What does The Musc (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter chosen least. Daily wear, leisure and business are the settings named most often. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. It is sold as unisex, though most voters find its character feminine.

The scent reads as a single whole: red ginger and Provençal lavender give a clean, lightly spicy freshness, while Australian sandalwood and beeswax settle it on a woody, creamy base. Serenolide and Nirvanolide® bring out the sweet, powdery and synthetic side. A floral tone stays in the background.
