What does Misk Albahr Almayit smell like?

Frankincense and castoreum give the top a resinous, leathery and animalic start. In the heart, candle wax and sea salt carry that rough opening onto a creamy, faintly salty ground. At the base, patchouli adds earthiness, sandalwood a woody dryness and benzoin a sweet warmth, while spicy and smoky tones stay in the background throughout.

The scent has a dark, warm and dense character. Rook Perfumes Misk and El Nabil Oud Orient have a close profile.
