INTEGRAL MUSK

A composition that explores the different routes musk can take in perfumery. Starting off clean and innocent with an inviting pink pepper, a pleasant heat reveals itself little by little through leathery and musky effects, evoking the animal origins of this invaluable ingredient.

Musk sums up all of the paradoxes and evolution of perfumery by its very existence. Animalic and dark, previously extracted from a small Asian deer, it has been deconstructed and synthetically put back together to ensure the species’ survival since the 1970's, so that we may enjoy its clean and comforting smell today. Thus, Le Galion witnessed this shift from old to new musks, reconciled in this Esquive which pays tribute to both of them.

« Today, musks are everywhere, but often as the embodiment of a certain olfactory cleanliness. With Esquive, I wanted to tell the whole story, its carnal origin as well as its undeniably comforting scent. »
