Siberian Musk

Siberian Musk by Areej Le Doré is an intensely animalic, vintage-inspired chypre that unfolds like a velvety revelation on the skin. It begins with a crisp, frosty interplay of bergamot, citrus, and cypress, evoking a Siberian pine forest in winter, before deepening into a lush, creamy musk core. This is where the fragrance becomes truly distinctive—pure, natural deer musk mingles with sandalwood, spices, and amber, creating a deeply sensual, almost tactile animalic warmth that lingers for days. The drydown reveals a honeyed, fur-like muskiness layered over patchouli and vetiver, giving it a rare depth and longevity that feels both ancient and entirely new. The sillage is moderate to enormous, projecting with quiet confidence, but the overall impression is refined, almost intimate in its complexity—like a secret whispered from a forgotten era. It is not for the faint of heart. Those who appreciate the unfiltered power of real musk, chypre classics, and perfume artistry will find this a masterpiece. Its strength lies in its authenticity: the notes aren't simulated or synthetic, but drawn from rare, natural ingredients, resulting in a scent that defies modern perfumery. The fragrance evolves slowly, revealing layers with a meditative pace, offering olfactory surprise and emotional resonance. It's particularly suited to evening wear, where its warmth and depth truly shine, though its projection is strong enough for day-to-day use as well. The blend of cold pine, warm musk, and honeyed spices gives it a poetic, almost spiritual quality. It feels personal, transformative—not just worn, but lived. While only 100 bottles were made and it is now sold out, the impact it left on those who experienced it is profound. For anyone drawn to vintage perfumery, animalic depth, or the artistry of rare ingredients, this is more than a perfume: it's an unforgettable encounter.
