Muscs Koublai Khan fits in those liminal spaces, between day and night, winter and summer, weekend and weekday. For all the days where you don’t know if you’re coming or going. Am I tired because it’s a Monday or because it’s a Friday?

If you want to smell an old-world musk perfume, this has everything you could want. Castoreum, civet, tonkin musk, warm and bodily and without apology. Don’t wear it for the compliments, wear it to remember what it feels to be alive.

Warm yet airy and inviting. Like the first sip of a cocktail that sets fire to your tongue, but then clears your sinuses and wakes you up.

If you go to Paris, you need to smell this. It’s the Hotel Costes perfume, and if you’re in Paris, where the Costes hotel is, you may as well go down there and try the perfume for yourself.

Travelling is the one time I buy things on the spot, and when I passed by the Costes Hotel in Paris, I remembered that they have a famous perfume that was done by Olivia Giacobetti. It turns out that they have a little record store right next to the hotel and it also has all the perfumes, candles, and home scents. I put on Costes 1 and 2, just happy to have been able to try the perfumes, and left with my wrist pressed to my nose.

And then I turned around. I didn’t know whether I’d have time to come back the way of Hotel Costes again, so I had to pick up this bottle.

Cinnamon and aromatics, blended with a fresh, dewy rose, it starts warm but stays airy. The fruity aspects of the rose come out as it sits on your skin, but it’s never too sweet. It’s the perfect Paris find.
