice lavender soup scent. Nothing i would associate with Miami Vice.

>>17762339
worth? Is it similar to Wonderwood?

>>17762340
yep.

This is my jam. Something more longlasting in this direction?
I have Kiehls and it's not as sexy

Encourage other true channers to spam threads to suffocate the bad vibes.

The internet is a soul and soul gardenzz

>>17762350
it's extremely similar to tabac original, to the point where it was so similar that u returned jovan. first and only frag i ever returned

>>17762336

I know /fa/ hates Creed and I mostly agree, but I tried Royal Oud today and it’s great.

Spicy peppery open balanced with citrus, dries down into a very refined and mellow oud with sandalwood and musk.

Seems to last a good 6-8 hours as well. I might order a bottle.

Thanks I am excited to try moracain

Anyone else gets the impression that a significant portion of niche perfumes - despite being lauded as the more unique product - is actually embedded in the same soapy, slightly sweet, slightly coconutty background?

>>17762337
my friend said it smells like a hotel reception

>>17762337
Powdery lavender, vanilla, and coumarin. Very talc-y and not at all like Miami Vice. Some Miami Vice frags:
>Patou Pour Homme (Crockett's canonical fragrance)
>Grey Flannel (Tubb's canonical fragrance)
>Sung Homme
>Drakkar Noir

>>17762434

the fake stories of the house are very gay, but the scent itself is exactly as advertised (linden blossom, laurel & ivy leaves, vetiver, oakmoss, tennis balls, clay court)
the tennis ball note is interesting but i like the yellow flowery (linden blossom i guess) opening more, spring/summer scent for me
not bad

Kiehls just smells like an old lady floral to me. Jovan smells like the musk in kouros but clean

>>17762388
good for you

God, Jasmine 17 is repulsive
I found it in my mom's cabinet to my surprise and sprayed it on my arm to test it
It kicks off with this weird, synthetic orange blossom and neroli and dries down as musk galore with barely some SLIGHT sweetness to ground it
Maybe it's an old batch but this definitely evokes to me some synthetic analog thing that mingled with eggs and dog water

>>17762559
>Heritage
>pondering what version pick
Just get the superior option: New York Intense.

>>17762606
Le Labo is another fake niche bullshit brand. You got jewed

What does this thread think of Dylan Blue?

>>17762388
Yes their only great one, fit only for oldfags and CEOs cranking that $ printer. Incense, cedar, dank, cinnamon and spices, musky amber with a dab of oud in there somewhere, but who wants to smell like anal gland anyway? I knew first whiff this would always be #1 on MY list.

>>17762101
Search smells more like lemongrass than lemon to me, I don't get why people are complaining about the zestiness taking a backseat here. It's perfect as a citronella/lemongrass scent, which is not really a fresh zesty citrus like many other freshies are

>>17762148
Take a break and try it in a few hours
Drink some coffee or go on a walk in places with clean air
If it's still weak after that, then it's probably not your nose that's the issue

>>17762388
No one really hates Creed, they're just highly overrated and people are rightfully upset with their inconsistency

What are some dark, heavy and woody bittersweet scents with a medicinal/herbal bite? I really like Atelier Cologne's Gaiac Eternel, but it's not sold in my country. Serge Lutens Perilleusement Votre comes close, but I still feel that its not as herbal

Noselet here, to anyone who has actually smelled this soap in person, how would you describe its scent (beyond the basics they list on their website) and what frags would you suggest give a similar aroma?

>>17762673

Looking for a sexy winter fragrance, spice, tobacco, etc, tossing between
>tobacco vanille (probably too expensive for me)
>Al Haramain Amber Oud tobacco edition (alleged clone of TV?)
>spicebomb (or the spicebomb extreme??)
>burberry london
more?

>>17762958
I was just reading some reviews that say Nicolai eau d'ete smells like coke but I can't verify

>>17762969
All I will say is that I have a 30ml bottle of tobacco vanille and it is worth every dollar. Literally cannot go wrong as a winter/night-time scent

>>17762984
how long would you say a 30ml would last you?
The reason I want it is I'm going on an exchange to canada next winter (from tropical australia) for 4 months kek

>>17762673
Great fragrance and a very safe choice. You can pretty much wear it for every occasion/season. It is quite common though

Can you guys recommend a frag that smells like musk from a musk deer?

>>17762992
plenty of perfumes still use real deer musk, areej le dore is also releasing some classic scents with musk in a few days

TF Oud Wood or Aventus Royal Oud?

smells like bubble gum and heaven

thanks breh, going to try grab a bunch of samples. I'm rather new to this.

nice projection here

>>17763119
nothing for me to project, i don’t wear le male after all

I went to the Creed boutique yesterday. The sales assistant talked about layering their fragrances and was excited to show me the “ice cold piña colada”.

He then proceeded to spray me with Aventus (pineapple), Virgin Island Water (coconut), and Silver Mountain Water (ice), which he said was “the most expensive and best smelling cocktail in the world”.

I felt under pressure and my autism got the better of me so I ended up spending $900 on three bottles.

>>17762512
update on performance: the grass + tennis ball base is still there as a skin scent after 12 hours

>>17763052

Let me take you on a journey, friend. You’re on vacation in San Francisco, you return to your hotel but have forgotten your room number. You walk into the room of another guest by mistake. Immediately upon entering, you notice that a bunch of high-test men are fucking on a bed shaped like a giant Aventus cap covered with sequins. A generic gym playlist is playing on a loop on the room’s sound system, a dumbbell hangs from the ceiling, a large TV displays feminine males getting rawdogged. Oliver Creed is sitting on a chair in the corner sipping a piña colada.

Aventus is gayer than that room.

>>17763133
lol you got peer pressured by a literal sub-80 IQ retard
>>17763137
it’s only gay if the balls touch (and you’re wearing le male)

>>17762969
Try the Guerlain L'homme Ideal series

>>17763140
What a vivid imagination, are you sure you're not an Aventus user yourself?

>>17762992
>>17763004
The other anon is right but I would rather recommend Musk Cologne from Bortnikoff not Musk Khabib if you want to understand the note. Musk Kabib is much more complex and it might be hard to pin down it. Other than that, I would recommend Prin Lomros' frags. For example Mriga. It is pointless to chase ALD bottles but in 3 days there's a new collection coming, so if you'd like to make some easy money I would buy the set and resell it in 1year for $1000 profit. Meleg/Mellifluence should have rather pure deer musk for you. I have recently came across the Sultan Pasha Attars deer musk attar and can recommend it, too.
>>17763024

There used to be official the "Creed Royal Blends." And even "The Creed Master Blender," i.e., a special guy visiting Creed's boutiques to teach and advise on the layering. Some of the blends:
"Cocktail of Passion" = Erolfa + BdP
"Royal Blend" = RW + MI $(SMW)*
"Blend of Love" = SF + MI
"Innocent Blend" = SF + MI + SMW

Remember to support your local independent businesses

at the jovoy shop outside the louvre. this place is frankly a niche perfume lover’s dream. they have entire collections from tauer, MDCI, jacques fath, houbigant, ormonde jayne, ELDO, amouage, escentric molecules, aedes de venustas. parfum d’empire, yadda yadda yadda. this is real niche perfumery, no masstige shit, and i’m pretty sure anyone with even a passing interest in perfumery could smell something new every 5 minutes and still not be done after a week.

>>17763322
LOL, picture got flipped. anyways, whoever it was who shills l’air des alpes suisses here, you have good taste. sundowner on the other hand i’m not so sure about.

People like this actually exist?

>>17763289
If you're an amerimutt or literally a canadian, black currant in Synthetic Jungle's notes likely would smell for you like piss and shit. But for an experienced fragrance enjoyer it starts like L’Ombre Dans L’Eau Diptyque and after that smells close to like Chanel No 19.

>>17763322
which other stores in paris are worth checking out? jovoy, guerlain (champs elysee), caron (rue francois?), what else? and which nicolai boutique is the good one?

Supposedly, Dior has Vetiver and other discontinued exclusives at its Paris location. Also, I'd visit Celine for Black Tie, Nightclubbing and Reptile.

>>17763408
Thanks that rocks!

i managed to request for a sample of l’iris de fath (the iris gris recreation) as i walked out of jovoy. i’m gonna have fun with that one for sure.

also, i spotted bois imperial while paying and got it on a strip. it smells utterly unremarkable. i cannot believe we have a schizo in these threads who dedicates all his time to spamming about something so mediocre. and no, it’s not better than H24.

>>17763420
> sample of l’iris de fath
If it’s Extrait then that sample is worth a lunch and a glass of wine at a good restaurant.

>>17763420
>bois imperial
it's an affordable and interesting entry point into the niche world (along with the whole EP lineup), nothing more, nothing less
H24 is of course better

>>17762101
Newer to this and just got a batch of decants last week that I've been trying out as kind of a "starter" to figure out what I like based off the flowchart/101 chart and scents I'd like before or groups that sound to my taste. Typically I like Woody Floral/Floral Musk. Did get some recommendations from here before, I started with

>Floris No. 89
>Dior Homme (The 2020 reformulation, could not find samples/decants of the original)
>Terre d'Hermès
>Lalique Encre Noir
>Cartier Declaration d'un Soir

Some of them very good, but having an issue with strength, all EdTs. I'm not sure if it's a me thing living in a hot humid state, weak decants, or just the scents and I'm used to stronger bad colognes I was always given as gifts, or a fucked up nose (There's precedence for that in my life).

Honestly, of these the Floris has been the best, which I expected going in as what sounded best to me, but was most surprised because it had the longest-lasting, strongest scent to me, while still being subtle. The Homme has been good but it seems to almost disappear after a few hours, maybe it's just similar to a normal scent for me, but it's the one I've gotten the most comments on (Nice but not decisive of where I want to go). Occasional iris-y notes, but nothing consistent. Hermès was disappointing in a similar way, just very normal cologne smell, but not bad. Encre Noir is what actually makes me wonder if I got weak decants or something, because it smells fine, but I wouldn't call it "inky" or strong, and being totally new to it aside from once getting some Ombre Leather as a gift doesn't seem to dark or strong, and if that's vetiver then it's pleasant but could be more. The Cartier is nice but smells very florid, which I like but want more musk/wood/complexity from.

Does this match up with anyone's experience, any suggestions off of it? The decants were from DecantX if it matters, who had the best selection of what I wanted in one place and seemed well-reviewed.

>>17763450
Encre noir both isnt a particularly strong perfume, and relies heavily on Iso E Super which most people go anosmic too quickly.

The best solution to this is to decant perfumes you like into little spray bottles and reapply throughout the day. And to moisturise before applying.

how to smell like schrödinger ?

>>17763474
He seems like a vintage Caron/Guerlain type of guy. Anime twinks love them.

>>17763395
banana peel ,metal and cat piss. Love it

WTF, this shit smells like a bag of chocolate wafers. Low key trash. Who would want to smell like that

is this the best female frag?

>>17763495
im brown and would love to smell like chocolate and it makes white women go crazy

>>17763495
I always assumed Montale was for black people thanks to this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq9Q31ordGo

>>17763499
it doesn't smell like chocolate that's the point. Chocolate wafers is different. Go to the store and buy chocolate wafers, empty the bag and smell it. Exactly like montale.

>>17763450
Encre Noire isn't strong nowadays. and yes, it's not as dark as some say
Dior Homme 2020 has zero iris and nothing in common with the old scent
you might be going noseblind. where are you applying the fragrances and how much?

you might enjoy Dior Homme Parfum, if you can find it. it's floral, leathery, a bit smoky, a bit musky and with some creamy sandalwood. quite complex and very long-lasting. the Intense is also an option, not quite as strong and complex, but easier to find at stores and should give you an idea if you like the DNA

>>17762988
Fucking ages dude. I only put two sprays on whenever I use it, one on each wrist. It is an extremely long-lasting scent, you will not have it run out 4 hours in. You can go to bed and wake up still smelling of it the next day

>>17763445
nope, just the new EDP. still at least worth 20 euros of fluid though.
>>17763448
but what exactly about it is niche? it’s not particularly unusual or inventive, it’s just a vaguely sweet and unimposing woody amber.

>>17763528
Niche has more to do with the type of perfume house that makes it, than the nature of the scent.

no time to visit nicolai today, spent too much time ogling charvet and now i have to do laundry and $$$ dinner.

>>17763532
neither the perfumer (more important than the house, if you ask me) nor the scent strike me as terribly niche. if it were released by dolce & gabbana or kenzo (lol) no one would blink twice.

>>17763395
>Parfum smells like that
time to go try it out

Is it worth getting? I just want a 15ml bottle since it is a blind buy cause i cannot smell it in any stores around. I do like non npc scents, do enjoy gucci guilty absolute as a matter of fact. But on the other hand i also wanna get When soul gets high which is a clone of back to black by killian and the notes have been interesting for me. So yeah two extremely different scent profiles but cannot make up my mind

>>17763603
>Familiarity with too many trivial perfumes can at length turn one into a libertine of smell: cynical, unmoved, cruelly practical. But every old roué hides at his core an unblemished memory of the boy he once was, ready to fall for the first creature whose intelligence revives his freezedried heart. I felt something give way when I smelled 1740: the shimmering classical accord of leather, immortelle, spice, rich pipe tobacco, and a sort of lived-in buttery warmth is simply irresistible. And why resist?
sounds good, i don’t see why not

2nd update: it's still a skin cent after 24 hours

>>17763800
I’ll try to get the entire set but it seems that there’s lots of hype around this collection so I don’t have high hopes

>>17763853
Yea I bet the full set sells out pretty quick, I think the individual bottles will be selling at a later date

>>17763864
The thing with that Faggot Russian Adam is that he always keeps less individual bottles than sets. I am genuinely considering getting the entire set just to get the three bottles I'm interested in and sell Walimah and Syberian Musk to some sucker later on. But this time he has really outdone himself, and offers Free Shipping as the bonus for spending $1550 on the entire set lol. No -5%, no freebies, no nothing. I did the maths and buying all 5 bottles individually costs $1550 as well but you're not getting free shipping. How much of a grifter do you need to be to do that?

>>17763869
>spending $1550 on a perfume
You people are not right in your heads

>>17763877
On 5 of them

>>17763869
his shipping prices are fucking absurd to begin with, it's like 45 usd iirc

>>17763881
Which I would get if he was shipping them out of his pedo shithole in Thailand, but he has shipping points in Netherlands, Asia and the US. No way it costs him any more than $10-20 to send parcels worldwide. These 45 bucks are pure profit for him.

>>17763880
>spending $1550 on 5 perfumes
Are they made of liquid gold or what?

I usually hate fragrance promo videos, but these Parfum D’Empire ones are so good and convince me to try all of the frags

Can you recommend some fragrances that utilise leather in a similar way to Masculin Pluriel? As in use it to give some backbone and some underlying density instead of just straight car/leather jacket smell? I feel like santal 33 does something similar but I don't care for it other than that.

I remember smelling this when it first came out a decade ago and it was pretty nice.

Has anyone copped a bottle since the re-release?

>>17763894
It smells like that sometimes

Recommend me autumn frags I can wear in hot, humid, central Florida. Is this even feasible or should I just say fuck it and wear summer fragrances? What about, uh, spooky summer fragrances, is there such a thing?

>>17764167
>a vacation in Europe for $250
don't think I will be doing that

>>17763395
Steel Magnolia is a native Malaysian frag, idk if they export it, but you can try getting it from their main web store or through the Shopee platform like I did

The house is called AGift With Care

>>17764167
Because I make so much money but don’t get the time off to spend money to go to Europe, not that I would want to go there anyway. Too many Muslims. I’d prefer to go surf somewhere warm and with good surf. Anyway, Sotd Caron pour un homme. The musky dry down is reminiscent of l’anarchist which k wore just a day before.

>>17763979
If you wanna smell like buttercream frosted carrot cake that’s been sitting out all day, sure

>>17763378
Kek no Guerlain vetiver, no Caron pour in homme. What a retard.

Do people actually like Le Labo? Out of the 10-ish scents I tried from them, the only ones that seemed interesting were santal 33 and tonka 25

>SOTD: Parfums Dusita Erawan
main note is indeed hay (as advertised on the green frags chart (>>17763408)) but there's also a flowery/fruity accord making it interesting, unisex but a bit feminine-leaning, spring/summer scent
will comment on the performance later on
quite similar to Bascule from Sarah Baker Perfumes but this blend is way better
good stuff, but not for me (i guess)

>>17764645
Snice. Thanks for your review. On me, it had quite interesting chocolaty aspects to it. Think British mint chocolates. It was working with hay really well. LUSH Smell of Weather Turning takes this a step forward and makes hay-mint accord the central piece of the composition.

Guys, how long can I store opened perfume for it to keep? I usually buy cheap zara perfume because I don't mind using it up. I wanted to get some good stuff but it's too expensive to use unless it's a special ocassion though.

>>17764689
expensive, kek

>>17764696
just keep the cap on and out of direct sunlight (or any light) and heat (just put it back in the box). Good quality frags can last for many years before the scent changes for worse

I found a site where they sell samples and I want to buy Layton 10ml,Creed aventus 10ml and Angels share 10ml. How do I know they wont fuck with it/add water or anything else? The site looks good

>>17764374
tried several of them as well and only found patchouli 24 interesting. shares a few similarities with bvlgari black which is one of my fav scents, but leans savory, smoky, pungent. very animalic and ruthless, unlike any other le labo stuff. I like matcha as well but it's not a great perfume really.
>>17764738
just get sand desert at sunset instead of angel's share. they're both mediocre fragrances but the zara one seems better exectued for 1/10 of the price (they're both from Lapouza so Zara problably told him hey we want angel's share can you make it again and he's like sure lmao)

I just got two bottles of pic related, I'm a hotel boss man and I am going to mog every employee and guest

quick spritz of aventus at lafayette champs elysee. i can’t believe it’s such a nothing perfume holy shit. it’s just a citrusy pineapple. how the fuck have people been going apeshit over this thing for 10 years?

also passed by the chanel parfums there, compared bois des iles and cuir de russie’s parfums to their eau de parfum counterparts. bois des iles’ EDP is essentially just a less rich, less saturated version of the real thing, but cuir de russie EDP may as well not even be the same fragrance. it borders on iris soliflore and lacks much of the birch tar smokiness of the pure parfum. i walked out with CdR parfum.

also, visited the parfums de nicolai store near champs elysee. as it turns out, the flagship is the one near the louvre, but they all have a similar selection of perfumes (ie. the whole lineup). tried bois belize intense vie de chateau intense, neroli intense, odalisque, baikal leather, fig tea, patchouli intense, and of course the new iris medici intense. walked out with iris medici (a stupendous iris without the breadiness) and bois belize (tea chypre?) but i also loved odalisque. that one can wait, while apparently iris medici is an in-store exclusive for the time being (ignoring the fact that it’s technically not released yet).

>>17764772
jovoy psychedelique

>>17764862
nice!
supposedly sneed amogus smelled quite different when it was hyped, it had more prominent birch smoke
I've never smelled the thing, but I haven't liked either Explorer, Cedrat Boise or that one Loewe, so maybe I just don't like that DNA. of the three Loewe was the best and and Cedrat Boise by far the worst

>>17764862
Based anon delivers again. Go to osmotheque and hook up with Patricia de Nicolai.

>>17764862
> walked out with iris medici (a stupendous iris without the breadiness
Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you now I feel FOMO of my life while needing to wait for it to be available where I live in autumn. Write some proper review of it. What is it like?

>>17764879
considering i literally just bought another perfume that’s heavily dependent on birch tar (cuir de russie), i find the idea of the aventus i smelled with birch tar not being particularly compelling either.
>>17764885
they’re closed until the end of august. trust me, i tried. the store assistant at the small PdN boutique i was at was kinda flirty though, if i wasn’t there with my mom i might have indulged, but i restrained myself.
>>17764887
more iris floral, less iris leather. very saturated, mildly powdery, and densely sweet in the sort of neo-guerlain classical style that PdN has turned into her signature.

>>17764879
explorer boils down to a weird kind of musky that's not like ball sweat or sour sweat, but that's probably the wood/chocolate combo?

>>17764705
what about splash bottles?

BASED.
Welcome to the Nicolai Lounge, anon. Please take a sit wherever you want. The waiter should be with you in a minute. Do you want a cigar?

>>17763455
Good to know. I did get a hint of the "pencil shavings" and liked it, but it was brief, so that may be the case. For your second point, these are already decants I purchased, so not much point to that and I want to be careful if I did go anosmic, so I don't end up drowning myself it in while I'm just unable to smell it.

Raises a good question, though, what's the best way to make home decants? It'd be handy since I travel around/am on the go frequently. I used to have a smaller bottle I'd just spray the nozzle into over and over since it wouldn't come off, which was clearly wasteful and with cheaper stuff, kek.

>>17763507
Good to know that may not just be me. Like I said, tad disappointed, because I really wanted some variety, was ready for "inky", and have no frame of reference for vetiver and wanted one. The thread images were very helpful, best basics I'd found anywhere, but may need to be updated if they're behind on reformulations/etc. The Homme thing especially if the flowchart uses it as such a base, not easy to go find now. I had read that and maybe that was just psychosomatic or something else on me (Soap most likely).

Noseblind is possible. I'm doing one on each wrist about 3-4 inches up (Away from getting washed off with handwashing/rubbed off by watch but still present), and usually two to three to collarbone/base of neck now. I always used to go with just three in the same spots but am trying to take suggestions and be more conscious about it now, and am probably used to stronger cheaper stuff than EdT so may overcompensate. My nose is a pain, though, I live in a humid area with shit allergies, and do tend to get used to consistent smells quickly. Didn't figure it'd be that quick enough to not even get notes of drydown off a new fragrance, though, unless they're just drying that quick.

Good to know, I'll look into that. I really liked the sound of the original, but that also sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info, anon.

>>17764949
i’ve had new york intense for months now, i just chose to wait until visiting paris and smelling stuff in person to expand my nicolai collection. odalisque is probably in my future as well.

also, an interesting footnote for any perfumery nerds: it appears that patricia de nicolai still exclusively uses (and insists on) real oakmoss, not the low atranol stuff that chanel and guerlain have defaulted to. through some perfume sorcery it looks like she’s creating all her new perfume formulas with the oakmoss restriction in mind, and they still shine as if there was never any restriction at all. pretty miraculous stuff if you care enough to know what that entails.

I have no interest in Areej Le Dore but I manage to drop that much on something retarded most months

People here are at different stages of their lives and at different income levels, what is expensive for one person is not necessarily expensive for the next

>>17765043
$1500 on perfume is objectively a lot of money for perfume, just like how $100 for a bottle of water is objectively a lot of money for water. it’s not relative to spending power, it’s about how much the normal price of a given thing is.

>>17765016
It’s definitely up there. It’s a little bit sweet for me to wear personally, but it is fucking beautiful on others

>>17765045
Ehhh

I’d never spend that much on a bottle of water, but I would spend that on five bottles of perfume so perhaps this is subjective?

10k on a watch is expensive, or is the bargain of a lifetime depending on what the watch is

>>17765043

>>17765124
Wild oud wood is becoming increasingly rare and will likely disappear entirely within your lifetime, "farmed" trees will be the only way to source it in the future and even that is a heavy undertaking in itself. Deer musk is basically illegal to harvest in most countries and is pretty much only sourced from Russia these days in small quantities.
