CreamyWhat does Velvet Blue Musk / Velvet Oriental Musk smell like?
The spices lead at first; in the heart, cypriol, sandalwood and damask rose pull the scent in a floral, woody direction. The base of tonka bean, musk and cedarwood leaves a sweet, creamy, oriental warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets worn at leisure. More voters call it feminine than masculine, but both have a real share, so it sits between the two. Sapil Laheeb and French Avenue Musc d'Prive have a close profile.
