Oh how I’ve missed REAL Egyptian musk. For so many years, I used it as my “signature scent” base regardless of any other fragrance/cologne I’ve added into the mix, so much so that my coworkers could always tell what phone I had used in the pharmacy because they would always say “it smells like you in a good way.”

Friends of mine would borrow a shirt from me and say “what kind of laundry detergent do you use? I need to get some because it smells really good“ and I would send them on their merry way to join the denizens of the Egyptian musk fan club.

But then like the blanketing cover of fog on a hot summer morning, it was gone. Nowhere to be found. So I searched like a rabid bloodhound on the trail of a madman fugitive, looking high and low everywhere I could to no avail. I perused fragrance forums on the interwebs to look for any minuscule hint as to where my next permutation of Egyptian musk could be found.

I looked online at what seemed to be hundreds of different versions and pulled the trigger on ordering one after another, with each one being a massive disappointment. None of them even compared. I hated to admit that my beloved scent which had been as powerful as the Egyptian gods themselves was never to be found again.

But now, akin to Ra shining beams of glorious warmth down upon us, Egyptian musk is back and oh baby, it’s the real damn deal.

If you love that original and completely unmistakable scent the way I do, your pharmacist (me) implores you to take this as qualified medical advice and get yourself a bottle or ten, you won’t be disappointed.
