Nubian Musk by Sana Jardin was launched in 2017, crafted by the renowned perfumer Carlos Benaïm. This fragrance is a Floral Woody Musk that seduces with its blend of musk and vanilla, rose, jasmine, Moroccan grapefruit flower, Haitian vetiver, and Australian sandalwood. It captures the essence of a physical encounter, a chemical attraction where limbs entwine and souls are lost to pure carnal desire. The top note of grapefruit blossom introduces a fresh, slightly citrusy aroma, while the heart notes of rose and jasmine add a floral warmth. The base notes of musk, patchouli, cypriol oil, vanilla, and Haitian vetiver create an earthy and powdery depth that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Nubian Musk blooms slowly on the skin, so a few light spritzes will ensure it develops fully. It's best applied to pulse points and left undisturbed for an hour to allow its complex notes to meld together. This fragrance reads better close to the skin rather than in the air, making it ideal for more intimate settings.
