Misk Black 20 ml — pocket black musk
Misk Black is a black musk presented in a 20 ml pocket bottle. The rectangular bottle, in thick glass, carries a black label stamped with three gold stars, the Arabic name مسك اسود (misk aswad, “black musk”) and the inscription “MISK BLACK 20 ml”, under a sculpted gold cap. No brand is printed on the bottle and no list of notes is published for this product: we therefore do not attribute a pyramid to it.
What “black musk” means
In oriental perfumery, black musk is the opposite of white musk: where white evokes clean linen and powder, black denotes darker, denser musky accords, often worked with woods or amber. This is the family claimed by the name Misk Black, though the exact composition of this bottle is not known.
Who it is for, and when
For those who like deep musks rather than soapy ones. Nothing on the bottle assigns it to a gender. Its size slips into a bag for a touch-up during the day; the dark accords of this family suit evenings and the cold season particularly well.
How to use
Apply a little, on the wrists and the base of the neck: a black musk is dosed sparingly. Let it dry without rubbing, close the bottle tightly and store it away from light and heat.
