Kate Moss Trivia!
Ever since my bessie mate brought me one for my birthday last month i’ve been addicted to burning I Conjure Candles new Vixen Candle. I just can’t seem to walk past it without picking it up and smelling it. I read last week that Kate Moss has a passion for them too.
My Mum says that it’s the musky leatherly tones that attracts me because humans are attracted to these scents. Is this true?

Musk is one of the most penatrating essences known to man. It’s diffusive power is unequal- just a few molecules can scent literally millons of cubic feet of air. Perhaps that is why many animals and insects use this fragrant bodily secretion to send silent, invisible signals to lure mates or warn competitors. Humans are also exquisetly attracted to (and repelled by) the smell of musk. It is no wonder Musk has such an evocative allure when you consider the central role it plays in securing the survival of a great many different plant and animal species.

At the same time musk is incredibly useful in the construction of perfumes. It acts to chemically ‘fix’ or absorb and preserve the other volatile components-including the floral and vegetal essences of flowers, spices, grasses/herbs, and woods. It smooths and blends all of the other ingredients making it an excellent base material. In addition musk often imparts it’s own scent into the perfume. How does just plain musk smell? Like sandalwood, urine and ambergris, it is very sharp at first, with a unique spicy quality that varies from musk to musk, followed by a sweet uncutuous finish. The synthetic musks translate that fatty quality into a more airy, powdery effect that is much clearer and more appealing to the modern nose. Some musk has a very floral-rosey quality as well but it smells as if the flowers had been cooked down into a tarry oil; musk has to be diluted to be appreciated. And when it is allowed to mix with air and other ingredients, it creates an expanding softness that travels on the air and enlivens all the others elements, enticing the nose and creating a longing to smell more.
