it's like sex in a bottle

that, or something like it, was what my friend Dina told me of Kiehl's Musk Essence Oil. According to Kiehl's their musk oil has been around since the 1920's and was discovered in the Kiehl's Apothecary, labeled as "Love Oil" no less, in the late 50's. I bought the oil after Dina's declaration and was not disappointed. Until I lost it somewhere in the abyss of my overly crowded bedroom. Too lazy to search for it, I simply bought another and was reminded of the heady yet sexiness of the scent. I loved it to the point where I stocked up on the body lotion AND eau de toilette (above). Obsessive much? Perhaps.

Kiehl's Original Musk is warm and cozy and completely changes your attitude. I'm a huge fans of musks because of the warmth they provide when applied. What you smell in the beginning is what you get hours later - a little bit floral (bergamot nectar and ylang-ylang are among the top and mid notes) with an oriental finish of white patchouli, musk and tonka nut.

The eau de toilette spray is available for $42.50, while the roller ball is $26. Heck, do what I did and go for the lotion ($20) as well.
