What does Civet Musk smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole. The animal warmth of musk and civet meets Indian oud and costus root, while mandarin orange and neroli lift the weight a little. Spices and juniper berry add a smoky, earthy, slightly leathery woodiness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are tentative. It suits men and women alike, and anyone who enjoys dense oriental, animalic fragrances. Ensar Oud Tripura Musk and Mazzolari Lui have a close profile.
