Naomi Campbell Herb Ritts 1991
There are stories about Josephine Bonaparte and her love of heavy musks, which she used to scent print the lustful and wayward Napoleon. According to legend, Napoleon dispatched this message to her after every campaign: “don't wash, I'm on my way". Musk can be transforming in a perfume with the power to refine, extend and balance or it can be the essence of sex. Musk is the odor of attraction, of sensuality, of wealth, and is the base upon which most perfumes are constructed. Roja Parfums Musk Aoud, composed in 2015 is one of the best musk fragrances we have found… yes there is aoud but it a supporting player in this Extrait de Parfum.

There is a hint of rose, but ambrette (botanical which mimics the scent of musk) and leather combine at the base with Roja Dove’s musk accord in Roja Parfums Musk Aoud. There is elegance to this fragrance; the leather is reminiscent of supple suede gloves, that are slowly peeled off finger by finger.
Sr. Contributor Sebastian Jara of the YouTube Channel Smelling Great, and founder of a popular Facebook group, admittedly told me that Roja Parfums Musk Aoud is one of his all-time favorite musk perfumes, and asked would have topped his list of best musk perfumes in collection. –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
