Maurice Roucel is the nose behind the skanky and outrageous fragrance Musc Ravageur. In an interview discussing the fragrance, he admitted that despite its name, it ironically had no musk in it. His true musk fragrance was Eau de Cologne for Helmut Lang presented here. This has amazing diffusion and is a graunchy animalic musk bomb; it is unlike anything else you'll have smelled before (unless you've smelled the original).

This is definitely an interesting but enjoyable smell. I am wearing it now and the diffusion is very impressive. Its not cloying or saturating, just light and pleasant with a bright, woody, buttery sandalwood note really shining on my skin right now. I can see this definitely becoming something I would regularly wear year round. I’ve never smelled the original but I am really liking this clone a lot. Thanks for sharing Jamie!
This is one I wear a lot. I dab it on pure without diluting it and it still gets good diffusion. The cyclomethylene citronellol really contributes a magical quality to it.
Made this one 2 days ago and really enjoying it too.
Switched the Aurelione and cyclomethylene citronellol with some other Ingredients because i havnt got them yet and its really gorgeous.
Its an easy to wear fragrance
What did you use to replace the cyclomethylene citronellol with? I’d be curious how your substitution went with that as I particularly love that note in the fragrance.
I used 50 lyral and 50 hydroxycitronellal for that.
And for Aurelione i used L-muscone and velvione
Its a soapy fragrance Like that, really creamy with good Diffusion
Will compare it in the future with the real formula after i got the ingredients
EDIT: So my Version is probably more on the White Flower/ Lily of the Valley Kind of smell
Nice! I love lyral and hydroxycitronellal together. It sounds like you definitely have a good end result – my version is also definitely soapy and creamy 🙂
Just to double check here, is the benzoin at 100% for this formula? Just because most of your formulas use 50% and it’s what mine comes diluted to. Thanks for all the new content, I’ve really enjoyed it!
I made this formula up like its stated in the Formula.
I have benzoin at 50% too and just doubled the amount.
Worked out great like that
Hey John – sometimes I use a diluted benzoin and sometimes I use pure. In the case of this formula I used pure – so just do a double up of your 50% (like Florian did).
Perfect, thanks for the response guys!
