Alexandra Balahoutis, scent provocateur and botanical perfumist of Strange Invisible Perfumes, tells a new story with the introduction of Musc Botanique. Musc Botanique interprets the carnality of nature in an atmosphere of botanical musk, distillates of Egyptian Geranium, Frankincense and notes of white amber. It is lucid, subtly erotic and cystalline in nature.
A precise reinvention of musk using only botanical extracts demands a dynamic mastery of pure plant essences. "Musc Botanique is essentially inspired by the demure sexuality of botany," states Balahoutis. Indeed, in wearing Musc Botanique, it is a very sexy, musk fragrance; long lasting, with a crisp universal character that develops warmth on the skin. Botanical perfumes are created without the aid of synthetic fixatives, therefore longevity of the fragrance depends on the wearer's chemistry and environmental influences. On me, I found the scent to last 3-4 hours and loved how it developed.
Musc Botanique is available at Barneys New York, Beautyhabit.com, select specialty retailers, the Strange Invisible Perfumes boutique and perfumery in Los Angeles or online at www.strangeinvisibleperfumes.com.
