No. XXV Red Musc
by Mad et Len
No. XXV Red Musc is a minimalist, unisex musk that leans heavily synthetic yet manages a soft, warm, and subtly oceanic character. It presents as a delicate, skin-scented vapor with a linear, linear progression that unfolds softly over the skin—often described as reminiscent of old-fashioned soaps or fleeting ocean mist. The scent is light and transparent, fading quickly but not without lasting presence, especially on warm skin. While some find it evokes desert earthiness and subtle spice, others perceive it as bland or unnaturally synthetic. Its greatest strength lies in its simplicity and long-lasting projection, with many noting it lingers well beyond typical musks.
