What does Musc Originel 1988 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays close rather than announcing itself. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily, leisure and business settings leading. Though unisex, more voters read it as feminine, and a fair number as masculine.

The scent is built around white musk, cotton flower, lily of the valley and jasmine. Iris and ylang-ylang soften the floral side, amber adds sweetness and warmth, and the animalic notes stay in the background for depth. It reads fresh, creamy and powdery. Its profile is close to Carrement Belle Musc.
