Musc Gardénia d'Or

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the votes behind these ratings are few, so they are better read as a first impression than a firm verdict. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with honey, rosemary and pink pepper, which bring the sweetness and a little spice first. The heart builds the floral body from mimosa, orange blossom, jasmine and osmanthus. It settles into a woody, resinous warmth of Mongolian musk, Ceylonese sandalwood and Papua oud.
