i'm not sure how musk smells but I recommend Musk Cologne by Bortnikoff (but pretty expensive)

I tested David Jourquin perfumes recently and was blown away . I tested 3 and all 3 are SUBLIME.
this is a really interesting house.
they offer 5 ml samples for 8.90€ which is really cheap (for the quality)

I finished testing all their offerings and almost all are sublime;
Cuir de R'Eve
Cuir Mandarine
Cuir Altesse
Cuir Tabac

and those are "excellent++"
Cuir Solaire
Cuir Caraïbes
Cuir Vénitien

very interesting, some remind me of other brands, but the execution is simply sublime


another brand that amazed me recently is Spiritum:

all those are sublime as well :
Solar Soul - Ambition
Wisdom Universe - Harmonie
Builder of Future - Abondance
Spiritual Explorer - Inspiration
Final Spirit - Altruisme
The Guardian Master - Protection

so good (and i've tested 1000's of perfumes)

what do you look for in a perfume?
all candles smell good but what makes it stand out to you?

I can't really explain what I like or don't like in a perfume.
i'm looking for something a god would wear, you know, something that has an amazing blending, but also originality and an exemplary execution.
but for a perfume to be sublime I have to be amazed at how it smells during all the evolution of the perfume (from opening to dry-down (NOT draw down lol)), never getting enough of it, being amazed at each sniff, also it has to be very strong.

Rook Perfumes amazed me that way, very original (never smelled anything like it) and it has something from another realm
just look at the reviews they are not bullshitting around

Tested Aqua Regia from Kemi recently, and even if the price is very high (around $400) the scent is heavenly. One of my fav perfume of all time. This is good stuff
