Still trying to find a local Ann Arbor horse groomer. Not because I have a horse, but because I need shavings of Horse Chestnut—a harmless overgrowth on a horse’s leg that smells like Tonquin deer musk when tinctured. Need it for an upcoming Smell & Tell. leparfumeurrebelle.blogspot.com/2011/02/reprin…
I’ve smelled true Tonkin Musk against tincture of Horse Chestnut (not the plant, overgrowth on a horse’s leg that is removed by groomers). They smell alike. Should be run through a GC Mass Spec. Would like to know where the chemical similarity begins and ends between these two.
Sources for equine Horse Chestnut are beginning to come through. You won't believe the name of one retired thoroughbred horse—perfect for a cruelty-free musk tincture. (Note: song is cued to the name because it has serious mojo).
@Salticidae You rule.
