Musc Ravageur is the amber Eau de Parfum that Maurice Roucel composed for Frédéric Malle in 2000. The house calls it flower-free, opened by bergamot and mandarin over an amber, musky base where vanilla, sandalwood and musk blend, and makes it the hottest of its ambers, of an uncompromising eroticism.
Bergamot and mandarin form the top notes, cinnamon the heart, amber, vanilla, sandalwood and musk the base. The house selects three key notes, vanilla, cinnamon and musk.
Musky amber
The house describes a luminous opening of bergamot and mandarin, and an amber, musky base that unites the allure of vanilla, the unctuous texture of sandalwood and the temptation of musk.
Woods and spices
Perfume Shrine noted in 2010 cinnamon at the top, with clove and perhaps lavender, and a framework of cedar, sandalwood and guaiac. Kafkaesque cites as official notes bergamot, mandarin, cinnamon, vanilla, musk and amber.
What the label declares
The INCI list declares cinnamic aldehyde, or cinnamal, the main constituent of cinnamon bark oil, and eugenol, which clove carries. Coumarin evokes tonka bean, limonene and citral the citrus of the opening; BHT and tocopherol are antioxidants.
