Zoologist Musk Deer

Brutal winter winds buffet the Siberian forest. The tall trees long for summer's return, short though it may be. But at the base of several bare trunks, invisible love notes call to a would-be mate

The fragrant missives are secretions left by the male musk deer

Long fangs give the buck a demonic appearance, but they too play a role in the mating ritual  weapons in the tussle with rivals for a doe's love

The dream of a mate sustains the lonely musk deer as it searches out scraps of lichen and moss among cold, barren roots

For centuries musk deer have been hunted to near extinction, coveted for their fragrant musk pods. Zoologist respects this majestic creature, masterfully recreating the distinctive scent though a mixture of synthetic musks and natural oud and florals. The result evokes the animal desire of a lusty musk deer amid the alluring chill of a wintry forest, all captured without a hint of menace
