What does Russian Musk II smell like?

The top is fresh with lemon, fir, bergamot and pine. In the heart, tonka bean, sandalwood, clove and cinnamon add spicy warmth. The base of vetiver, amber, patchouli and oakmoss gives it a chypre, earthy and slightly animalic foundation.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. It reads mostly masculine, with a strong classic streak. Areej Le Doré Russian Musk Attar and Areej Le Doré Russian Musk (Extrait de Parfum) have a close profile.
