What does Musc Oil smell like?

Its longevity is rated good, while the sillage stays moderate, so it sits close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters read it as feminine.

The notes are heliotrope, iris, musk and ambroxan. A powdery floral base carries a sweetness and a clean freshness, with animal and spicy accords staying in the background and a synthetic sheen adding a faint brightness. Serge Lutens Clair de musc and Hermès Musc Pallida have a close profile.
