AnimalWhat does Filthy Musk smell like?
It opens with honey, pineapple and animalic musk, while patchouli, nutmeg and jasmine absolute build a spicy, floral heart. The base brings amber, vanilla, caramel and rum sweetness together with civet and more animalic musk, and tonka bean absolute ties it into a warm, powdery finish.
Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong. Winter, spring and fall lead, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits right between the two.
