EDITOR'S NOTE

Savage sex appeal.

Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur enhances the magnetic aspect of musk with amber, vanilla, patchouli, and sandalwood, at the total exclusion of floral notes. Having caused a scandal when the perfume first appeared in 2000, Musc Ravageur is now celebrated in all its sensuousness as the Sistine Chapel of the Amber Oriental tradition.

An unapologetically sexy perfume.

About the Perfumer: Maurice Roucel joined the Chanel laboratories as a chemist in 1973. This self-taught man defines himself as an "explorer that wanders through formulas". Opulent sensuality is his signature. Maurice Roucel's strong personality allows him to bypass trends. That is how he created Musc Ravageur a perfume that ran against the fads of the time, a forerunner of all the new orientals that emerged in 2001.
