Anyone who keeps up with Dawn Spencer Hurwitz's incredibly prolific perfumery knows that she does wonders with musk, so I was eager to see where she'd go with the MoM project. Musk Eau Natural (yeah, the pun's intended) turns out to be a pleasant shock. Instead of being the floral or gourmand I expected, Musk Eau Natural is just musk--straight up, no chaser. It's a fiercely animalic brew with just enough spicy and resinous notes to lend a dirty opulence. Imagine Madini Musk Gazelle refined and moved uptown, but with all its tenacity retained. I have to say that Musk Eau Natural is a bit much in the heat of a Tennessee summer, but I'm sure I'll be hunting down my vial come the annual January scent binge.

I will carry on dousing the heavy scents... summer heat wave or no...I am most desirous of this musk without frills fragrance!
Yes Please! She didn't just do 1 iteration but rather 4, I'm tempted to just buy some samples using the 20% off code.. hehe
Just to clarify--the giveaway bottle is PPC's Musk Nouveau, not DSH's Musk Eau Natural. (Is that confusing enough?)
MN is a very different animal than MEN, though both are lovely ;-)
OH how I adore the DSH !!!!!
Like MM, I could bathe in this- and I damn well might....
Agreed.
Comparing pineapples and watermelons; two completely different creatures, both amazingly pleasurable.
MWAH.
Musk Gazelle, thank you for mentioning that, I couldn't quite think what DSH's wonderful musk perfume reminded me of, now you've jogged my memory. I prefer the DSH, though, it's truly stunning. And please enter me in the drawing!
