In many ways Temple of Musk is the heads to Musc Botanique’s tails. Musc Botanique is the fragrance that captures the darkness of musk and the Hour Of The Wolf; Temple of Musk captures the brightness of musk and it is like standing in a Temple Of The Sun to greet the new day and all of the possibilities inherent in that.
Reminder: Temple of Musk is the bottle we are giving away at Cafleurebon
Is there life after 40… you bet! In a series by Yahoo, called Second Act, men and women, like Mandy Aftel (who became a natural perfumer over 15 years ago) turn there lives around, pursue their bliss and in Mandy’s case create a legacy that has touched thousands of lives and has given legitimacy to natural perfumery

Dawn wanted a fully-fleshed, rounded, complete perfume, not merely an accord-And it wouldn’t be hyperbole to confirm that she most certainly achieved her aim. I intend to purchase as big a bottle as I can afford, and wear it ‘til I drop, in all seasons.[Try to stop me]
Tallulah B2 is a fragrance that one would not immediately associate with the musk category. Rather its an exploration of using vegetal musk, as an underpinning of a natural scent and is an inherent part of its structure. It may be hidden from view, but its essential to its compostion. Overall a pleasing bright floating floral with a perfumed petticoat of the most delicate of “musk”, peaking through.
One of the perfumers who I have been wanting to try for a while is JoAnne Bassett. In Sensual Embrace Ms. Bassett chose to have her musk accord behave more like a promise of delights to come, and after the musk has enticed you in, the remains of Sensual Embrace fulfill that promise.
