What does The Hedonist Signature Musc smell like?

The top notes are bergamot and ginger, one bright and clean, the other sharp and spicy. In the heart, cedarwood and Akigalawood® give it a dry, woody backbone. The base brings Haitian vetiver, tonka bean and musk: the vetiver adds an earthy firmness, while the tonka and musk soften it. A synthetic, clean air runs through the accords and gives the scent a modern feel. Ex Nihilo The Hedonist (Eau de Parfum) and Parfums de Marly Castley have a close profile.
