Misk
Misk by Rook Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with musk, oud, castoreum and incense, moves into sea salt, leather and beeswax and dries down to sandalwood, musk, amber, patchouli and benzoin. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Castoreum Leathery, smoky and warm. Adds depth and a bit of danger.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Heart
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Beeswax Honeyed and waxy with a faint barnyard hum underneath.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
