FAQ

Is Musc des Sables for men or women? It's unisex. Warm and animalic rather than classically gendered.

What does "tinctured over six months" mean? The house steeps its ambergris in alcohol for six months before use, drawing out a deeper, more rounded animalic character than a quicker extraction would give.

How long does it last? Long, typically 7–9 hours, with a moderate-to-strong sillage that settles closer to the skin after the first hour.

Best occasion to wear it? Evenings and special occasions in fall and winter, when its warm, enveloping character has room to unfold.
