What does Bergamusk smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative.

It opens with vervain, thyme, lime, bergamot and lavender, giving a spicy, fruity freshness. Jasmine and cedar sit in the heart, with musk, ambrettolide and sandalwood underneath; it softens over time into a woody, musky finish. A synthetic tone also runs through the accords.
