Georgina –
This is a glorious musk; deep, smooth and animalic in all the right places. It’s a lot more savoury than Ambrettolide, with a lovely leathery quality instead of fruity powder. For that reason, it seems easier to use and to dose, especially in floral compositions. I think this would work effortlessly with orientals and chypres too, as it adapts beautifully to the demands of other materials, giving richness, smoothness, and a subtle gamey interest.
DH –
Sweeter, fruitier and more floral than Muscenone or Cosmone, even though it shares some of their dry powderiness. If those are more like Musk Ketone, this is a little more like Musk Ambrette, though with an added greasy animalic undertone.
When I compared this side by side with Velvione I thought Ambretone opened a little stronger and clearer but Velvione lasted a little longer.
