What does Armani Privé - Musc Shamal smell like?

Rose and white musk sit up front, aldehydes add a fresh brightness, and vanilla brings a creamy, sweet warmth. Cedarwood and amberwood build a woody base underneath, with spicy and oriental touches wrapped around it.

Most voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It leans towards fall and spring, and suits night out and evening wear. Most voters find it feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. Perfumes with a close profile include El Nabil Musc El Quraishi and Chanel Allure.
