What does Musc X smell like?

Frankincense resin leads, while cotton candy and cistus absolute sit in the heart, so the sweetness is tempered by a resinous, spicy edge. The base leans on amber, ambroxan, benzoin, ambrette seed absolute and musk, drying down into a synthetic, creamy warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, with most voters scoring both high, though the number of votes is small. It suits anyone after a smooth musk that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. The Dua Brand Marked by X and Bujairami Musk Burn have a close profile.
