The Mystery of Musk

























As promised, the Natural Perfumers Guild musk-fest will commence tomorrow, July 1. Unexpected joys and sorrows are eating up my time, so I'm going to have to wait until the weekend to post reviews. Check back Saturday for my thoughts on the scents, and for details on the bottle giveaway. Meanwhile, visit Anya's blog for a full list of links to the other participants.




Diomedes devoured by his horses, Gustave Moreau, 1866

(What, you may ask, do the Mares of Diomedes have to do with the Mystery of Musk? Not a damn thing, I just like the painting, in all its grisly sensuality. Enjoy.)

    Hoping the joys outweigh the sorrows, M! And I'm curious, too. Musks are kind of a final frontier for me. We should get along, but we don't, really...

    Maybe you're unconsciously hoping to be torn asunder by musk.
