This is a full fragrance formula to demonstrate the type of content you can access here by becoming a patron! I am quite a fan of the perfume Dzing! by L'Artisan Perfumer and I recently read that it was to be discontinued (though I am unsure if that is true or not). I also happen to love animalic notes in perfume and classical music so I decided to make a fragrance that was a nod to Dzing! whilst focussing heavily...

Couldn’t find Tonkin musk at Auram, any suggestions for a similar or less effect? Animalis, muscone or tonquitone? Or maybe Muskrat?
I’d say:
Musk Tonkin 4768-6/D – Replace this with tonquitone or shangralide – both are fine though I tend to prefer tonquitone generally.
Tonkin Musk 10236-2/D 10% – replace this with animalis 10%
Thanks a lot, I will stick to tonquitone and animalis. I am very curious about the scent of this perfume. I’ll leave a comment when its macerated diluted and ready.
Maybe it’ll fit in Victor Wong’s range of Zoologists perfumes haha!
I hope you like it – it is quite novel and modern.
This is really a surprise. I’ve blended this 9 days ago and I took a sniff today after a shake (macerating) and this smells like Sehr al Kalemat by Arabian Oud! Sehr Al Kalemat smells really boozy in the top notes. I have a bottle since 4 year.. it’s very strong. It also has nuances of La Vie e belle ..that’s the gourmand notes of course. Also the leathery notes appear. When I have diluted this blend, I will find out the true beast haha. .can’t wait! I’ve used Animalis and Tonquitone like Jamie suggested instead of Tonkin Musk> impossible… Read more »
Forgot to say that I really like this scent even when it’s not diluted yet!!
I do too – it’s one I often pick up just to sniff the bottle 🙂 I generally dislike using maltol and ethyl maltol so I was rather pleased to find a decent way I could use those within an animal structure rather than just an outright floral gourmand.
Fascinating! I’ve never heard of either of those fragrances! I wonder if the animalis takes it in an oud direction – the Tonkin Musk bases I use are very oily skin musk – whereas animalis is brighter and more woody animal – that might do it.
