![]() Mind you, MR was one of the first decants I purchased. I’ve been going back and retesting MR about every three weeks and up until today it’s been mostly gourmand and powdery-floral. I’ve done this with essential oils and perfumes, and now Musc Ravageur. Have you heard that you can train your nose? Well, it’s true. Also, I was expecting more musk scent to be honest-that I wasn’t detecting at the time. Not disappointed in that Musc Ravageur wasn’t a good scent disappointed in that it wasn’t a good scent fit for me at that moment. Well, I got my decant and did the test on wrist, I was disappointed. ![]() I did most of my research at Fragrantica and Parfumo. Being new to the fragrance scene, I did my research and took the plunge for a 2 ml decant. I was looking for an animalic Musk but something mild that wasn’t too hairy and didn’t have legs like some hardcore animalic-musks. I was excited about 2 months ago to get a decent of Musc Ravageur because of the great reviews I read. Lavender, bergamot, clove, cinnamon, gaiac wood, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, amber, coumarin, tonka bean and tonkitone. More information and Frederic Malle reviews can be found at: The heightened interplay of powerful sensations, from hot glow of amber to icy sting of citrus, is what makes Musc Ravageur a memorable composition from the first inhale" Its animalic elements are seamlessly blended into dark vanillic warmth, interspersed with cool notes of bergamot and lavender. It’s a minor touch on my skin in any event, at least in its own right, because it feels almost completely subsumed into the overall gingerbread bouquet."įrom Bois de Jasmin - " Musc Ravageur starts to unfold at once. The cloves never smell meaty, sweaty, or peppered the way it can in some fragrances, probably because it’s highly refined and then cut through with both vanilla and tonka creaminess. The ginger is candied and sweet, dusted with spicy cloves, and light sprinkles of a much softer cinnamon. It is almost entirely dominated by spicy gingerbread in a haze of golden, ambered warmth. Reviews for Frederic Malle Musc Ravageurįrom Kafkaesque - " Musc Ravageur is a really simple scent on my skin from start to finish. Notes of lavender, bergamot, clove, cinnamon, gaiac wood, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, amber, coumarin, tonka bean and tonkitone. Sometimes interpreted as complete vampy musk and other times as warm and cuddly, it is an unforgettable fragrance. A spiced oriental that is husky and sensual with an amazing little gingerbread note. That is how he created Musc Ravageur a perfume that ran against the fads of the time, a forerunner of all the new orientals that emerged in 2001.Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur is an Oriental fragrance launched in 2000 and created by the well-known Maurice Roucel. Maurice Roucel’s strong personality allows him to bypass trends. That is how he obtains an opulent sensuality that is his signature. His generous writing is often based on musk notes, white flowers or amber. At the time, he started breaking down then studying each formula, each raw material from a part aesthetic, part chemist perspective that still is his strength today. This self-taught man defines himself as an “explorer that wanders through formulas”. Maurice Roucel joined the Chanel laboratories as a chemist in 1973. A sexy, turbulent perfume, in a word: ravageur. Its explosive departure of bergamot, tangerine and cinnamon is set against a backdrop of vanilla, musk and amber. Composed by Maurice Roucel as an “act of seduction and generosity”, Musc Ravageur is an uncompromising Oriental, which runs against current fads. A sensual perfume, powerful yet perfectly controlled, dramatic and mysterious. ![]() Launched in 2000, this composition was a turning point in the history of amber orientals.
