Nubian Musk
by Sana Jardin
Nubian Musk by Sana Jardin is a deeply animalic and textured musk fragrance that strikes a balance between earthy, woody, and powdery accords. It opens with a bold, fresh animalic musk that is both clean and dirty—recalling warm skin, milky musk, and a hint of grapefruit blossom. Over time, the dry-down reveals a soft, cozy, and slightly sweet musk cloud, enhanced by cedar-like sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and the unique cypriol (nagarmotha) oil. The scent evolves into a powdery, earthy, and slightly spicy base, reminiscent of vintage, naturalistic perfumes. While some appreciate its modern, vintage-esque character, others note its restrained sillage and quick fade on skin, making it more suited to cooler seasons and intimate wear. The fragrance is unisex and delivers a multifaceted experience—airy and transparent one minute, enveloping and personal the next.
