Musk
Musk: versatile and exciting. Musky perfumes are powdery, creamy and caring, but also sensual, earthy and a little animalic. It is a favorite base note used in all kinds of products, from perfumes to skincare to candles and beyond. Back in the day, actual musk was derived from animal glands. Fortunately musk of animal origin is no longer allowed. The musky scents you smell today is entirely ethical, made up of a combination of beautiful synthetics and natural resources like plants.
Alexandra Carlin
Curious, sensitive, and always in dialogue with words and scent, Alexandra Carlin is a perfumer who tells stories through fragrance. She once dreamed of becoming a novelist, until a single radio interview changed her path and she discovered that scent was her true language. Today, she translates emotions, memories, and literary imagery into fragrances that resonate deeply. For houses such as Bottega Veneta, Amouage, Diptyque, and Dolce & Gabbana, she has composed creations as refined as they are expressive. From her studio at IFF, she continues to search for new words in the language of perfume — crafting scents that are not only worn, but read and felt.
