What does Musk Cologne smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading the occasions. Voters read it as masculine and classic more often than feminine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with tangerine, lemon, orange and bergamot for a fresh citrus lift. In the heart, lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, magnolia and green tea add a soft floral, green touch. The base of Indian sandalwood and Siberian deer musk settles into a creamy, woody finish. Mazzolari Vetiver and Bortnikoff Vatinee have a close profile.
