I finally tried the “legendary” Abdul Kareem Egyptian Musk. Can confirm that it is the BEST! I’ an Egyptian musk fiend and already own Auric Blends; Zelds’s; Kuumba Made; and some from my local...

I purchased this Egyptian musk after reading the reviews here, from Amazon. This musk oil is a thinner consitency than many, which is a bit of a plus: it comes out of the bottle for quicker...

Bought into it because I like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, but I actually enjoy it on its own-it doesn't scream "musk", but it whispers it and is nice and soapy. It is beachy perfection. Really sexy...

I've heard about this being CBK's signature musk oil for years, but it was the 90's and I think there are better options now. I don't like subtle skin musks and prefer those that compliment my...

I love this scent! I mostly use to layer with other fragrances or sometimes wear to work as it is very subtle. This brand is maybe a little 'soapy' smelling but in a nice way! Whenever I wear it...

Yes, I admit that I got suckered into purchasing this fragrance after reading about how Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy "allegedly" wore this oil. But! I loooove this fragrance. I always come back to it,...

I have been wearing Egyptian Musk for over 20 years. I used to buy mine from the Lebanese supermarket in my old neighborhood. Since I moved to the other side of the continent, I've had to try...

It finally arrived today! After carefully reading reviews and comparing this musk to 2 others, I decided I indeed needed it for my (small) collection. This one is fresh without being "white", clean...

For me, other EM oils are better. If you look up "Egyptian Musk" on this site - not the Abdul Kareem brand, but just plain ole EM, you will find lots of good recommendations. It seems like the...

I read about this musk being the favorite of the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's and decided to try it. Admittedly, I didn't like it at first but it eventually grew on me and has become one of my...

I only detect the slightest difference between this and AB Egyptian Goddess. Both are slightly sweet with a soft, smoky drydown which I'm not too crazy about. They smell completely different (and...

For me, this is the best Egyptian Musk. I have tried many others, but they were too strong, too soapy, too floral or non-existent on my skin. This musk is a skin but better scent. I have many...

I was suckered in by other reviews and the fact that Carolyn Bissette Kennedy used it. (Yes, I listened to the hype and fell for it.) However, I like my fragrances to be very sweet, and this was...

Clean smelling musk, not unlike a musky washing powder. Does not last or have even very much smell from the get go. In terms of fragrance punch for your buck this is actually pretty expensive....

This is a rich deep musk compared to the clean fresh smelling Egyptian Musks. It reminds me of a caramel scent (as in the richness) minus the sweetness. My favourite is Auric Blend's Egyptian...

I love this musk, it's uncomplicated, very pretty and soft and I can catch whiffs of it throughout the day. Non-animalic in aroma but I think I can smell some lovely amber in this. This is rounded...

Abdul Kareem is touted as the original Egyptian Musk. It is a lovely EM indeed. I just wish it was a little more vivid from a lasting power standpoint. It's very subtle. I guess I love Egyptian...

This is a very clean, light, and wearable EM. Almost a bit too agreeable for my tastes, as I like my EM’s just a bit animalic. This is however, great as layering base for sweet scents, it grounds...
