Tonkin Musk: Sinensis

padding-top: 30px; } Tonkin Musk by Ensar Oud – Sensuous Aroma   Musk often gets overlooked, but natural musk is one of those aromas that seeps deep into your senses. It’s incredibly sensuous, sexy, and animalic all at once – you can’t help but fall for it. Tonkin Musk starts off with a juicy yuzu and spicy ginger combo that’s surprisingly decent for a musk-heavy fragrance.   The floral notes – almost fresh like a flower bouquet where narcissus and my beloved jasmine stands out amongst many others – add an enigmatic touch without overpowering the musky vibe. Instead, the florals enhance the fragrance’s complexity which adds a nice touch to overall composition of the fragrance.   In the dry down, the ever gorgeous musk, sandalwood, and oud come together, kicking some energy to the scent. This fragrance showcases why natural musk is so prized – the difference between it and synthetic musk accords is night and day. Tonkin Musk lasts beautifully on the skin, with decent sillage and a noticeable scent bubble. —Sunny C / USA Loving the new Tonkin musk. It starts a little bright and effervescent from the yuzu and ginger. The peach to me is more peach skin rather than biting into a juicy peach but it really rounds out the opening. The florals add a grace, beauty and give volume without ever becoming obviously floral. Obviously, the real star of the show here is the Tonkin musk. It’s velvety, warm, fuzzy and sensual. Ensar Oud does musks so well! Ecstatic to have this one in my collection. Edit: wow, this dry down is lovely. The ouds are coming out more and have a fruity undertone. It becomes softer with a powdery edge. This may have just become my favorite musk. —Erick F / USA My fav musk! MashAllah! —Miskbrother S This scent beautifully blends rich, animalic notes of musk with creamy, earthy undertones, creating an intimate and sensual aura. The Tonkin musk in the composition is deep and refined, while the addition of sweet, resinous elements offers a smooth balance. I had to revisit the little I had left once I saw the new iteration of Tonkin Musk come out (gorgeous caps!)   This fragrance is perfect for those who are searching for a full-bodied musk fragrance with flower nuances that don’t veer into extreme animalic territory. —Sam G / USA Wearing Tonkin musk right now and wow, this is magical —Oliver W A sweet, gentle floral, some what spicy composition, with a wonderful undertone of Musk. This is not a very animalic musk, rather it is soft and more of a “skin” note. Really enjoyable and easy to wear. —Mackenzie L / Canada One of the amazing scents by Ensar Oud. Very well rounded, non-animalic musk-based fragrance. Prominently peach, floral, lavender, Tonkin musk and sandalwood creaminess. Rose with the oud reflecting but not dominating and overall wearable on all occasions. UPDATE: EO presents a captivating fragrance characterized by a harmonious, non-animalic musk foundation. This exquisite scent boasts distinct notes of peach, floral tones, lavender, Tonkin musk, and the creamy allure of sandalwood. The interplay between rose and oud is balanced, creating an overall versatile fragrance suitable for every occasion. —Syed S / Pakistan Uplifting fruity peach/jasmine, creamy florals, warm cozy musk drydown. Very pleasant and easy to wear! —Florent F / USA   I’ve had my eye on a bottle of TM for about a year after trying a sample. They usually would always instantly disappear anytime they came up in the wild – but thankfully (shout out Adrian) I was able to score a 30 ml recently – and it smells identical to my sample. Thrilled!   Heavenly opening, subtle ginger on peach with the breezy lavender. And while the lavender levitates, I still see this a thick fragrance. Thick in its layers, ribbons of scent one can fall through – musk, cream, florals but all singing in unison. The blend on this one is insane, where you catch one ingredient transitioning to the next and overlapping in DNA somehow. Luxury in a bottle, it’s a stunning composition – in my top 5 and speaks to me with regalness and class about timeless beauty and exalting of the spirit – but also with a sensual side. Maybe a date at the Louvre in front of the Venus de Milo but you also
