Night Magic Evening Musk is a fragrance that captivates the senses with its enchanting and mesmerizing aroma. It is a scent that effortlessly combines the magic of the night with the sensuality of musk. The fragrance opens with a burst of citrusy notes that instantly awaken the senses and create a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere. These bright and zesty top notes are complemented by the warmth of spices, adding a hint of intrigue and mystery to the fragrance. As the scent develops, the heart notes emerge, revealing a rich and luxurious bouquet of floral and fruity notes. Blooming jasmine and exotic orchid intertwine with sweet and succulent berries, creating a mesmerizing and alluring scent that captures the essence of a magical evening.
Sparky was designed by artist and former Disney employee Berk Anthony in the late 1940s. But he was designed as a logo, not a mascot.
One of the challenging things about developing a model like this is that you have to find the best possible spatial indicator for all of the criteria, and that requires a working knowledge of a lot of different research topics, said Meerow, co-author of the study whose research focuses on city resilience planning in the face of climate change. Using something like multicriteria decision analysis could help generate those plans because you can then see where the potentially most suitable spaces are located, then see how you could develop a network rather than thinking of these as one-off independent sites.
Blooming jasmine and exotic orchid intertwine with sweet and succulent berries, creating a mesmerizing and alluring scent that captures the essence of a magical evening. The base notes of Night Magic Evening Musk are where the true allure of the fragrance lies. A seductive blend of musk, sandalwood, and amber envelop the senses, creating a warm and sensual trail that is both captivating and enticing.
Beloved ASU mascot sparks innovation in design challenge
Arizona State University students have embraced the nickname “Sun Devils” since Nov. 20, 1946, when a student body vote approved the now famous moniker.
Sparky the Sun Devil first appeared on the football field in the early 1950s and has slowly evolved in appearance over the decades. And while no changes to Sparky’s look are on the horizon, some visionary ASU students are exploring ways to “level up” the adored mascot’s powers and create an innovative, technology-enhanced version for the future. Ignite Sparky was a yearlong design challenge for the Arizona State University community to bring Sparky up to the next level of innovation.

Ignite Sparky, a yearlong design challenge open to the ASU community of students, faculty and alumni, brings together Sun Devil Athletics, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts in a collaborative effort that will see a new Sparky emerge.
More than 25 teams submitted proposals at the kickoff of the Ignite Sparky Design Challenge last fall. But as the school year has progressed, a series of mini-challenges have narrowed the field to six finalist teams and their innovative ideas for how to transform Sparky.
Now, three teams’ projects will move forward for further analysis and possible implementation by either Sun Devil Athletics or the university to promote the school and deliver a “wow” moment for fans. The three advancing teams were each awarded $1,000, while the three other finalists were each awarded $500.
The idea for the Ignite Sparky challenge came from Brian Swette, an ASU alumnus and president of Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Swette’s goal was to bring Sparky up to the next level of innovation, increase his power and even give the character a little bit of attention-grabbing flash.
“What makes me really excited about this is just to see how young people have come up with tremendous ideas,” said Swette. “They present them well, they work collaboratively and it’s been really heartwarming and exciting to see.”
Swette, a member of the board of directors for the Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation, is the primary donor for Ignite Sparky.

Sparky’s Inferno
The Sparky’s Inferno team featured a trio of Fulton Schools students: informatics junior Natalie Mason, mechanical engineering seniors Kenny Truong and Matthew Nolan, and Lecturer Anoop Grewal, their faculty mentor.
The team created several concepts throughout the challenge but fused them into three big ideas for their pitch.
Their "Solar Fury" idea features a pair of large, articulated vortex air cannons that fire rings of fog and a blast of air into the crowd during football games at Sun Devil Stadium.
“Our inspiration initially stemmed from the ‘Stomp the Bus’ video,” said Nolan. “We wanted to more viscerally capture the essence of Sparky beaming down from the sun and marching with a dust storm in his wake.”
“We love this idea for two reasons,” said Truong. “One, it’s a freaking cannon! And two, it’s a multifaceted event. It is loud, it is visually incendiary and the audience will get to physically experience the energy as Sparky comes on the field.”
Their second idea, "Sparky Storm," is designed to replicate a dust devil in which Sparky could ride around the field. In this scenario, Sparky rides out onto the field on a robotic platform that will emit smoke and create cylindrical air flow and the illusion of a cyclonic dust devil.
Their final idea was the enhanced pitchfork, which will take the traditional pitchfork that Sparky carries to an exciting new level. The new pitchfork would utilize compressed fog to shoot blasts of smoke from the prongs, which will then be illuminated by lasers. Another feature of the pitchfork is to dynamically react to Sparky’s movements to create a light show on the shaft of the pitchfork itself.
The group has been working together for three years now as part of the Sun Devil Robotics Club, including work on a planetary rover for a competition called the University Rover Challenge, and for an ASU-hosted combat robotics competition called the Sun Devil Smackdown.
“Ignite Sparky is a really nice way to be able to give back,” said Mason. “The idea of our designs being used long-term and earning a place in Sparky’s story is exceptionally cool.”

Sparky’s Lightning
The Sparky’s Lightning team featured Andrew Deros, a junior studying mechanical engineering and industrial design, and Ben Weber, a first-year aerospace engineering student.
The pair were inspired by an electrical aura around Sparky’s pitchfork and decided to create a Tesla coil that will use the energy of the crowd’s cheering to generate electricity in the Tesla coils beside Sparky.
“Our inspiration came from Sparky’s backstory,” said Deros. “It just felt natural to give him the ability to harness lightning. I envision Sparky using his new power to play AC/DC’s 'Thunderstruck' with lightning and amping up the crowd to cheer on the football team and lead them to victory.”
The duo met during the original hackathon for Ignite Sparky, but have worked on other hackathons since then.
“In each stage of the Ignite Sparky challenge, we improved on the design. And seeing the side-by-side comparisons of this growth has been really fun,” said Weber. “I am looking forward to seeing Sparky embrace his power and command the lightning.”

Ignite with Light
The Ignite with Light team consisted of first-year mechanical engineering major Oskar Kozieja and business (information security) junior Ci’mone Rogers, who is also a transfer student in her first year at ASU. Kozieja and Rogers first met at the initial Ignite Sparky Design Challenge informational meeting.
“Virtually, we both connected, made a quick bond and were driven to implement a plan for the judges, students, staff and community members to love,” said Rogers.
The team proposed a drone light show inspired by the ones that were performed at the opening ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
“I have a great appreciation for drones because of their versatility and usefulness in different settings, such as photography, entertainment, the workforce and armed services,” said Kozieja. “I believe that it would be amazing if our design would be implemented in Sun Devil Athletics and throughout the university.”
The team envisions 10 to 20 people working with 250 drones that can be programmed to display images over the stadium with sayings such as “Forks Up,” or even a picture of Sparky himself.
The legacy of Sparky
Sparky has been inspiring ASU athletics for generations, and over that time he has become a symbol for the entire ASU community. How he gets “ignited” remains to be determined, but all of the teams provided some great ideas to be considered.
Christine Wilkinson, senior vice president and secretary of ASU, president and CEO of the ASU Alumni Association and managing director of the Trustees of ASU, attended the Ignite Sparky event and shared what Sparky means to ASU.
“Sparky is not only the embodiment of Sun Devil Athletics, but our university overall,” said Wilkinson. “Sparky represents the enthusiasm and innovative spirit that keeps us moving forward.”

Reviews for "The Mysterious Spell of Evening Musk: Transforming Your Evenings into Fantasy"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Night Magic Evening Musk. The scent itself is overpowering and artificial, and it gave me a headache every time I wore it. I had high hopes for a musky scent, but instead, it just smelled like chemicals. The longevity was also poor, as the fragrance seemed to disappear within a couple of hours. Overall, I would not recommend this perfume to anyone looking for a quality musk fragrance.
2. Sarah - 1 star - Night Magic Evening Musk was a complete letdown for me. The scent was simply too strong and musky, it almost smelled like an old-fashioned and outdated perfume. I found it very unpleasant and couldn't even wear it for longer than a few minutes. It's unfortunate because I was hoping for a sophisticated musk scent, but this was far from it. It's safe to say I won't be purchasing this perfume again.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I tried the Night Magic Evening Musk based on the positive reviews, but it just didn't work for me. The musky scent was overwhelming and gave me a headache. Additionally, it didn't blend well with my body chemistry, resulting in a rather unpleasant combination of smells. The longevity was also questionable as the scent faded quickly. Overall, I would say this perfume is not worth the price, and I would advise others to sample it before purchasing.
4. Michael - 1 star - I found Night Magic Evening Musk to be incredibly synthetic and artificial smelling. The musk note was way too strong, and it didn't have the elegant and sensual quality I was expecting. It reminded me of cheap drugstore colognes and I regretted purchasing it. The fragrance didn't last long either, which was disappointing considering the price. I would not recommend this perfume for anyone who appreciates a more refined and natural musk scent.
5. Samantha - 2 stars - Night Magic Evening Musk did not live up to my expectations. The musk scent was overpowering and had an old-fashioned feel to it, which wasn't what I was looking for. It lacked depth and complexity, becoming quite generic on my skin. The lasting power was also underwhelming, as the scent seemed to fade away within a few hours. Overall, I would say this perfume is not for those seeking a modern take on musk.
