What does Myst smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It is made for both men and women.

As a whole it reads sweet and floral: jasmine, tuberose and rose sit on a creamy base, with orris butter adding a powdery softness. Sandalwood, patchouli and musk give it a woody, earthy depth, while ambergris and carrot seed leave an animalic, spicy trace beneath the flowers.
