TIGRESS MUSK

by Fabergé Fragrances


A review of the Vintage Cologne.

 

Amber and musk are the dominant note in the opening phase.  A deep, rich, and saturated amber.  The musk is dark and a touch spicy, but is is softer than many other dark musks, and never harsh or faecaloid on me.

 

Cinnamon and clove are emanating in the central phase, and again in a similar way the discreet spiciness of the clove is more than compensate for by a lovely cinnamon impression.

 

The base is centered around a sandalwood note that is rich and quite deep,  with a pleasant nigh honey-like sweetness underlying the wood aroma.  At this time e whole mix is enriched by a restrained vanilla, that is applied more as a flavour-enhancing condiment than as a main contributor that takes over the show.

 

I get moderate sillage, very good projection, and six hours of longevity on my skin. 

 

This scent for autumnal evening out is well-composed of ingredient of a very high quality.  It is blended exceedingly well,  smooth, rich, but overall a bit linear.  The longevity is all right for a Cologne.   Released around 1979.  Alas, discontinued.  4/5
