What does Witchmusk smell like?

Woods, patchouli and musk form the backbone, while vanilla softens that woody base into something creamy and powdery. Broom and sabinene add a green, spicy edge, and the animal and earthy accords keep the whole darker in tone.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it sits comfortably in between.
