I also felt that it doesn’t have that musky “oompf” like the Mongolian or Siberian musk. My impression about Tibetan Musk, having tried 3 different products that contain Tibetan Musk from Ensar Oud (Tibetan Musk PP, Musk Motia and Musc Gardenia Ghalia) prior to this is that Tibetan Musk has somewhat the nuance of being in high mountain, with its cooling air vibes. The Musk is there but its different than the two other musks I have tried before, this one is Tibetan musk. This oil is one of the most incredible product Ensar Oud has to offer. So here is my experience with Musk Mitti. A fragrance that’s beautiful, musky sweet and rainy-day fresh, it’s not about what’s inside or how it was made but about the soothing, transporative aroma you get to experience with each swipe and the breezes of petrichor that tease you for hours after. Musk Mitti is a minimalist attar par excellence. As if those ancient musk grains had been crushed into the soil and baked together, the mitti and musk have become one. So, you’re not getting a whiff of musk from the mitti, like you’d expect had you just added some grains. To make Musk Mitti meant I painstakingly boiled raw Tibetan musk pods inside the mitti itself – non-stop – for months. Sandalwood’s inherently calming properties mimic, even enhance mitti’s own soothing aroma, acting like an exalting carrier instead of a mute one like you’d get from plain alcohol tinctures.īut there’s something you can do to make mitti even more primal…Īdd musk to the attar, and it’s like you made the earthy profile even more so – plus, musk glazes the rainy soil scent with a sweetened aroma that makes wearing the infusion more addictive. What looks like flatbread rolled from topsoil harvested in India (preferably outside of monsoon season), these clay disks are distilled to literally capture the scent of earth and rain.Ĭost depends on the carrier – traditionally, the carrier of choice is sandalwood. It’s topsoil that’s been baked inside an earthen kiln sealed with earth, which is then hydro-distilled, usually into an oil that forms the base of the attar. Oud has notes of petrichor, and certain Papuan ouds especially capture those notes beautifully – but also add to it. Think earthy, herbaceous, out by the river. The smell of rain, petrichor, calm and fresh – but not citrus fresh. ![]()
