Musc X
Musc X by BORNTOSTANDOUT is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with frankincense, moves into labdanum and cotton candy and dries down to ambroxan, amberwood, musk, benzoin and ambrette seed. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Cotton Candy Spun sugar. Very sweet and slightly childish.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
