WoodyWhat does Essence Musk smell like?
It opens with grapefruit, marine notes and mandarin orange leaf. Watermelon, peppermint and lavender form the heart, with nutmeg adding a light spice. White musk, amber, bourbon vetiver and cedar settle underneath, making the base sweet and woody. The overall impression is fresh, green and fruity, with a clean synthetic edge.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is worn mainly for daily use, leisure and the office rather than for nights out. Most voters see it as masculine. Hugo Boss Hugo Jeans and Montblanc Legend Spirit have a close profile.
