Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle is warm skin, spice and vanilla, worn close and hard to ignore. A brisk start of lavender, tangerine, bergamot and coriander fades quickly. Cinnamon and clove take over, with orris, rose and osmanthus rounding out the heart. The base is where it lives: musk, vanilla, tonka and amber over sandalwood, guaiac wood, cedar and patchouli, with an animal edge that keeps it human. It came out in 2000 and is worn by men and women who like scent to feel both intimate and bold. Keep it for winter evenings and late nights. Most wearers vote it long-lasting. The sillage vote leans strong. A 3ml decant is enough to find out whether it suits your skin.

The house
More from Frederic Malle
Frederic Malle is a French niche house that began in 2000, and its perfumes favour depth and structure over passing trends. Rose, amber and musk run through the range, often warmed with cinnamon, cloves or saffron and grounded in patchouli and sandalwood. Portrait of a Lady is the one to try first: a dark, spiced rose resting on amber. Musc Ravageur, from the house's first year, is warm, powdery musk with vanilla. Promise turns rose earthy and woody, while The Moon sets sweet fruit against oud. Acne Studios goes the other way, fresh and aldehydic. Wear two or three for a week and the house style soon comes into focus.
