Somali Musk

Narrative

From the radiant shores of Somalia to the bustling streets of Mogadishu, the "White pearl of the Indian Ocean," Somali Musk is an exquisite journey through the heart of a nation that is both ancient and ever-renewing. This fragrance is an olfactory homage to the beauty of Somali culture, the warmth of its people, and the indomitable spirit of its capital.

Source of Inspiration

Inspired by Somalia, Somali Musk honors the country's natural beauty, from its coastal cities to its arid hinterlands. It reminds the legacy of the queen Arraweelo, and traditions that has shaped its identity, among them, Somali bakhoor, known locally as unsi.

Name Meaning

Somali Musk is a name that clearly evokes Somalia. And the name reflects also the botanical white musk that serves as a foundation for this perfume.

Description

Starting with the evocative warmth of Somali bakhoor, Somali Musk invites you into the heart of Somalia's traditions. The traditional incense Unsi, used for centuries, fills homes with a welcoming aroma that speaks of gatherings, stories, and the strength of family bonds. It then unfolds into a bouquet of rose combined with the famous frankincense, a precious raw material from Somalia. The fragrance culminates in a base of Arabian white musk, a smooth, serene note that offers a clean and sweet elixir.

Application

Applying attars is an art that requires a delicate touch to fully experience their rich and long-lasting scents. To begin, ensure your hands are clean. Apply a small amount to your pulse points where veins are closest to the skin: the inner part of your wrists and behind your ears. Gently dab the attar without excessive rubbing to preserve the head notes.

For a more immersive experience, consider applying attars to your neck, beard, and hair. Be careful when applying to clothing, as it is oil and can stain. If you choose to apply it to your garments, use a small amount. Remember, the more you apply, the higher the projection and sillage. The key is moderation; a little attar goes a long way, and you can reapply to intensify the scent.
