What does Russian Musk (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest fall, winter and spring, while summer lags behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it also gets worn for leisure. Voters read it as masculine more often than feminine.

Pine, fir, mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon give it a fresh, citrusy start. In the heart, tonka bean, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and sandalwood add a sweet, spicy warmth, softened by orange blossom. The base settles into a woody, resinous, chypre-leaning structure of vetiver, amber, deer musk, patchouli, oakmoss and several oud notes. Areej Le Doré Russian Musk II and Parfums de Marly Darley have a close profile.
