What does Musk / Moschus / Wild Musk smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring following behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions, and most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with green notes, lime and lavender for a fresh start. Rose, jasmine and carnation in the heart add a soft, lightly spicy floral touch. The base of musk, amber and precious woods settles it into a sweet, woody, slightly animalic finish. Montale Intense Roses Musk and Jōvan Musk for Men (Cologne) have a close profile.
